martin + khay- photography and video wedding from crowne plaza redondo beach

Well you can add Martin & Khay to my huge and ever growing list of most awesome couples ever. :) They are such sweet and warm people and I could not wait to be a part of their wedding after meeting them and getting to know them. Martin's two kids Sascha & Alex are two of the sweetest young people you could ever meet. I first met them at their eSession and had such a blast working with them. They are such outgoing kids with personalities well beyond their years. I just knew I had to work them into the Cinema Reale so I asked them to say something to Martin & Khay to give the video a personal touch. i swear those kids just blew me away with their choice of words!

Martin & Khay put their trust in me in music choices so I decided to use Keane's "On a Day like Today" which turned out to be a perfect fit!

Here is their Cinema Reale with some teaser pics soon to follow!

jennifer mae & chris - Buerge Chapel at Aldersgate Retreat & Cultural Center in Pacific Palisades - My company featured on CNN/ABC!

Okay, this has to be one of the most unique weddings ever. You see, Jennifer & Chris are actually videographers who own and run their very own company in LA. Why would I be posting about them? Well, I actually had the privilege of shooting their wedding last week. But that is not what makes it so unique. What makes it so different is that whole wedding was done by bartering. The couple used their connections in the industry to trade with other vendors for their services. At first I was a little skeptical, after all, I had never even met this couple and they were getting married in a couple weeks. However, after talking with Jennifer Mae several times on the phone, I started to feel at ease with everything. And of course knowing that Ric Romero of Channel 7 ABC News was going to be doing a segment on this wedding didn't hurt! As soon as I hear anything about when the story on ABC is going to run, I will post about it. CNN.com also did a story on it and I was mentioned in it so in the mean time, you can see it HERE.

Got the pleasure of working alongside Mars and Nancy from LA based Flowers on Mars who took care of the flowers. They are an incredible event design company capable of taking care of a multiple amount of event needs. Check them out!

Chris Erickson and the rest of the staff at Buerge Chapel at Aldersgate Retreat & Cultural Center in Pacific Palisades were so incredibly accommodating to me and my crew. I really love that place and look forward to shooting there again!
