Last weekend we were so blessed to film the wedding of Reed and Ella at the Trump National Golf Course. Ella is a true performer, singer, actress and dancer and Reed is a very happy man! I wanted to share her most recent music video with everyone – she wrote this song for him….
Take a look at this clip from Darick and Nori’s wedding! It is part of Nori’s time getting ready in her bridal suite. This gorgeous wedding took place at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel , where the sky and clouds have this special way of popping with color. The skies are a unique kind of blue in South Orange County! The coordinator was Wendy Dahl.
This a highlight reel from Christabelle and Lou’s wedding. They started out at the Hyatt Regency in Long Beach, went on to St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, went to the Rainbow Lagoon Lighthouse for photos and then back to the Long Beach Hyatt Regency. They were a referral from Rica and Ryan, who’s wedding we did in 2005. They were surrounded by friends who really care about them – I think you can see it in this video!
Prepare to see something amazing when you watch this Highlight Reel! It is how your video will look when you order our Storytelling Style videos. For those of you who want something that is concise, dramatic, emotional and moving, you may want to look into this type of production. Call or email us for an appointment!

This is a montage to the song Forever by Chris Brown, which is amazing and has tons of energy! This short section of Alvin and Ann Marie’s video uses a form of parallel editing to go between the bridal party’s photo session and some dancing! All happening at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach.
This clip is from the beginning of a Catholic ceremony. They are singing our favorite song, Simple Gifts. That was a great way to start off a mass! The group is the Paulist Choristers.
I was listening to the Joseph Campbell DVD Mythos while I was editing last night and as he started talking about the Left and Right Hand Paths and the myths that go with each, I did a little search for more information. It seemed like most of the things that Kelsey and I have gone through in making our company were laid out directly on Campbell’s Left Hand Path
It seems hard to remember, especially when people are feeling down in times like these, but our myths aren’t just there so stories can be written using their framework and convention. They aren’t there just for entertainment and movies like Star Wars, they exist in all of our minds and are archetypes because we are supposed to use their ideas to live our lives.
The myths about the Right Hand Path are about how to live in society, how to get along with others, the ways to fit in and create a sense of community. The Left Hand Path, however, is the one that most of the amazing stories are about, the ones that capture our imagination. People who go out on their own, confront challenges, aren’t taken seriously, but have a strong belief in themselves. Not surprisingly, the heros in our own world follow the exact same chronology of life events as Frodo or Luke Skywalker. Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Mark Cuban, my buddy Lakshmi Mittal, just about everyone follows the same path. As I thought about this I found a great website which outlines the events in an entrepreneur’s life and how it relates to the ordeals that the hero must go through on his journey, which is in Campbell’s book Hero With a Thousand Faces. It was pretty cool to see this structured and in writing!
Starting a business in a recession might be the perfect option for a lot of people. Companies aren’t expanding into new markets, thus leaving room if you want to sneak into a niche somewhere. In fact, most are retreating into little protective shells so they can stay in business. If you have lost your job, have some savings and have an idea about what you can do to improve the world, maybe you should consider taking the Left Hand Path and starting your own company! If you do, here is what you can expect!

Hello everyone! We have been deep in editing mode, spending all of our time in dark caves as we prepare for the Spring and the exciting new wedding season! We have been contacted by many brides and grooms getting married here, so just for you, this was our most recent wedding at the Gardens!
This is a classic toast that any Maid of Honor can use at their next wedding! Since we all treat our pets better than our spouses, we might as well treat them like a dog!
This cute child had some serious dance training before this wedding! He was fun to work with all day, and may times said, “Get that camera out of my face!”
