Diane & Pejman - Ritz Marina Del Rey

We had such a fun time with these two! After filming preparations we had lot's of time to get some great shots with the beautiful back-drop of the Ritz Marina Del Rey. The bridal party danced down the aisle, before the candle-lit ceremony under a georgeous Hupa began. The reception started right after, and the dancing went all night (and into the morning!) with a rockin' band! Beautiful flowers, an endless fruit table, pink and purple lighting setting the mood, it really was a dream wedding.

Sheiva and Andrew - The Ritz Carlton, Marina del Rey

WOW...where to start in describing this amazing wedding! It was such a relaxed day as the ceremony started after the sun had set. I had all morning to get footage of both Sheiva and Andrew getting ready...it really is one of my favorite parts of the day...and the video of Sheiva's dad walking down the hall giving a big "thumbs-up" as he saw her in her gown is just priceless! Then we had a few hours to capture Andrew when he first saw Sheiva, tons of shots around the hotel, a family photo session, and then more time with the two of them down by the marina. They were both so photogenic...guess that's why I shot endless hours of video!

There was a pre-ceremony cocktail hour with THE most amazing spread of food I think I've ever seen, including sushi chefs and music from a wonderful violinist. The Ketubah signing then followed with a wonderful description by the Rabi of the customs and meanings involved with this ceremony. Then all the guests made their way to the beautiful ceremony site which was lit with candles...as the sky turned dark, the procession music started, and Sheiva made her way down the stairs...everyone erupted into clapping and chanting...it gave me goosebumps!

Here are some highlights from this beautiful day.
