Melissa + Douglas // Santa Monica + Marina del Rey Wedding Highlights

Melissa and Doug had a wedding we can all love! David went to film school with Doug and he is one of our film editors! A wedding from the family! We think that the song we used for the structure of the highlight really embodies the feelings of the day and how these two people who are truly supportive care about one another. We started off at the Marina del Rey Marriott. Then we headed off to the First United Methodist Church in Santa Monica and ended up on the roof of the Marriott for a crazy sunset reception.

Enjoy!

Jennifer + David // June 5, 2010 // Westlake Village Highlights

Jennifer has got to be the most glowing bride EVER! So much laughter, smiling and crying – all because of David! Take a journey through this great day at the Four Seasons Westlake Village. I can’t say enough about the kind and gracious planning of The Wedding Connection by Tobey Dodge. Photography was done by the very talented Sterling Tyler Photography. He is the photographer to have if you want a Ryan Phillippe look-a-like at your wedding :-) Check out the highlight reel >>>>

Elena + Rigo // Engagement Session

Check out this awesome engagement shoot we filmed with Elena and Rigo, in Long Beach! They had gone on several dates by the pier during their courtship, so it was a perfect place to snap some shots off. It was also overcast and a bit nippy, which is unusual for us Californians in June (except June Gloom or something)! Despite the chill in the air, we were able to get great dramatic shots… see for yourself in the pictures bellow!

July 14, 2010 - 8:47 am Elena - Wow! They are amazing pictures. Can't stop looking at them. It was a fun engagement photo session. Thanks again and see you for the wedding!
