Wedding at Cicada Downtown Los Angeles and First Congregational Church of Los Angeles-Daniel + Mina


When shooting church weddings throughout Southern California we often are given a long list of very strict rules for this and that in regards to our camera placement, movement, etc. Well, let me say I now have my long awaited favorite church to shoot at which allows us to pretty much shoot anywhere and move about within reason.
The First Congregational Church of Los Angeles is an absolute beautiful church in every way. It was our first time shooting here. This church has been the backdrop for many Hollywood Movies such as Along Came Polly with Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller.
The reception was held at another very cool location...Cicada in downtown Los Angeles. This venue has also been the backdrop for many movies, TV shows, commercials and Red Carpet Events.
Here's a music video of Daniel and Mina's wedding day.

Wedding at Presbyterian Church of the Master and El Adobe De Capistrano: Andrew + Kym
Let me start by stating this wedding film was shot entirely by one cameraman (me). It goes to show that you do not need a crew of videographers in order to produce to a beautiful film although it is certainly a big challenge to shoot alone.
Andrew and Kym are high school sweethearts who have known each other since the 4th grade in elementary school. Kym, being a wedding planner...I knew this event would be well coordinated which it was.
This film has lots of natural audio from the vows and toasts mixed to a nice selection of music choosing by the bride and groom. The clip in the front with the groom and groomsmen, although looks staged was totally random and from the hip. It's rare that I get anyone interested in talking to the camera the way they did but these guys were down with being "on cam".
The ceremony took place at The Presbyterian Church of the Master in Mission Viejo, Ca. and the reception was hosted at El Adobe De Capistrano in San Juan Capistrano, Ca.
It was a pleasure working with wedding photographer Trista Lerit again. We have worked together several times and our candid style of shooting blends so well. Some photos of the vent can be seen here.
Joe Paxton of Atmosphere Entertainment took care of the music and reception lighting.

Adamson House Wedding Video+Malibu California+Stefani and Jason
When I looked at my schedule prior to this Malibu Beach wedding and saw that I would be working with an entourage of very cool wedding professionals I was even more stoked to be shooting Stefani and Jason's wedding. As cool as all of my clients are, getting to work with great vendors makes all the difference in the world.
We couldn't have asked for better conditions. A mid September day, perfect temperature, a stones throw from Malibu Beach and one awesome venue to shoot at.
Malibu's Adamson House was the set for this beautiful wedding. Since I did not meet Stefani and Jason prior to their wedding day I really didn't know much about them. During their vows (which they wrote themselves) I had the chance to hear a little back story of how they met and how long they have been together...btw over a decade, which was awesome to hear.
This wedding was coordinated by one of my favorite wedding and event planners on the planet: Paola from Just Chic Events. We have worked together many times and every single event is always extraordinary.
The photographer was Ryan Jones of RCJones Photography in Fresno. Let me say, Ryan has a great eye for capturing an image. I love his sense of style and I'd like to add he is very candid when shooting and cool and humble guy. Although he is based in Fresno, he often shoots Los Angeles and Orange County Weddings...certainly worth checking out if you are in need of a photographer. Some images from this wedding can be seen here.
Another fabulous wedding professional this day was Sherry McAlly from On Location Beauty. I think I have shot about 40 weddings where Sherry was the make up artists, she rocks and never disappoints!
Edge Entertainment took care of entertaining the guests all night long.
Here's a teaser of what the day looked like through my lens.

Wedding at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church - Ryan + Liza
Again, I got to work with one of my all time favorite DJ's in the world..."Devon" from Invisible Touch DJ's. At one point, Devon had about 250 guests dancing at the same time. I can honestly say that is a huge feat for any wedding DJ. I had a lot of fun shooting this wedding with my 2nd shooter Drew. The colors in this film have been desaturated hence the muted look.

Turnip Rose-Grand Newport Plaza Wedding + Kathy and Sam
Kathy and Sam have a little one on the way so I want to give a big congratulations to them.
The Turnip Rose at Grand Newport Plaza is a fantastic venue to host your wedding. I have shot here several times with more to follow this year. The architecture is beautiful so there is more than enough photo/video opportunities and you can have your ceremony and reception all in one location with no long walks from one space to the other. The staff from Turnip Rose catering are fantastic and the "on site" coordinator is always accommodating.

