peter + kendra - la venta

Peter and Kendra are an awesome couple. So sweet and full of life. They were surrounded by their very loving family and friends in the intimate and beautiful setting that La Venta provides. I was very happy about the reaction I got with their clip!

matt + wende- tustin ranch wedding

I met this couple at Jessica and Trent's wedding last year. I showed the Cinema Reale and immediately after Wende came up and asked me for my card. (She then asked me for it throughout the night at least 3 more times) Matt might have asked for it as well had he not been busy doing the best Vanilla Ice impersonation ever. (better than Vanilla himself)
I guess what I am trying to say is that this is just a special couple. So full of life and love for each other and their families. (And their 12 bridesmaids!) They were very excited about their cinema reale and that always pumps me up and makes me want to do the best job ever. The day was filled with a lot of laughter and emotion which makes my job a lot easier. It's set to Mark Cohn's classic.."True Companion".

roy + janet-wedding at culver studios

A very unique wedding to say the least. It was held at the Culver Studios which among things, is famous for being the place where they filmed the epic movie Gone With the Wind. It is also currently the place where they tape the show Deal or No Deal. Needless to say, there were some opportunities for some unique footage. And Janet, the gorgeous bride, looked like she walked off the set with her classic hairstyle and gorgeous dress.


After much deliberation, the groom and I decided on Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know"

warren + jerrica- wedding ritz carlton dana point

After two weeks off from shooting weddings, I was very anxious to get going again. So what better way to get back into swing of things than having a wonderful couple such as this, at a beautiful venue, and a perfect SoCal day? I also got to work finally work with Cathy Cheng from C3 weddings. I have know her for a couple years but have never worked with her. She was truly a pleasure to work with and was VERY patient with me while I finished this one. (I have new cameras and a new tapeless workflow that i am still working out the kinks with!) That meant a lot as i was kinda stressed!

Warren & Jerrica left it up to me to choose the music so I used The Fray's " Look After You" which , with a little serendipity, happened to work perfectly for the days events. The song's chorus says "oh ..Be my baby" and when they had their first sight she said.."Hey baby" which I timed with the music. (Love when that stuff happens!)

chris + andrea - wedding surf & sand laguna beach

What a weekend! Another beautiful SoCal day at the beach..right? Well..it started out that way! (More on that later) I was very excited to do this wedding because Chris and Andrea wanted to use INXS' "Not Enough Time" and being a child of the 80's I more than obliged!

Much like Saturday's wedding, the weather started out windy but gorgeous. However, right as the ceremony began, the rain started to fall hard. However, despite the conditions, Chris and Andrea and the wedding party were up the task and went through with it like troopers! I think it ended up adding to the emotion of the song.

I also got the priviledge of working with Jennifer Johnson from OC's Finest Weddings. She was wonderful to work with and I was very thankful to her and her crew for their patience while i worked on this edit.

New Article in Event DV Magazine

I was one of the first in the industry to start using 35mm adapters for weddings because i wanted to get that elusive film look for my productions. They are starting to become more common place so Event DV magazine asked me to write about article about it.  You can read about it here.  (NOTE: it is more of a technical article but the reason I post it is because you may recognize some of the stills used in the article!) 

New Cinema Reale site goes LIVE!!!

I am very pleased to announce that my new site for my Cinema Reale's is now up and running! I am so excited to get everything else done for my main site as well, but until then, check out this site for an idea for the new style and let me know what you think.  

To my former couples, the clips at the bottom will be rotated frequently, so if you don't see yours down there..it will be up in the rotation soon. If you are reading this and havent written a short testimonial yet, I would appreciate one asap so I can add it to your clip. :)

greg + marian -the riviera country club

An incredible day! Greg and Marian are such a fun-loving couple. Marian was so unbelievably relaxed and was the one who was having to tell everyone else to mellow out! They had a Catholic Ceremony at Saint Martin of Tours, and then had a traditional Korean Pae Baek ceremony afterwards.

Also got to work with Me Ra Koh and her hubby Brian. Fabulous couple to work along side. I always love when I get hooked up with photogs like this.

Bride left it up to me to choose the song I wanted to use. I went with James Blunt's "High". Enjoy.

michael + chantal-turnip rose

So, feeling inspired by my trip to Orlando, I was very anxious to shoot this wedding and it did not disappoint. The weather held up for most of the day and I was able to get some great shots. Got to work with my buddy Jim Kennedy again which is always nice. Great guy who does phenomenal work.

A beautiful couple inside and out, Chantal and Michael were truly a pleasure to be around on their wedding day. This was a couple who was truly excited about getting married and it showed in the various smiles, laughs and tears that we captured. Cinema Reale got a great reaction..one of the best we have had in awhile. The song is slow but very sweet, Amel Larrieux's "Make Me Whole".
