I love this movie! Suzanna was the most excited bride ever. I could have filled up 10 minutes of video with just clips of her saying so herself. Her overwhelming joy for the day made it so easy to capture great moments. What a trooper too! We hiked to the top of a hill, in the dirt, her and Seth were all for it. High heels and all! The day was absolutely beautiful. The house, my goodness, was gorgeous! Seth & Suzanna + their family and friends were so much fun and so kind! Suzanna, I love your mother! Thank you Seth & Suzanna.
We had the blessed opportunity to travel to Rosarito, Mexico to capture this beautiful wedding. That day was gorgeous and the setting was insane! Set upon a cliff, overlooking the Ocean in front of Ana's aunt's apartment. Ana & Marcel are so incredibly sweet & their heart for the LORD shines through their eyes. I absolutely love being a part of something that God has brought together. Ana & Marcel, we pray the LORD's blessing upon your marriage as you start your new life together. Felicidades! Los queremos mucho!
Rebecca & Doug are awesome! Rebecca's laugh makes you want to laugh and her sweetness is towards everybody. Doug is so laid back and rolls with anything. It was so nice to get away up to San Francisco for the weekend and spend the day with this lovely couple. I had such a wonderful time at this wedding and meeting the entire family. Rebecca's Mother is so full of love for these two and you can see the sparkle of joy in Doug's Mother's eyes. I hope you all truly enjoy this movie!
The other day I got my new 35mm lens adapter for my camera. Pretty stoked on that! For those of you who do not know what a 35mm lens adapter is, it is an adapter that I can put on my HD video camera that allows me to use 35mm SLR lenses. It gives that Shallow DOF (Blurred background) that cinema lenses and SLR cameras get. I wanted to go test it out but didn't really know what to shoot. While flipping through the internet I came across a vintage Diór commercial and got super inspired to shoot my amazingly beautiful wife, who should be in one of these commercials herself I think. So being the best wife in the world, trooper that she is, hater of being in front of the camera, we decided to go to a near by place that I had in mind. It's the only place in Costa Mesa that has nature! It was cold and windy, but we had a great time. At least I did. According to the movie, she looks like she had a good time. Obviously this piece is super close to my heart. I love my Wife more than anything and being able to make a movie of her that will last the rest of our life is something I've wanted to do since I met her. She inspires me in ways I can't explain. She supports me just the same.
I had a great time shooting this promo for the SoCal Photog Shootout in Pasadena, CA. There were 7+ professional photographers leading different teams throughout the day; a lot of running around from team to team. This promo will be going on the Photog Shootout website. Make sure you check them out and book a spot when they come to your town.
I had such a wonderful day of shooting at Rancho Las Lomas. RLL is an amazingly beautiful ranch in Santiago Canyon, Southern California. What could be cooler than a wedding with Tigers, Zebras, and Alpacas? Another amazing winter weekend in California, 80 Degrees!
Hope you all enjoy their movie!
Special thanks to Adam Pasion for giving us his music for this movie. Also, to Jesi Haack for hooking me up with this wedding. She's a guru!
I had the pleasure of being able to capture some footage from Elisa & Mauricio's wedding a few weeks ago in Cuernavaca, Mexico. I put together this highlight movie for you all to enjoy the beauty and elegance of this vintage style wedding. Cuernavaca is "The City of The Eternal Spring". This town is absolutely beautiful and we had such a great time being there. My Wife was in the wedding so I decided to bring the camera along and shoot a little. The wedding took place at the Bride's family weekend home away from Mexico City. This property is way cool! I wish you could have all experienced it. This was my first "Mexican" wedding, besides my own, (kinda), and let me tell you IT. WAS. AWESOME! Everyone stayed on the dance floor until 3:30am. Around 1:30am the caterers brought out breakfast for all the guests that consisted of Chilaquiles and a short espresso. DELICIOUS! For those of you who do not know what Chilaquiles are, they are breakfast nachos! and those were the best ones I've ever had!
So, I put together this highlight movie for you all to watch and I really hope you like it. Like I said, the wedding was very Classy & Vintage so I wanted to make a movie that reflected it's style and taste. I processed this movie to look like 8mm film, but still with 16:9 aspect ratio. The music is the Bride's Grandmother, Monna Bell, who was a major Latin icon in the late 50's, 60's, & 70's for her Swinging Jazz & Blues songs. This song we feel goes great with the tone & beauty of the movie, and we thought it perfect for Elisa & Mauricio's movie to feature a song by her Grandmother. We love you guys and wish you all the best!
