Monsignor Lloyd Torgerson

Here is our favorite priest from Saint Monica’s church in Santa Monica, California. It was great to see him come out of church and have fun delivering this message to a bride and groom at Trump. It is an Indian story about a man being chased by a tiger and falling into a well with snakes at the bottom. Should he worry that he is about to die, or should he just eat a fruit hanging from the cliff wall…

For anyone looking for a church, Saint Monica’s is great and Monsignor Lloyd Torgerson is the best Catholic speaker we have seen. He has a strong presence, very empowering messages and brings a lot to a wedding. He was just at the funeral for Eunice Kennedy Shriver, and he was great friend of Ted Kennedy.

Billy + Ivy // 5.23.2009

We had the awesome pleasure of filming Billy and Ivy’s wedding this past May! They started at the Langham in Pasadena , then moving onto their church and finally the reception was held at the fabulous Marriott Laguna Cliffs in Dana Point! It was a beautiful day for a wedding, despite a little bit of Memorial Weekend traffic. Everything turned out just the way they had always planned, which is what we always want for our clients! Congratulations Billy and Ivy!

A Twist on Karaoke

The Belamar Hotel, a fashionable Manhattan Beach Wedding Highlight Reel

This was a great morning and afternoon wedding in Manhattan Beach last year. They met online, were living in two different states across the country, and in a whirlwind of a romance, they planned this incredible event!

Impromptu First Dance

At the Hotel Belamar in Manhattan Beach, Natalie and Erik decided to leave the hustle and bustle of their afternoon wedding for some alone time dancing, cuddling and kissing in the privacy of the car park!

It is always calm in Central Park

I have this picture next to my desk that I took last time I was in New York. It is very serene, very calm…NOT LIKE ALL THE ACTIVITY GOING ON RIGHT NOW!!!!

We were part of three great weddings last weekend, which we will have highlights ready soon! We are editing, having tons of meetings and getting ready for next weekend’s weddings! We are also looking forward to all of the creative couples in September, we are going to have another great month.

Cheers,

Roxana + Cesar // 3.7.2009

This is a highlight reel from a wedding we did a few months ago. We had the honor of creating a video for one of the bridesmaids and groomsmen a few years ago, so seeing them out of their dress and tuxedo was totally fun!

We started out at Heritage Park in Santa Fe Springs and then moved to their church in Downey. This church has some great ministers, we love working with them all!

Congratulations!

Beth + Lisa // 8.16.2009 // Preview

We just wanted to share another awesome wedding we had this past Sunday with Beth and Lisa! It’s an great story of finding true love and honoring their Judaic heritage with a remarkable ceremony! Not to mention the reception that took place in the old Redondo Beach Library. It was a blast… for them and us! Their photography was done by Chou Photography.

Congratulations Kristin and Mark!
