Jensen and Brittain are two wonderful people, that happened to fall in love with each other during their college years at USC! Hence, you’ll notice the airplane in the sky with the congratulatory “Fight On” mantra! Their wedding took place at a private residence in La Canada, which was a picture perfect spot for a 200 guest wedding! We even got a little rain for good luck and to freshen the centerpiece flowers. It was a lot of fun! Check it out…

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

David Pluskat — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:12:46 +0000

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!

David Pluskat — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 06:36:52 +0000

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!

Malinda and Aaron // May 1, 2010 // Palomar Hotel + Sinai Temple Highlights

David Pluskat — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 08:16:13 +0000

Aaron and Malinda had a glorious wedding day! They are so perfect for each other and so in love, we were amazed every second we were with them and their families. We started at the Palomar Hotel on Wilshire, headed to a great park in Beverly Hills and over to the Sinai Temple on Wilshire.

The ceremony had a great surprise – a wall that rises to reveal Malinda as she started down the aisle. Of course we love white dance floors, those are classy – so we loved the reception!

Thanks to one of the greatest photographers, Samuel Lippke for doing a killer job photographing the wedding!
