See them do the mash potato, the twist….do you like it like this?” Dancing and doing the twist was not the only twist this wedding day. Yep, you read that right, Denise and Dennis it did become a tongue twister all day…Denise, I mean Dennis…Dennis, I mean Denise….from the photographers to the toasts, this happened all day! Well, its not only their name that is similar, they also both similarly love to dance! This is the first time we shot a “Wedding Music Video,” and we didn’t have much time to shoot it, but we pulled it off. We mixed in some filming in between formal portraits. For the editing, we mixed in the dancing and the formals and called it a music video…that’s right their very own music video. The song they chose is the old school Do You Love Me? song from (the best movie ever), Dirty Dancing. The next video is their Highlight section – from the Creatively Classic package. Their wedding turned out to be a soft, beautiful summer wedding in Pasadena, held at a superb place, the Ambassador Mansion and Gardens. Denise and Dennis truly display their love through laughter and friendship, making it so refreshing to shoot them all day. Enjoy their wedding videos below!
We took a fun trip to Austin, Texas back in September for Mollie and Michael’s wedding. It was a hot, and of course, humid day in Austin, but still a great day for a wedding. Oh wait, one thing….Mollie and Mike had planned their wedding date around the UT Football schedule. After the invites went out, the UT vs. Texas Tech game got moved to September 19th, their wedding day…ouch! At one point in the reception, it was all women as all the men were in the bar watching the football game! Their wedding decor consisted of burnt orange accents with much love for the Longhorns! Above are the highlight from their day.
The photo on the dvd cover was taken by the fabulous Melissa Glynn, http://www.melissaglynn.com/.
That’s right…the “Trash the Dress” themed photogshooutout video is finally edited! This shootout took place at Bella Colina Golf Course in San Clemente, CA. It was one of the first winter days in California, but the weather made a great match to the gloomy Trash the Dress bridal theme! Make sure you watch until about 1:20 for the hottest gory shots from the day.

Here’s the Classic Edit of the Highlights from David and Mary’s amazing Egyptian wedding! The bridal preparation and formal portraits took place at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, and then we headed over to St. Mary Church in Los Angeles for a long and beautiful Egyptian Orthodox wedding. After the ceremony, we headed back to the Langham hotel, where the families enjoyed many hours of eating and dancing and eating and dancing. I always love editing these types of weddings because the reception is filled with so much celebration. Check out their amazing day!
Big family, great food, fun dancing, and most importantly love made Maram and Shadi’s amazing Greek wedding a beautiful event. We started the day with videographers split up at the bride and groom’s separate getting ready locations, where each family went through their traditions. We then headed to St. Nectarios Greek Orthodox Church in Covina for the ceremony and then to the Diamond Bar Center in Diamond Bar for the reception. The highlight has a lot of fun footage, and I especially enjoy the second half with the Greek music…Check it out!
This was a beautiful ceremony at one of the most prestige churches in Southern California, the Crystal Cathedral. Dr. Robert H. Schuller, one of the most well-known ministers in the United States, performed the ceremony as his grandson, Jason Coleman was the groom. Annie and Jason said their vows in the gorgeous cathedral, with an outside reception that was gorgeously pink! Also, enjoy a personally performed song by Jason’s brother from the ceremony…it is very heart-warming! There are many wonderful moments with great expressions in this video!
Marisa and Eric were surrounded by family and friends, who gathered at the Maravilla Gardens, an amazing and beautiful property in Camarillo, CA. It was a gorgeous Sunday outside and its so great to watch everyone around you enjoying every little moment. The day consisted of a wonderfully written ceremony and a fun-filled reception. Check out their special details, toasts, personal story, and more in this video… The timing of this edit comes as a special memory. This post is written with a heavy heart as I know Eric’s family is going through a devastating loss. I sincerely hope this video can serve not only as Marisa and Eric’s treasure of their day, but also as wonderful memories for their family. Take a peak at their Cinematic Edit…its well worth watching! Congratulations Marisa and Eric…hope to see you soon! Click here to see their DVD Cover.
