Pani & Ronnie - The Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel

Pani and Ronnie had a gorgeous sunset ceremony on the Ritz lawn, over-looking the ocean. The site included an elaborate Sofreh. Everything placed on it symbolizes the many qualities that a couple hopes to bring into their life together.

My favorites include a large mirror to bring light and brightness into the future, sugar cones which are rubbed together above the couple to bring happiness into their lives, and the honey they share at the end of the ceremony to ensure sweeetness in life.

The reception included a live band, and I think one of the largest fruit tables I have ever seen!

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.

Another Rancho Las Lomas Wedding!

Family and friends flew in from Australia for a wedding at Rancho Las Lomas. Another fun day filled with laughter, love, and tons of memories! And the bride's dress...FANTASTIC! The Father/Daughter dance...BEST EVER!

Ivy and Peter - Waterfront Beach Resort Wedding, Huntington Beach

Ivy and Peter were the winners of a $150,000 wedding contest! All of us that participated had so much fun with these two and their families. There were so many COOL details, including a ride on a fire engine after their ceremony...Peter is a Fire Fighter. I think one of my favorite memories was how throughout the entire day, they would just look at each other...amazed that this gift was happening to them, and with such love for each other. Here's a highlight film from their day.

A Same Day Wedding Edit • Natasha and Daniel

Here's an SDE that we produced for Natasha and Daniel's Reception.

We filmed Natasha's sister Jessica's wedding in 2004, and it was so cool to see everyone again...siblings grown up, two beautiful boys and a girl on the way for Jessica!

Their Assyrian Wedding Ceremony took place at Crossline Community Church, and the Reception followed at The Island Hotel. Natasha's dress was AMAZING! And the reception included really wonderful toasts, belly dancers, lots of dancing, and the presentation of their SDE!

Alison and Chuck - Bel Air Bay Club, CA

Here is a highlight film from Alison and Chuck's crazy fun wedding!

Master Chef was filming during their entire event, while top chefs competed in preparing the reception dinner for over 150 guests.

Melody and Aaron - Private Residence Los Angeles

Melody and Aaron had a SPECTACULAR wedding! Her parent's home and backyard were transformed into a stunning backdrop for what was one of the coolest events we've filmed. So many favorite details and moments...the Bride's dress and her father looking in during the morning while she was getting ready...the Bridesmaids dresses and bouquets, Aaron and his guys doing a roll call of everyone and where they came from...the processional with everyone dancing down the aisle to different songs...the decor...the look of the event as it changed from day to night...I could go on and on!

The photographers and our crew just kept raving to each other how many great shots we were getting...we had so much FUN!!

And the toasts...each one of them were really special. I loved Melody's mom's toast where she talked about how beautiful all the bridesmaids dresses and bouquets were...like a rainbow...and that Melody was the rainbow of her life. How SWEET is that!?!
