daniel + rosanne/roxanne - hotel del coronado wedding

Slacking on my blogging last week! This wedding was actually last Saturday but I had such a busy week I couldnt get to it so I am going to try and give you guys a double dose in the next couple days. :)


Another incredibly awesome day with the same crew as a couple weeks ago with Victoria and her fine crew at Coronado Weddings coordinating and Paul Barnett took care of the photography.

A different sort of beginning and ending to this one. The groom is German so I started the video with a little German song the groomsmen were signing to the groom prior to the wedding. I have no idea what they are saying but it sounded cool so I started the video with it. ( For all I know it could be sining about the grooms pending "death" ;) )

While I was working on an ending for the video, photogs Paul and Dean alerted me to a cool shot they got of the couple at the beach when they had the whole party jump up in the air so i ended the video with it.

jenny + adam - pga west wedding palm springs

I thoroughly enjoyed this wedding! It was a Sunday wedding in Palm Springs so I decided to take a lil mini-vacation with the family and get there Saturday to hang out. The weather was perfect on Saturday at about 80 degrees with a breeze.

However, Sunday started off overcast, rainy and very windy. We were all very bummed because the wedding was to be held outdoors right on the course and was possibly going to be moved indoors. Well, it ended up clearing up and the wind died down just in time for ceremony start and it ended being a wonderful day.

I got a chance to work with PGA West coordinator Aleta Bateman and she was so awesome! They really took care of us there and I look forward to shooting there again!

Also worked for the first time with photogs Shannon Wilsey and her hubby David and really had a great time with them. We chatted the whole day about family and the state of our industry and it was just really a smooth, fun day.

Adam wanted to go with Led Zeppelin's classic "Thank You" which, even though I had used it before, is a true classic love song that I never mind editing to. They both spoke personal vows at their ceremony that I worked into the clip.

theo & eric - us grant hotel wedding

I have done a lot of weddings where the bride and groom came from different cultures but what an interesting experience this wedding was. The bride is Greek and the groom is from the midwest so you had too very different cultures coming together.

Another incredibly smooth day orchestrated by Victoria Schroeder and her fine crew at Coronado Weddings. Super-stud Paul Barnett took care of the photography and comic relief. (dude has some issues with bright lights!) He was a blast and keep everyone loose (and in the dark)

Bride wanted me to use Patty Griffin's "Heavenly Day" and it perfectly fit because it was about 75 degrees with a slight breeze.
