Michelle & Lance Wedding Highlights – Maui, Hawaii

admin — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:09:22 +0000

Aloha!! Michelle and Lance had planned the ultimate destination dream wedding. We were of course thrilled to be a part of it all. ) The ceremony & reception was located on a beach front plantation type area called “Olowalu Plantation House”, it is a rustic style plantation house surrounded by lush greenery, water rushing over rock and sand, lit tiki tourches surrounding with the heart beat of the ocean alive with life just steps away. Michelle & Lance had most of their guest’s flown in from all parts of the U.S. as well as the U.K. I am sure it was a real treat for all who attended. Michelle and Lance had planned out a whole week of activities. Michelle & Lance’s getting ready was at the Olowalu Plantation house as well as the ceremony & small dinner reception. Then off to club Tima nightclub to cap off their reception celebration in style! Non stop partying!! The next day we met up to do their couples beach photo shoot / trash the dress session which was soooo amazing. Michelle’s dress had even seen some ocean action the day before with the bridal party photos but that was just a small taste! :o) This is probably the longest highlights we have ever produced but you will definitely see why!

Michelle & Lance, You guys were so much fun to work with and we thank you for sharing a chapter in your lives as well as all those unforgettable moments and memories you have given us. We can’t wait to see you guys again soon! Hugs J&N.

Jenna & Brian Wedding Highlights – Rancho Santa fe

admin — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 12:57:33 +0000

Jenna & Brian were such a sweet and heart warming couple to work with. I never had the opportunity to meet and get to know Brian before hand but right away we clicked and we were able to catch some really magical moments

between him and Jenna. Jenna was one of our special brides who inquired about 10/10/10, sadly enough we were double booked so she ended up changing her date so she could hire us to film her special day! We were very glad she did!

After speaking to Jenna we knew we were going to be in for a real treat! Every detail was well thought out and there were so many!! Jenna knew everything she wanted and what it would take to make it all work, she would make the perfect wedding coordinator quite honestly! Everything was so PERFECT!

On a side note, calling this a fairytale wedding just does not do it justice! Anyone who is event the least bit sentimental will definitely shed some tears when watching this video. I know we did! )

Diane & Ramon Engagement Session Shoot

admin — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 09:19:47 +0000

We had such a great time working with Diane & Ramon on their engagement shoot. Amazingly the water was not freezing cold for a typical evening in April, but it was cold enough to deter the average person for sure! We can’t thank them enough for going along with all our ideas in efforts to create this beautiful video! This is an example of our much requested engagement type shoots we offer.

Sarah & Pejman Wedding Highlights – Toronto, Canada

admin — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 20:08:10 +0000

Sarah & Pejman are two of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet! Full of energy & zest!! Their wedding plans demanded nothing less! They had a few different plans and venue ideas for their wedding day but then decided that Toronto Canada would be their stage for their wedding celebration. It was a fun adventure getting there for us, multiple flights and a scenic car ride through the small towns and then into the city. It was certainly unforgettable! Sarah & Pejman made sure everything, down to every little detail was perfect as you will see in the video. We can’t THANK YOU enough guys!! It was a blast, it was one of those action packed days that when it is over you just can’t imagine you lived so much life and did so much in that one day. Very surreal reliving it through this video! It was simply put AMAZING, and even that doesn’t give enough credit! ) Love you guys!!! N&J.

Liza & Roger Wedding Highlights – Del Mar

admin — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 08:33:32 +0000

This was such a gorgeous & fun wedding with two very special people who really have touched and inspired many people throughout their lives. You could just see it all day long. We felt like we were filming a wedding for two big Hollywood movie stars! Definitely a very exciting day with many funny moments! The Getting ready took place at Rogers private estate in Rancho Santa Fe, there we did a small photo shoot of his exotic sports cars.The ceremony & reception was held at L’Auberge in Del mar overlooking the ocean. The ceremony had some hilarious twist’s & turns ,one with Roger presenting his new bride with the large 450 carat candy Ring pop! I think it is now named the star of Africa III. ) There was so much great dance moments during the reception I thought I was on the show, “So you think you can dance”. This wedding was certainly one we will not soon forget! It was so great to work with many of our vendor Fave’s that day, shout out once again to Stan & Jeannette of Trailbrook Photography!
