Katie and Andy - Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel

This opening highlight film from Katie and Andy's production incorporates the piece of art work that was painted on-site by a talented artist. It's always fun to watch the couple and the guests reactions as the art work is being painted during the event. At the end of the night Katie and Andy had a unique piece from their day to hang on their wall!

Nour and Amer - St. Regis Resort

Here are highlights from Nour and Amer's Engagement Celebration at Club 19. Their ceremony took place two days after Nour's sister Reem and Amer's brother Samer had their Wedding celebration. Two sisters and two brothers who found love...truly one beautiful story, and now one amazing family!

Reem and Samer - The Fairmont Hotel

This Wedding Celebration included the exchange of rings on the dance floor after the beginning Zaffa entrance. Earlier in the day we had lots of time to spend with the couple getting fun shots of when they first saw each other, and more of the family photo session. The reception was incredible with a series of lighting changes throughout the night, beautiful decor and an amazing dessert spread that spanned one whole wall of the venue!

A photo montage played throughout the night, and after the opening traditional dances, guests were treated to a 45 minute performance by numerous belly dancers. It really was a beautiful evening...and two days after their wedding...Reem's sister Nour would be engaged to Samer's brother Amer! A great story there that was shared again during the toasts.

FUN Photo Session

Ok...I had to put this up...it's the photo session coverage from Nicole and Dominic's wedding day. Nicole was a bridesmaid last year for a friend of mine (who is also a wedding photographer) and was the photographer for this wedding. Everyone knew each other...so the entire group had a blast at Balboa Park in San Diego.

Nicole and Dominic - San Diego

This was an awesome day with locations all around San Diego. Nicole and Dominic's ceremony took place in their local church, we then spent time with the bridal party at Balboa Park, and from there went to their reception at the Sheraton Hotel and Marina. These two met while Dominic was visiting from Germany...that visit turned into an engagement when he met Nicole!
The following clip is a highlight montage from their wedding day.

Charmae and Abram - [seven degrees] in Laguna Beach

OK...a wedding on 7/07/07 at 7 Degrees...how fun is THAT! It's such a unique location, and Charmae and Abram really made it their own for the day! They incorporated so many details...a classic Lincoln w/suicide doors (!), red-carpet walk outside and a white shag carpet for the processional. a logo that was designed by Charmae and projected on the walls...actually Charmae designed just about all of the details...it's her job!

Awesome toasts, hot band, a special video montage projected on all the walls...it really was an amazing event, and since these two met back in high school and have always had the same group of friends...it was quite the party as the evening went on!!

Aimee and Joshua - The Surf & Sand Resort

Such a great location...one really is on the edge of the ocean! The ceremony site here floats above the waves, and pelicans are always flying by...we always capture awesome shots when we film here.

Aimee and Joshua had met many years before, but it took a date set-up by Aimee's bridesmaid to get these two finally together! They had such a sweet ceremony, and their reception was a blast with a DJ from LA spinning actual vinyl...what a cool mix of music, family and friends. Oh yea...the poem her dad read during his toast...oh my gosh, tears all around.
