Monica and Marc - Avalon Casino Catalina Island


Monica and Marc love to sail...Marc has been racing professionally for many years...OF COURSE they would have their wedding celebrations on an Island...and sail there as well!

Friends and family came from all over the world to celebrate with these two. The groomsmen were over-the-top FUN and everyone had an amazing time. One of the best moments was right after the vows and rings ceremony...there was silence for a few seconds as the officiant was getting ready to conclude the ceremony...and a boat horn went off...a perfect moment that gave everyone a laugh!

The lighting in the Casino, that Monica orchestrated, was truly stunning. The flowers, especially in the alter area, were gorgeous. And the band that played had EVERYONE dancing the entire night. It was a perfect destination wedding for these two, and we so enjoyed spending time with them and filming their day!



The Stellar Show Band


You have got to check out this band! They played at Monica and Marc's wedding on Catalina Island...and they ROCKED! The playlist included everything from Deep Purple to Dee Lite to Outcast to Beyonce...and pretty much everything in-between!!

As I've said before...if you're paying for a band...don't you want to HEAR the band on your wedding production??!! We always include the audio as it was performed and spend a great deal of time making sure it is recorded properly and mixed in post-production. We love bands who help us out with the audio feeds we need. Thanks Reggie and gang!

Brooke and Carlos - St. Regis Resort Monarch Beach


WOW...a weekend of celebrations including a beautiful ceremony on the Pacific Lawn, with musicians and singers, and a huge dove release! The morning started with both Brooke and Carlos getting ready with their family and friends...we were able to capture the moment when each of them had a special gift delivered to the other...Carlos is such a ROMANTIC!

Each part of the day had a different theme with awesome decor and lighting. The cocktail hour included a display of pumpkins with words carved into them..."LOVE, I DO, YES, WILL YOU MARRY ME"...this was how Carlos had proposed to Brooke!

The reception included the always fun Wayne Foster Band, a huge dance floor, a cute groom cake, an outdoor lounge set-up...and did I mention the KILLER lighting!!