Steel Drum Band-Panjive

A couple months ago I shot a wedding in Long Beach and for the first time I had the pleasure of working with the steel drum band Panjive. I have shot a lot of bands over the years with very, very few worth mentioning in my opinion, but Panjive were all that and much more. All the guys in the band are super cool, friendly as can be and extremely talented. There is no doubt they set the tone for the event. Their music is fun and festive....and if you close your eyes while hearing them play you would swear Bob Marley was in the house.
On Panjive's website are some sample songs to check out, I don't think there is any singing in the samples but they definitely sing while playing and their vocals are on it!
Here is an excerpt from their website that gives a little insight on who Panjive is:
PANJIVE steel drum & Calypso Band is an intoxicating blend of Calypso, Reggae, and Contemporary music that always incorporates the unique island sounds of the "Steel Drum".
Caribbean steel drum rhythms native to Trinidad and Jamaica are fused by the band to create beautiful background steel drum music for your wedding or corporate event, or create an upbeat fun-filled show with their tropical music that never fails to excite an audience!
PANJIVE is comprised of young, professional musicians who are punctual, and friendly, offering a unique listening experience that is exciting, up-lifting, and memorable.
Regardless of the size of your event, PANJIVE can cater to your particular entertainment needs by offering everything from a "Solo" Steel Drummer to a full 5 - Piece band with vocals. So when it comes time to think "Island Music" or "Caribbean" theme, think PANJIVE!
...now go check em' out.

Reception at The InterContinental Hotel Century City, Jack + Angeline
Cool music, lots of dancing and this reception possesses an awesome display of lighting for ambiance. I cannot emphasize enough how "LED" up lighting, pin spots, gobos, intelligent lights, etc. make a difference for a party...in this case a wedding reception.
As a Los Angeles Wedding videographer, I can honestly say that this room would have looked like a square box with no atmosphere at all without the use of decorative reception lighting as seen in this clip. When you book a hotel banquet room or most any other reception site, they generally only provide the overhead lights built into the space, and IMO they just don't cut the mustard. This is why I made it a point to write about reception lighting.
Pin spots accent the beautiful centerpieces that took you countless time in designing, often time without the use of pin spots...those centerpieces get lost in the background.
So, for anyone considering up lights, gobos, pin spots, etc...if it fits into your budget, DO IT! You will not regret it.
The "best man" at the wedding got a lot of screen time during this reception clip, can you figure out who he is?
I think he should give Dancing With The Stars a shot in the future, he would tear it up;)
Brady at PropsFX was the DJ/Emcee and lighting vendor for this reception but I would also like to plug my friend Jack at The Music Man Productions who offers this style lighting packages for events and wedding receptions as well.

Wedding Video at Spanish Hills Country Club and Our Lady Of The Assumption, Zach + Jessica
This wedding was shot entirely by one videographer...me, although I am usually shooting with at least one other videographer.
For couples who plan to see each other prior to their ceremony a.k.a. [first look], this video is a prime example of how intimate and sweet one can be.
The ceremony took place at Our Lady Of The Assumption in Ventura CA. and the reception was hosted at Spanish Hills Country Club in Camarillo CA.
This was my first time working with the talented Sara K Chen photographer, she was extremely considerate of my candid shooting style which I truly appreciated. Photos from the day can be seen here. Kerrie Underhill from Platinum Weddings by Kerrie coordinated the event. Kerrie is one of the most detailed and dedicated wedding coordinators I have ever worked with...her clients are very fortunate to have her.

Athenaeum Wedding Video in Pasadena California + Adam and Aviva
I love shooting at The Athenaeum but if you are considering having your reception in one of their two ballrooms, I highly recommend purchasing a lighting package with up lights, gobos, etc. Without the use decorative-ambient reception lighting the space inside is very dark.
If you plan to shoot photos around the campus you will need a permit to do so. I think the permit is around $200.00.

Wedding Reception Lighting for Ambience
Having shot at hundreds of venues in California and abroad I have seen modest venues look gorgeous with lighting implemented, and I have seen the most expensive venues look dark and cold due to the overhead "in house" lights or lack of lighting all together.
So, where do you find a reputable and reliable lighting company? Having worked with Jack Hou at The Music Man Productions many times in the past, I can say that he is well worth considering to set the atmosphere for the biggest party you will ever host!

Los Angeles Wedding Film/ LA River Center Wedding Video + Ted and Cindy
I love shooting at The LA River Center. There is always more than enough space to maneuver around without getting in the way and the venue can accommodate very large guest counts. It's also a venue with a lot of character. It's hard to believe this little gem is surrounded by urban Los Angeles and a major freeway.
