So much joy, bittersweet happiness. It was a beautiful day for a wedding.
E’s father was sorely missed. E and the entire Nelson family knows Double L was watching from up above. Many tears of sadness have been shed in the past year, but this day the family shed tears of joy… and perhaps Double L was doing the same.
The beautiful day full of heart, happiness, and most of all family support, took place at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, CA. The day was felt by all that joined as the deep love E and Kara share shined brightly throughout. Also, on the day, the lovely Melissa Laudise of LDT Weddings, who planned everything perfectly, from the cake topper to a birthday cake in honor of one of the groomsmen’s birthdays. Enjoy E and Kara’s Classic Edit!
The Twilight Couple: I heard through the grapevine that is what this beautiful couple is called because of both of their bright blue eyes. When Allison and Sean sent out their Save the Date cards and the both of their eyes were just gleaming, which yesterday were gleaming even brighter as they looked into each other’s eyes and united as one. Allison and Sean could not have looked more excited to finally tie the knot and the day itself was stunning. Every detail was absolutely fabulous! And of course, all the details included the color for this year’s summer weddings: Purple! The bouquet was one of the prettiest I’ve seen. Here is a salute to the adorable newlyweds with a next day teaser. (I’m sure Allison and Sean are enjoying watching this…..FROM MAUI!!!) Congrats!
The Xprotex batting gloves are making their way into the hands of baseball and softball from the little leaguers to the big leaguers. Look for the bright yellow trademark of the AIC padding and you will find many professional baseball players stepping up to the plate wearing the Xprotex glove. Xprotex is breaking barriers using advanced materials to build protection that will provide stronger protection and more confidence in athletes…which equals better performance. We shot this in Arizona with Kaitlin Cochran, namely one of the strongest bats during her career of softball. Check out this short and sweet commercial! Also, be sure to check out their full website: http://xprotex.com/ and softball’s new blog: http://xprotexsoftball.com/
Lisette’s sister, Denise, claims Lisette was always the sweeter one growing up. And Lisette’s sweet presence lit up the room as all the girls prepared for the big day. Her friends and family were moved to tears — tears of excitement that she will soon be united with her one sweet love, Mike. These tears of excitement, however, could not compare with the tears Mike shed as he admired his gorgeous bride coming down the aisle. He fought to hold himself together, but the anticipation was too much. Mike spent the first portion of the ceremony in sniffles trying to gather himself….Was he really going to wed this stunningly beautiful bride?
In his words: ABSOLUTELY.
The vows could not come quicker for the two lovebirds and they were soon pronounced husband and wife, both anxious to begin the evening as Mr. and Mrs. The dance floor couldn’t get enough of Lisette and Mike, especially after she changed into her evening wedding gown. Still stunning, of course. It’s breathtaking to watch how much the two adored each other’s every move. They also had an original Spanish dancer performing during dinner….I don’t know, though, Mike’s flirtatious dance moves (come hither) into the camera may have been more original… (Lisette, you know what I’m talking about!) And all the while, Lisette just keeps on dancing — still wearing that sweet smile. And the debate continued today… is Lisette still the sweeter sister? Denise and I decided this is still up for debate. In either conclusion, Mike, you’re a lucky man! And Lisette, don’t deny you’re a lucky woman!
It’s not just the food that’s authentic. It’s the atmosphere. Gloria’s Cafe has made a successful effort at combining good food with good company since the early 90’s. Their menu consists of mexican and salvadoran plates, all with Gloria’s unique flair. I’ve picked up my grandma in LA and stopped in a few times for a good mexican meal (yes, I have mexican in my roots, so I can genuinely appreciate that side of rice and beans). So if you’re looking for that perfect authentic mexican restaurant, you need to stop by Gloria’s and put in your order. And in the meantime, stop by their brand new website! http://gloriascafela.com
Above is a snippet from the Class of 2010 Pacifica Mariners graduation day!! My assistant and I went out and captured the day…form the walking out in gowns to the speeches to the diplomas to the moving of the tassel from left to right. It was fantastic weather for a graduation and the day went absolutely smooth. This was quite a change of pace for me to edit a graduation dvd, but it came out great and it was fun to edit. I was able to get creative with some timelapses and slow mo to spice it up a bit. The entire DVD is 1 hour and 30 minutes, but here is a little snippet that highlights the day!

It was a beautiful day at a beautiful hidden garden in Pasadena, CA when Angie and Phil tied the knot at the Villa Del Oro. The set up was perfect, along with perfect weather. It was fun to work with my favorite Oahu/Los Angeles wedding coordinator, Melissa Laudise with LDT. I loved the dramatic, long walk the bride makes entering from the top of the building down into the garden where the ceremony is taking place…And I’m sure it’s tough anticipation for the groom! Above is Angie and Phil’s Cinematic Edit, which will serve a great purpose as much of Angie’s family were not able to make it to the US for wedding. They will have this edit to show at the reception her father is showing in Taiwan!
This weekend I went to Chicago and celebrated two of my clients, Stacey and JF. I have known Stacey’s family since I was young, so it was really fun to spend some time with the family. Like any Bachelor/Bachelorette weekend, we had events each day and the weekend flew by. Saturday, we attended the Cubs game and were able to get down on the field for photos…. We were rollin with connections! Here are some of the pics from the bride and groom to be at Wrigley Field. We are all looking forward to their upcoming weekend in September. It’ll be fun being their videographer..so stay tuned for that video! Ps. All of these photos were taken with iPhone4!
