Melissa & Jonathan at Monte De Oro Winery Temecula, CA

So excited to share this wedding of two very special people. Their vows and the toasts from their family and friends really told their story...of love, and friendship and the importance of family.

From now on we only want to film at Winerys! Well not only (!) but the venue was killer and gave us the opportunity to film so many cool details including awesome timelapses of the clouds, a gorgeous sunset, and then the rising of a full moon.

It really was a perfect day and we had a blast filming all the fun before the ceremony started...such a FUN bridal party! After the ceremony, guests went down into the wine cellar to cool off and enjoy a glass of wine. And then as the sun set and everyone was seated outside, the entire bridal party danced in with some smooth moves to Footloose...everyone loved it! After a candle-lit dinner under the stars, the party moved inside where the DJ had absolutely everyone, young and old, dancing their behinds off!

LOVES: Melissa's dress, her jewelry, the guys photo session, the vows, the venue, the toasts (best bridesmaids toast ever!), the sky, the sun, the air, the moon, the stars...yea, we had a lot of fun! Congratulations Melissa and Jonathan!!!

Amanda & Alex at The Montage Laguna Beach

Here are Highlights from their GORGEOUS wedding!

This clip really highlights the benefits of having two cinematographers for the entire day. We can capture so much more of the day including awesome shots of the venue, cool timelapses of the ceremony and reception, the guys AND the girls getting ready, and numerous angles of all the events. When there are at least two of us, we have the time to set-up and film killer detail shots with our specialized equipment.

It is truly the best way to have your wedding filmed. You will never look back and wished you had spent less on your wedding film...PROMISE!

Wedding Highlights - Belina & Chris

I LOVE Assyrian weddings! Yelakhyata, Dola & Zorna, m'pulata d'chalo...there are so many fun rituals, wonderful music and traditional dances, and the gathering of so many family members and friends who come together to celebrate with the bride and groom.

We had so much fun filming all the day's events. It was non-stop starting with Belina and Chris getting ready, then off to get some gorgeous shots during their first look, and back to Belina's house for the traditional offering of the bride. So cool...the groom's family dances into the house accompanied by drums and flute, everyone dances, and then another ritual takes place where an offering is made for the bride...it's the only way to get her out of the house and to the church!

After the ceremony we went to another location for more FAB shots of Belina and Chris on some train tracks (Movie Stars!) and then to the reception that went late into the night.

This was one of my favorite edits because I had so much awesome footage!

Thank you Belina and Chris for having us be a part of your big day! We SO enjoyed every single moment!!

Candice & Joe - Rancho Las Lomas

These two met on a blind date, and as Candice's brother said during his toast, Joe had her at "Hello"!

This Highlight Montage includes a lot of sound-design, which I love to include in my edits. Espescially when there is such great audio from the ceremony and toasts!

There was a really great energy throughout the whole day, and we were honored to be a part of it.

Congratulations to Candice and Joe!
