glenn + jenn - the ritz carlton pasadena (the new Langham) wedding

Infernal temperatures aside, I had a real fun time shooting this one! (It was like 110 during the ceremony..causing one of the bridesmaids to almost faint. I felt like I might be going down with her!) Highlight of the night was watching them perform their first dance with their bridal party! The gorgeous bride is an accomplished ballroom dancer and they choreographed this absolutely amazing dance to "Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing Soundtrack. It was truly incredible and had the house rocking! I'll try and post the full thing later on, but for now you'll just get a taste of it in their Cinema Reale.

Glenn & Jennifer are a total sweetheart couple and were so incredibly gracious to everyone.

They asked me to use the duet with Nicole Kidman and Ewan MacGregor from Moulan Rouge for their clip. I have to admit, at first I was not too happy about the thought of using that song. I have always thought it was a little too over-the-top for my tastes. However, their couldn't have been a better song to go with the footage of the day as it came together quite nicely. It was shown on two 12 screens to accommodate the large number of guests.

The creative groom Glenn did their photo montage so I came up with a novel way of transitioning from slideshow to Cinema Reale. The clip starts with the end of the slideshow for reference. :)
