Love, Life and Children

It is amazing how many of our couples have had children in the last year or are expecting! The list just keeps on growing as their families are expanding! It’s great to take full advantage of your marriage :-) Just yesterday we got an email from one of our favorite couples who got married March 3, 2007 – they had their first child and are working on the nursery.

One of our most exiting babies is Konstandinos, who was baptized just 1 year after his parents’ wedding! Check this out:

Here was the wedding video, May 11, 2008:

Here was their son’s baptism video, May 17, 2009:

Very Fun Passionate Photo Session!

It was hot out, it will be obvious from the waving fans and programs – but those visual nuances add such motion and interest! Starting out with their kiss, we move to our steadicam filled recessional and photo session, along with some great time lapses. See if you can see David walking around!

May 8, 2010 // Genevieve and Daniel // Old Ranch Country Club

Genevieve and Daniel are two special people. They got married at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach. We love Genevieve, as you will see in this highlight reel – her smiles and poses are right out of Vouge! Then with Daniel, he easily could be on the cover of GQ. They both worked for UPS and met each other there. Obviously, taking the phrase “What can brown do for you?”, it certainly did something for them!

Lovable Vendors:

Xuong (Song) www.happyphotos.com, from Happy Photos did an amazing job as always! He’s always getting great shots and on last Saturday, it was no different!

May 2, 2010 // Bettyann + Fred // Pelican Hill

This was a fabulous wedding! We got the privilege of working with Bettyann and Fred! They truly are an amazing couple. We had filmed Bettyann’s son Ajay’s wedding a few years back. Some of you may remember Ajay and Christine. It was exciting to see them again, since they are expecting their firstborn, a girl, in September! Needless to say everyone in this family is blessed and there was so much love – it was awesome. Pelican Hill in Newport Coast was pretty great as well.

Lovable Vendors:

Gail Garceau (ggweddings.com), the coordinator and she did a fabulous job – we can’t say enough good things about her!

Doug Gifford (www.douggiffordphoto.com), the photographer. Not only did he get great shots of Bettyann and Fred, but he’s photographed Roy Disney’s Boat- which we thought was an interesting side note!

James Loram of Last Dance (www.lastdance.net). As always a great DJ is key to the success of any party and James didn’t disappoint!
