Stella and Hla - St. Regis Monarch Beach


What an incredible day! We started early with Stella and her family preparing to greet Hla and his family. Hla had to sing a few songs and hand out a few envelopes before he was allowed to see his bride!! A traditional Tea Ceremony followed and then we were back to St. Regis to get ready for the ceremony on the lawn. This day was filled with so many beautiful traditions, and the look on Hla's face as Stella walked down the aisle was priceless!



Katie and Joe - Orange County Museum of Art


This was such a cool wedding to film! Katie and Joe were married in a Greek Orthodox church...I really love all the traditions associated with their ceremony. And the reception at the OC Museum of Art was the perfect setting for these two! Guests were treated to a choreographed salsa dance and a fun photo montage that was projected on a wall in the museum!

Bar Mitzvah Photo Montage


Here's a photo montage that we created for our Mitzvah Boy! Scott is totally into rock-n-roll...it was the theme for his party!
All of our photo montages are created with video we shoot and photos provided by the client. Each production has a unique theme that showcases the unique personality of each child. They really are a wonderful keepsake for the family...and awesome entertainment for your guests when screened at the party!!



Bar Mitzvah Party Highlight


Here's an Opening Highlight Montage from one of our recent Mitzvah productions. I just love all the cool games and rides that were available for all the guests at this party. Especially the snow boarding ride! I think the adults were having more fun on it than the kids!!

Malika and Robert - The Fairmont Newport Beach


Malika and Robert's wedding celebrations spanned three days...and I don't think they ever stopped smiling for the entire time!

The Mendhi and Sangeet celebrations before the actual wedding day were so much fun to film. There was the traditional henna hand painting, and lots of music, dancing and singing at both events. The Sangeet and the wedding reception also included traditional dance performances, and two well-known singers from India, who with the band, had all the guests dancing the entire night.

Their wedding ceremony was held early in the morning at The Balboa Bay Club, and included the traditional arrival of the groom on a white horse. The reception later that evening at The Fairmont was fantastic...and included amazing lighting and decor, a separate room for desserts and tea, and dancing, dancing, dancing!!

Laura and Brad - The Montage Resort & Spa


It was such a beautiful day at The Montage for Laura and Brad's wedding. The light was just perfect for the entire day...the ocean was a dark blue behind them during their ceremony, and then we had an amazing sunset which gave us some really beautiful shots later in the day!

This was a destination wedding for the couple and their families, and most of their friends were from out of state as well. One of the many special moments during the day was when Laura's dad sang "Our House" by CSNY during his toast...the look on Laura's face was priceless!!

Here's a highlight montage from their production.

Nour and Amer - The Island Hotel Newport Beach


This couple's ceremony was held a few months ago at St. Regis (blog below), and their reception was a few months later where after being introduced with a Zaffa procession, they exchanged rings on the dance floor.

We had an awesome day with these guys and their families! Morning preparations...fun shots on Balboa Island...belly dancers...killer DJ and drummers...wonderful toasts...

This reception was SO much fun! Hardly anyone sat down the entire night, everyone was having too much fun on the dance floor!! Here's a highlight clip from their production.
