Kelly & Daerick // Fire Garden Wedding Film // 8.1.2015

Wow! We were so lucky to be part of Kelly and Daerick's special day! It was like a destination wedding - taking place at The Fire Garden in Bonsall. There were family and friends, amazing musicians, performances, fire on the dance floor, fire in the trees, an after party and an ice cream truck! When you watch the video you'll see even more! The party went so late that many of the guests just set up their tents and spent the night! It was a unique location for this kilt wearing clan!

Judy and Pablo's Wedding Film // Terranea in Rancho Palos Verdes

Judy and Pablo are a remarkable couple and their day was epic! Judy told us from the beginning that there would be 2 ceremonies on her wedding day. They would start with a traditional Catholic one and then move on to a fun whimsical one, that would be performed at Terranea. A reception would follow. How did it turn out? Well, you will have to watch and see! Be sure to check out Judy and Pablo's tango- personally we think they're ready for Dancing With The Stars! On a serious note though, they truly were meant for each other- so much that their wedding gifts to each other were almost identical! Judy wrote Pablo love letters for a few weeks before the wedding and also gave him some of their older ones from anniversaries and important times. Pablo's gift was just as cool. It turns out that he had kept notes he wrote to Judy for an Advent Calendar for Christmas, then had them framed! So long story short, they both gave each other love letters. Now, they have their happily ever after- the wedding film, the ultimate love letter! ;-) Congrats once again Judy and Pablo!!

We loved getting to know Maureen and Neil! We have a past with their family, since we created the wedding video for Jed and Jennifer back in 2008!

They got ready at the Hilton Universal City, the ceremony took place at Saint Charles Borromeo North Hollywood, and the reception was back at the Hilton! The church was huge and gorgeous - just about the right size for the gigantic bridal party! 

Enjoy this emotional and flowing wedding film, they are amazing!

Alyse and David // Omni Los Angeles and St. Anthony's Croation Church Wedding Film

A perfect Southern California summer day, with a side of rain! Alyse met with us over a year ago, she had seen a friend’s wedding film that we captured, and she knew she wanted the same thing for her wedding day. David wanted whatever made Alyse happy, hence they booked us. Ever since that day, the spunk and fun that this couple shares gives us goosebumps. They fit so well together and love so real, it’s epic! What none of us expected was a rainstorm in July, especially since California is in full scale drought mode. But we can only conclude that their match must have inspired some tears of joy from above and that the rain was a result of that! ;-) 

They began getting ready in downtown LA at the Omni Hotel, then headed to St. Anthony’s Croatian Catholic Church, were the reception would also be held. Talk about wow, their Priest was phenomenal, although a Croatian Church- he did some of the mass in Italian for Alyse’s side of the family- talk about talent! Then there was his singing- well let’s just say we might as well have been in Rome! But the fun didn’t stop there, the reception was a blast. As the rain poured down in buckets, we partied the night away with fun and love and some really good Croatian food, talk about yum! ;-)

Everything was amazing, check out the film we were inspired to make! Once again, congrats Alyse and David!!
