Vintage-style Highlights of Mimi and Tom’s wedding. Ceremony was at Santa Clara Mission and reception was at San Jose City Hall Rotunda.

We’ll also be posting a few gorgeous photos taken by world renowned photographer (and rebel with a camera/all-around nice guy) Gene Higa (www.genehiga.com) from this wedding very shortly…stay tuned!

Leilani + Michael | Day of Video
Okay…this was by far one of the most fun weddings we’ve done. Besides the gorgeous venue (Palm Events Center) and decor, we got a chance to meet an incredible group of people, most importantly: our bride and groom, Leilani and Michael, who made our day so enjoyable with their warm and fun-loving personalities. In addition, we got a chance to work with our wonderful friend and photographer-extraordinaire, Gene Higa (www.genehiga.com). When I first met Gene a few years back, I, immediately, was amazed at his work and mastery of the lens (who isn’t?). So, as soon as I was able to find a way to put some nice 35mm lens on my camera, I was off to see if I can get the same gorgeous shots that I saw from Gene’s camera – but with a cinematic twist of course. Obviously, that’s easier said than done given Gene’s one-of-a-kind talents. But the 35mm lens used for Leilani and Michael’s “Day-Of-Video” gave us some incredible shots and we were thrilled to use any and all that we could get our salivating hands on. The results…well…check it out!!
Joe + Nary | Soul Mates
Joe and Nary’s wedding was shot at St. Marks Church, then to Stanford University for some fun and group shots, and then over to the Mayflower Restaurant for the reception coverage. If you’ll noticed, for the prep coverage, we tested out our new gadget (a 35mm adapter) that allowed us to get the really nice shots of Nary “in focus” but the background being nicely out of focus. We thought the shots came out fantastic…don’t you think? Hope you enjoy it!

Joel + Jasmin | Wedding on Rollercoaster
They say marriage can be a bumpy ride but after knowing Joel and Jasmin, I know they can ride those twists and turns of life just fine…not to mention a twirling rollercoaster! We recently shot their wedding at the famous Bonfante Gardens (now called Gilroy Gardens) and have such wonderful memories of the whole event. Here’s a quick highlight of their wedding day to show you how much fun we…err…they had.

Josh + Jodi | Devotion
A fresh and lively collection of video and sounds bites that capture the energy and emotion of the day. Josh and Jodi are two fun yet down to earth individuals and we had such a blast filming their wedding. Hope you enjoy the footage.
Mai + Tim | Romantic Hybrid
When Mai first came to us, she said she wanted something unique for her video. After talking out the details and learning more about her vision, I convinced her with my idea to go with an engagement video shoot and then we mix the footage into her highlights for some dramatic footage. She agreed. We shot the engagement video piece at Hakone Gardens and some at Hotel Valencia. The result was something truly unique.
The wedding day was absolutely gorgeous and whom better to capture every detail on photos than our very own and beloved friends and talented photographers, Hy Studio. (www.hystudio.com). Enjoy!
Wedding First Dances (with a twist)!
Through the years, we’ve seen many different types of weddings…fun, formal, elegant, spontaneous. But as with most weddings, the planning process may seem such a stressful ordeal that the thought of having some fun on your wedding day often gets tossed out. Well…despite the relative craziness of such a notion… it can be done…with a little planning. The following couples (found on youTube) decided to add a few ”extra” personal touches to their wedding. Hope they give some inspiration for you to add a little “twist” to your wedding planning ;). And if the thought of doing something like this causes beads of sweat to collect on your palms and forhead, then just remember…there’s nothing a couple of drinks can’t fix. My wish is for you to have fun no matter what!
