Michele and Emin - Pelican Hill Resort


Pelican Hill Resort is such a beautiful place to get married! From the bridal suite and Villas, to the Italian Rotunda ceremony site with stunning panoramic views of the ocean, and the georgeous Ballroom...it really is magical. And the staff does such a great job.

Everything about Michele and Emin's day was perfect! After filming Michele and her girls getting ready, we set-up for their first glance. Of course tears all around, and more when Michele saw her father looking at her! The ceremony was so sweet...just the way these two looked at each other said it all. Once Emin figured which finger to put the ring on (!) they were officially anounced husband and wife.

The ballroom was so pretty with the late afternoon sun streaming thrrough the windows. I really loved their choice of colors...lots of red roses, black bridesmaids dresses...very elegant!

After a fun first dance, with lots of audience participation (!) a belly dance group performed some wonderful dances. I wish I could belly dance, it's so cool! Great toasts followed, some of which you can hear on their highlight clip here. So many wonderful memories and moments were shared by everyone this night. Thank you Michele and Emin for the complete honor of filming your wedding celebrations!





Annette and Jesus - Santa Rosa de Lima Church and Double Tree Hotel


Ok...I don't say this about everyone, but Annette and Jesus are just one of the sweetest couples we've ever met!

After filming Annette getting ready, we headed over to the church for what was a truly beautiful ceremony. It included a Mariachi band that played all of the traditional Catholic ceremony music.

Guests were treated to a fun cocktail hour with a photo booth and the same Mariachi band from the ceremony. The ballroom was draped and had a cool lighting scheme that changed throughout the night. After their grand entrance, Annette and Jesus began their first dance during which all the guests waved small lights...it really looked like stars twinkling all around them!

Every toast included tears from everyone. One other TOTALLY unique feature was the short bridal veils Annette gave out to all the single ladies for the bouquet toss. Such a fun idea!

Just a beautiful day filled with much love for these two. Congratulations Annette and Jesus!
