Welcome to our BLOG!

Here you will find lots of clips from all different kinds of weddings, as well as clips of our Photo Montages and our Bar/Bat Mitzvah productions. You can also view a complete sample of one of my “Contemporary Edit“ productions.

When watching the clips, it is best to press play and then immediately pause, to give the clips a chance to load a bit. That way, when you press play again, the clip will play through it’s entirety with no interruptions.

On the right-hand side of the blog, you can find clip listings for specific locations, wedding coordinators and other vendors, specific types of ceremonies (Indian, Persian, Mehndi, etc.), photo montages and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs.

You will notice that every clip is very different. That’s because I personally edit every film for my company. And that is why I can promise you that your production will be just as unique as you and your BIG day are!!

Don’t forget...leave a comment if something engages you!

Light...Love...and Happiness!!

Candice & Joe - Rancho Las Lomas

These two met on a blind date, and as Candice's brother said during his toast, Joe had her at "Hello"!

This Highlight Montage includes a lot of sound-design, which I love to include in my edits. Espescially when there is such great audio from the ceremony and toasts!

There was a really great energy throughout the whole day, and we were honored to be a part of it.

Congratulations to Candice and Joe!

Amita & Raja - Hyatt Huntington Beach, CA

So excited to share the highlights from Amita and Raja's gorgeous wedding! We were with them the entire day, and were able to capture EVERYTHING! It is a blast to have lots of time to set-up and get tons of great shots!!

Amita was stunning in her wedding Sari...such a beautiful Bride. Their Mandap was really pretty with all the traditional elements, and colors of lavender and eggplant which carried over to their reception decor.

Congratulations Amita and Raja! We LOVED filming your day!!

Arda & Harry - Taglyan Cultural Complex, Los Angeles CA

What a beautiful day and evening of dancing, tradition, and more dancing!

Both Arda and Harry started their day with family and friends arriving at their homes to start the day...helping them dress, and with dancing and celebration. After a traditional Greek Ceremony, the reception followed at the Taglyan. It is a beautiful venue, and when you have 300 or 400 guests who need room to dance...this is the place!

My favorite details and moments...of course Arda's STUNNING dress, the morning when the guys helped Harry get dressed, the decor and color palette at the reception, the toasts, the Father/Daughter dance, and the pure joy of everyone who was there to celebrate with Arda and Harry, and their families.

Diane & James - Vessels Ranch

First, I have to tell you if you are looking for a truly unique venue for an outdoor weddding...THIS IS THE PLACE! It's a racehorse breeding facility on 2200 acres, with mountains, lakes, pastures and stunning views. The owners were wonderful to work with. Kash Vessels (one of the owners) even drove us around at sunset to get some of my most favorite shots ever of a couple! We had horses and bulls, trees, a windmill and old barn structures...just totally cool locations to film with gorgeous backdrops.

Diane and James...what an awesome wedding! We had such a blast with you and your bridal party. I loved that we had so much time to get fun shots before the ceremony. Their dog Kenji preceded Diane down the aisle, and part of their ceremony included putting letters to each other, along with a bottle of wine, in a box that they then nailed shut. They will open the box on their 5th year anniversary, read their letters to each other, and toast to their marriage. Love it!

The reception included great BBQ and marshmellow toasting which everyone loved. The DJ had everyone (young and old) on the dance floor for the entire evening.

And if you haven't seen the clip "Just Because..." watch it!

DJ Chad Fortin of INJOY Entertainment

You HAVE to check-out Tini Grey. He is a wonderful musician and a true artist at what he does. Everyone was blown away at the music he played and the songs he sang during the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. You will be amazed...I promise! Just hope he's available for your day!!

Just Because...

I had to put this up in it's entirety! A short performance piece by two Groomsmen at Diane and Jimmy's wedding reception. You two are ROCKSTARS!!

Pani & Ronnie - The Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel

Pani and Ronnie had a gorgeous sunset ceremony on the Ritz lawn, over-looking the ocean. The site included an elaborate Sofreh. Everything placed on it symbolizes the many qualities that a couple hopes to bring into their life together.

My favorites include a large mirror to bring light and brightness into the future, sugar cones which are rubbed together above the couple to bring happiness into their lives, and the honey they share at the end of the ceremony to ensure sweeetness in life.

The reception included a live band, and I think one of the largest fruit tables I have ever seen!
