MIKE & BRIANNA

I had so much fun editing this wedding. I got to interweave time-lapse and super 8mm into the video.
Brianna was such a wonderful bride and I really enjoyed working with her.

The wedding took place at Bates Ranch overlooking Rincon in Carpinteria. Although it rained the night before, the wind swept it all away by the wedding day.

It rained on their wedding day, but that didn't take anything away from their special day. (I think it's a lucky omen in India)

The sun even came out just in time for some sunset photos in the garden at the Cambria Pine's Lodge.

Joanna was one of the most beautiful brides I've seen with a timeless vintage look right out of the '20's. Jonathan and Joanna's wedding was an intimate gathering in Cambria, the place they first fell in love.

Memories to warm the heart

ANDREW & SERRA July 23rd 2011

On a sunny and windy day in Santa Barbara, overlooking Hendry's Beach at Ellings Park, this sweet couple got married. A modest man and a smart lady, these two were one of the cutest couples I met.

It was a pleasure capturing their thoughtfully handmade wedding. The reception was held at the Women's Club by The Mission, with a live band (Gerry Rotshchild Band) and the Santa Barbara photo booth. Nice touch.

I was excited to try my hand at  a time lapse video of the guests arriving and hope to do some more of that in the future.

Summer is coming to an end. The harvest moon is rising tonight. I hope everyone enjoys a nice meal with a loved one or friend tonight. At least that's my plan.

JENNIFER & TOM MAY 7th 2011

Last month I went down to San-Diego to film Jennifer & Tom's wedding, 

an inspiring couple, who blew me away when they sang a duet during 

their ceremony.

Here are some highlights from their wedding day. The reception was held 

at Orfila winery, quite a romantic backdrop, amongst the tangled grapevines 

and distant mountains.

I love a wedding where the bride and groom love to dance. I especially love 

a wedding where the priest loves to dance.

                               A place to get married, since 1905.

                               It is such a charming building with so much character.

                               I took these photos for Aunt Virg, 

                               flowers arranger and wedding designer extraordinaire.
