Okay so I wanted to start offering these as a package upgrade but didn't have any samples because, obviously, I have never done one. So, I approached one of my September brides about doing one and she was more than willing, even though i told her it would require her to "act it up a bit". This is because I knew I wanted to do something that actually had somewhat of a plot to it rather than just "twirling eye candy". Nothing against those kinds of clips, I am going to offer them as well, but the criticism with those has always seemed to be "its great but got old after awhile" and i wanted to avoid that.
So this sample will be for those "i always wanted to be an actress" brides that I run into occasionally out here in Hollywoodland. I wanted to give them the option to do something like this that they can surprise their grooms with or just have fun with knowing that they will probably never get a chance to do something like this again.

Jeff & Linda- June 9 Hilton Torrey Pines
Truly an amazing place to have a wedding. The ceremony was outdoors in their beautiful courtyard. The symmetry of the buildings as they wrapped around the courtyard made for some really spectacular shot opportunities. It doesn't hurt when you have a really good looking couple either. :)

Jessica & Trent - The Bell Foundation
Just an incredible day. Perfect Orange County weather, outdoor ceremony at a very sweet location. Finally got to work with my buddy Gavin Holt who does both video and photography. Of course , with me doing the video,he was handling the photography on this one. Because Gavin came into it with experience behind both sides of the lenses, the collaboration was very smooth and natural which made for a very enjoyable shoot. Here is their video we showed that night at their reception on a 12ft screen.

Caohien & Endren - June 2nd Rancho Palos Verdes
Caohien & Endren are such an awesome couple and I really wanted to do a great job on their same day edit. From their traditional Tea Ceremony in the morning, to their American Ceremony in the afternoon, until their raging party at the reception, this day was just FUN. Speaking of fun, we got a chance to work with photographer Michael Norwood for the first time and that was an awesome experience. Him and his second shooter Travis are just great people. Michael has a feature that offers to his clients where he gets them his and her ipods and puts all of their pics from day on them and gives it to them at the end of the night. When he approached me and asked if I wanted to include my video from the day in their iPods, of course I was more than willing.
