halo \\ mary ann + lester’s wedding trailer
Continuing from our last post – here’s day two of our San Diego ocean-front wedding weekend with Mary Ann and Lester. Days like this is what makes you proud to say you’re from San Diego! The day couldn’t have been any more perfect. God truly showed off his artistry that day.
They rented the entire Ocean View Villas for their reception. The place was literally on a cliff – no fences or rails stopping you from falling to the beach below. The evening reception was catered by Da Kine’s, and they even had bamboo utensils and plates! When the sun went down over the horizon, the bonfire pit and tiki torches were lit, and the festivities continued on underneath the warm summer night!
Both Lester and Mary Ann could not stop smiling the whole day.

“Beautiful” is the only way to describe Tiffany and Toan. No, she’s not a model. But she sure does look it, doesn’t she? Naturally good-looking is what these two are. I remember the photographers having such an easy time capturing their photos, and Tiffany just naturally falling into the poses, as a model would.
This day was an eventful day, to say the least. Two ceremonies at both parents’ houses (beginning at 8:00am), and the reception at the Jasmine Restaurant on Convoy that didn’t end until midnight! Whew!!

eagle ridge \\ yvonne + bill’s wedding trailerOur first wedding of 2009 was held in Gilroy, California. And what a way to start off our year than at the beautiful Eagle Ridge Resort with gorgeous, majestic views of the golf course! The trees were all reddish-brown, and leaves sprinkled across the ground from winter. It was simply breathtaking and such an intimate setting.
And for those who know of our obsession admiration of all things Apple Inc., you would understand how much we appreciated all the Apple products featured at Yvonne & Bill’s wedding – especially the rows of MacBook Photo Booth stations that took photos of each of their guests, printed out from a Polaroid printer, and placed in to their very own individual coasters. The surprise appearance of the iPhones during the ceremony was also classic! And Bill & Yvonne’s sweet dance moves, kissing games, scavenger hunt… so many favorite moments from that day!
Overall, it was a fun road trip for us, and a wonderful experience getting to film both Yvonne and Bill’s families – definitely good motivation for the rest of our year. And despite the warnings from people, the garlic smell of Gilroy was actually quite nice. :P

crush \\ vivian + richard’s wedding trailerThe day of Vivian and Richard’s wedding was probably the hottest day of the summer! So hot, in fact, that Vivian’s bridesmaid really just had to dip her feet in the pool at USD. The fans and umbrellas also seemed to be the appropriate accessory for the photo shoot.
Just as most traditional Vietnamese wedding rituals go, Richard and his family approached the bride’s house to prove his “worthiness” to her family as a husband to Vivian. And what was the final password that got him through the door? $88.88 – the number 8 being symbolic to “infinity,” I’m sure.

Bernie and Melissa’s story was a romance written on the dance floor. They met and danced together with the 220 dance group, and even had the current team perform an all out, high-powered performance during the reception. The day was an emotional beginning with an energetic end. The final DVD is going to be so much fun to watch. ;)
Congratulations Bernie and Mel!

breathless \\ kathy + rodney’s wedding trailerFrom the moment I heard this song, I just knew that I had to use it for Rodney and Kathy, so I quickly put together this wedding trailer for them.
It’s probably because of the way Kat was breathing heavily in anticipation as she walked down the aisle. Or the way Rodney seemed to be holding his breath as he watched his soon-to-be wife approach the altar. It could even be because of their concept video where they lip synced all the songs – not a breath of song heard from their voices. But in the boldest and sweetest gestures I’ve ever witnessed, Rodney went up on stage at the reception and actually began to serenade his wife… to one of the most difficult songs to sing to, might I add. She was breathless.
You just can’t help feel that way also when you see these two.

little wonders \\ linh + cang’s wedding trailerOur HD cameras had a great time at Linh & Cang’s wedding! Haha. It was so colorful!! This was our first Vietnamese wedding, and it was fun to be able to experience something different in weddings. From the little details of the bride’s dress to the ambience of the temple, we had so much footage to work with. We’re hoping to be able to experience many other different cultural weddings in our career!
Enjoy this teaser trailer from their wedding:
