Live, Love & Laugh.. Forever

Wes + Rosy

We love it when the friends of the bride & groom really express themselves during the reception.  It results in some very touching & sometimes hilarious narrative… bringing the final video alive with personality and character.  Wes and Rosy had a beautiful wedding at La Valencia in La Jolla, CA and their not so shy friends brought a lot of love and a lot of laughter to the evening.  Coordinated by Krystel of Couture Events, and photographed by the very talented Teale Photography team.

Mike + Kristina

Mike & Kristina wanted to tell their guests the story of what lead to their wedding in San Diego last month, to give them the answer to “why” they had fallen in love.  Played during their reception, there was laughter, tears, and new memories made.  And of course the ever classic line: “If i have to put the toilet seat down a few more times to be with the woman i love.. so be it.”  Shot on location in San Clemente, CA

The First Time I Met Her…

Joseph + Clarissa

Last Friday we enjoyed shooting the wedding of Clarissa & Joseph at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park, San Diego.  Since they had decided to get married in the MOPA theater they came to us for a short film that could be played on the theater screen just before they walked down they isle.  We really had a great time shooting this short love story and we must admit, it was pretty cool to see it on the big screen…

Sweet Romance

Scott + Kelsey

The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego… the perfect setting for a sweet romantic May wedding.  This couple was super fun… Scott was especially fond of the camera and Kelsey was just plain stunning!  Watching them you knew this was a couple that loved their friends, loved their family, and loved to laugh.  All these elements brought a very special carefree happy feeling to their San Diego wedding.  Expertly coordinated by Stacie Barba of A Day of Elegance, florals by Linda Brown, and photos by Heather Vallentyne of Vallentyne Photography – one of our favorite San Diego photographers.  A special thanks to the inn for the late night cookies and cappuccinos!

A Love Note…

“It is a consensus- everyone who has viewed our wedding video agrees that you truly captured the mood, lighting, details, and people that made the affair so special.  We were BLOWN AWAY by the finished product!!!  During filming, we hardly even knew you were there.  You have a great eye for angles, lighting, and editing.  The music was PERFECT!  We have watched the video 5 times already because we love it so much!!  You did truly spectacular work, and it was a pleasure working with you from start to finish.  It is wonderful to have memories of our wedding day captured with such style- we will most certainly enjoy it for years to come.”

Happy Ever After

Michael + Trisha

Captured in Hi Definition.  Merilee Hennings of Ever After Events coordinated the wedding of Michael and Trisha at the Estancia Hotel in La Jolla.  Everything was done beautifully. Even an unexpected rain storm did not mar the day.   From the stunning florals done by Annette Gomez to the swank music of Wayne Foster it was an evening to remember.  We really enjoyed working with photographer Dean Barker in capturing this event as well.
