Tuyet and Tomi - Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach


I love these guys! Their wedding day was just filled with special touches. From the amazing flowers, decor and lighting to butterflies, trumpeters, a grand entrance on a Vietnamese Cyclo, special dance and music performances that were projected live by us, an amazing first dance with choreography you would see on "Dancing With The Stars" and a screening of their concept video we produced which included Austin Powers! I'll have to put a clip of that up soon!!

What really touched me was how in love these two are, and how much their families and friends mean to them. Both Tuyet and Tomi spoke about their parents during the ceremony...and there was not a dry eye anywhere during the toasts from their family and friends.

This clip is from the beginning of their production which included our "Contemporary Edit".

A Unique First Dance - The Langham Hotel in Pasadena California


I couldn't resist showing part of Holly and Darwin's first dance! It included a voice-over with the story of how they met and fell in love. It's such a great option to include as part of your reception festivities, and gives your guests the opportunity to hear your unique story.

Holly and Darwin - The Langham Hotel in Pasadena California


These guys were such a sweet couple! Holly's mom is a producer for Disney, so I was extremely honored that they chose me to film their wedding day celebrations. Their day had so many personal touches...vows written by both Holly and Darwin had just about everyone in tears during the ceremony...members of the Bridal Party sang during the ceremony...and even the music chosen for their video soundtrack was written and performed by Darwin (and his awesome band) and two other groomsmen with their bands.

Special thanks to Victor Sizemore (VCS Photography) for giving me some still shots to incorporate in the video.

Here's a short highlight from their production.

Munjari and Vikas - Malibu

I love the traditions, symbolism, and colors that are used throughout the typical week long ceremonies that happen before the actual wedding day. We filmed the Sangeet party and the Mehendi ceremonies...all of which took place at Munjari's home. This wedding day included two ceremonies, one Hindu and one Sikh. The music and chanting during both ceremonies was amazing.

Their outdoor reception took place at the Mountain Gate Country Club with cocktails taking place on the green. Traditional Indian food was cooked on site, and dinner and dancing lasted well into the night.
