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.

HixMix Rocks The House!

The DJ at Nour and Amer's wedding in Newport Beach ROCKED THE HOUSE! The couple wanted a hip club feel for their reception, so with great lighting and this DJ...they got what they wanted!! It was a blast filming everyone dancing...it was hard keeping the camera steady as we wanted to get out there and dance as well!

Monica and Marc - Avalon Casino Catalina Island

Monica and Marc love to sail...Marc has been racing professionally for many years...OF COURSE they would have their wedding celebrations on an Island...and sail there as well!

Friends and family came from all over the world to celebrate with these two. The groomsmen were over-the-top FUN and everyone had an amazing time. One of the best moments was right after the vows and rings ceremony...there was silence for a few seconds as the officiant was getting ready to conclude the ceremony...and a boat horn went off...a perfect moment that gave everyone a laugh!

The lighting in the Casino, that Monica orchestrated, was truly stunning. The flowers, especially in the alter area, were gorgeous. And the band that played had EVERYONE dancing the entire night. It was a perfect destination wedding for these two, and we so enjoyed spending time with them and filming their day!

The Stellar Show Band

You have got to check out this band! They played at Monica and Marc's wedding on Catalina Island...and they ROCKED! The playlist included everything from Deep Purple to Dee Lite to Outcast to Beyonce...and pretty much everything in-between!!

As I've said before...if you're paying for a band...don't you want to HEAR the band on your wedding production??!! We always include the audio as it was performed and spend a great deal of time making sure it is recorded properly and mixed in post-production. We love bands who help us out with the audio feeds we need. Thanks Reggie and gang!

Brooke and Carlos - St. Regis Resort Monarch Beach

WOW...a weekend of celebrations including a beautiful ceremony on the Pacific Lawn, with musicians and singers, and a huge dove release! The morning started with both Brooke and Carlos getting ready with their family and friends...we were able to capture the moment when each of them had a special gift delivered to the other...Carlos is such a ROMANTIC!

Each part of the day had a different theme with awesome decor and lighting. The cocktail hour included a display of pumpkins with words carved into them..."LOVE, I DO, YES, WILL YOU MARRY ME"...this was how Carlos had proposed to Brooke!

The reception included the always fun Wayne Foster Band, a huge dance floor, a cute groom cake, an outdoor lounge set-up...and did I mention the KILLER lighting!!
