sishir + kristi - the berkeley

Kristi and Sishir are warm, genuine, sweet people. It was such a blast to be around them and their wonderful families and friends. They were both so relaxed and seemed to be soaking in every moment. I love shooting couples like this. It definitely makes my job so much easier.

For their Cinema Reale, we went with a couple of beautiful instrumentals.

johnny + elicia - casa romantica

Elicia and Johnny are very sweet couple and very much loved by their family and friends. There was a lot of emotion at this wedding with some of the most heartfelt toasts I have ever heard given by their bridal party and families.

This clip is somewhat unique because they wanted Big & Rich's "Lost in This Moment" as their song but they also wanted to do some special voice overs for each other to be played back for their Cinema Reale. We decided to use some instrumental for the beginning with their recorded sentiments and then go into the song.

To end this special night, the bride and groom drove off on a Harley complete with his and her custom helmets!

josh + delinda - museum of art

Josh & Delinda are unique. From the brides pics in her dress and soccer cleats to the groom's and groomsmen's brown converse, this was just a different wedding...and I mean that in a good way. It was just a breath of fresh air. They are such a fun-loving couple and were just a pleasure to work with. Got a chance to work with my good friend Jay Reilly which is always treat. Great guy and incredible photographer.

Ivy's "Edge of the Ocean" was the perfect song to encapsulate this day.

My First Super8 Clip

I bought a Super8 cam awhile ago and was dying to try it out at a wedding as I am going to start offering it as an add-on to my current services. So when one of my old friends approached me about shooting his wedding which was going to have a "1940's vibe to it" I thought it was the perfect candidate to try out my new (old) cam.

Nick and Liz are a fabulous couple who are very much in love and it showed throughout the day. Here is a little footage shot in Super8 and digitized.

freddie + alicia - newport marriott

Okay, I am going to have a tough time coming up with enough superlatives to describe this couple and their wedding. Simply put, Freddie and Alicia are just incredible people. From day one, they treated me, not as a vendor, but as their friend. So it is very easy to see why they had so many friends and family out at their wedding supporting them and cheering them on. They are special people.

They came to me after seeing what I did for their friends Billie and Kimmie a couple years ago and wanted to not only do a same day edit but also a funny concept video. They came up with some great ideas for what they wanted to do and we finally settled on a "mock Survivor" type thing. We all had a blasting shooting this video in May with all of their bridal party and screened it at their reception prior to their being announced for the first time. The crowd loved it!

And here is their Cinema Reale' complete with excerpts from one of the best first dances I have ever seen!:



Thank you to Freddie and Alicia for being truly one of the best couples I have ever had the pleasure of shooting!

chris + natalie - turnip rose

You guys might recognize the bride Natalie as the model for my First Bridal Music Video so I was excited to finally shoot her wedding. She is beautiful girl and of course made a beautiful bride. The Turnip Rose is a perfect setting for a wedding and allowed us to get some very cool creative angles for the video. Got a chance to work with Jim Kennedy for the first time. Him and his second shooter Morgan were a lot of fun to be around and shoot with.
