Palos Verdes Wedding Videographers / John + Angela / Feature Film / Trump National Golf Course

Friday, June 25, 2010

I remember meeting Angela and her sweet mom at a bridal show years ago. Actually, I met them at like 5 bridal shows! Angela and her mom were bridal show junkies. I really love the entire process we go through with our couples. The initial meetings, talking through all their details and desires for their wedding, the filming, the editing, the tears, the joys! We get to be a part of it all!  I still can’t believe that we get to be an intimate part of our couples wedding day. It really is an amazing job and responsibility we have.

John and Angelas wedding was super beautiful up at the Trump National Golf Course! They were such a high energy couple! If nothing else you got see John’s little fire fighter dance at 6:40 in the video. There is always a first for everything I guess! Here is a bit of Angela’s thoughts on Marriage!
Enjoy,
BP

Q + A WITH JOHN AND ANGELA

Q. WHAT’S THE FUNNIEST THING ABOUT BEING MARRIED?
That he does almost all of the cooking and cleaning!!!

Q. WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU TELL A COUPLE PLANNING THEIR WEDDING?
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Something will most likely go wrong and there is nothing you can do about it. Enjoy everything else that is going right.

Q. WHAT WAS THE HARDEST PART ABOUT PLANNING A WEDDING?
All the small details that have to be done at the last minute such as seating charts, programs and name cards…

Q. IN A FEW WORDS, SHARE WITH FUTURE NEWLYWEDS SOME MARRIAGE WISDOM?
Go to bed mad! Some people just need some time to cool off and sleep it off so you don’t get in a knock down, drag out fight.

Q. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY?
Walking back down the aisle and seeing all of the smiling faces of our family and friends. Getting that first glance of the reception room and seeing all of the planning all come together. The garter toss where John came out in his turnout pants dancing like a stripper! Never getting off the dance floor.

Q. WHAT WAS THE STORY OF THE PROPOSAL?
It was Christmas time and we were working completely opposite schedules for work. We planned an “After Christmas” day to spend with each other and John planned massages and dinner at Trump National. As we took a walk around the golf course at sunset, John got down on knee and popped the question. Our whole families were watching from the restaurant and we all had a great celebration. Then we were off to a gondola ride under the stars.

Q. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING MARRIED?
Having your best friend there to share everything with. The good times, the hard times and everything in between. It’s facing the world hand in hand an knowing we can get through anything as long as we have each other.

Kitty + Pack // Wedding Teaser // E.Session

Q + A WITH KITTY AND PACK

Q. HOW DID YOU GUYS MEET?
I met him through my friend at a gay bar! Yeah you heard it “Gay Bar,”  hahaha I am lucky he is not gay.

Q. WHAT WAS THE STORY OF THE PROPOSAL?
It was Valentine’s Day 2009. We didn’t have any plan’s to go out, so I told him we should go to a spa retreat and he agreed. While I enjoyed my massage I heard someone say “anything to drink?” I thought that would be good so I nodded my head, but wait, the voice sounds so familiar. I got up and he said “coffee, tea, or me” with the ring in front of me. I was so happy. We were happy!

Q. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING MARRIED?
Love:)We have the same goals in life, all the way down to smallest things and we always help each other out. He always make me laugh and makes life fun and interesting. She is good at using humor to cheer me up!

Q. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO HIRE A VIDEOGRAPHER?
We designed to have a videographer on our big day because we knew that we would be missing from those frozen moments of the wedding and videography has given the opportunity to have created a memoir of our wedding, complete with all sights and sounds of that most important event in our lives, a memory which can be revisited for years to come!

KITTY AND PACK’S E.SESSION

There is always a first time for anything right? Well, there was 3 things unique to Pack and Kittys wedding that we have never done before. 1) Kitty’s Bridal prep was at 4:45 in the morning! Whewww.. 2) We got to film in a Beautiful Monk Temple 3) Got to film an e-Session in Thai. Yep, no english at all. How did we do it you might ask? Well, Kitty and Pack came over to our studios and helped us organize it and make sure that what they were saying on film was OK with the world!

I have to say, during their reception, I was not quite sure what to expect as I felt that during their interviews they were pretty straight faced and calm but once the video started and their story came on, everyone was crazking up and really, really enjoying the video. Ahhh.. I guess these guys said all kinds of funny stuff, but being it was in Thai, how was I supposed to know what was going on..

Hope you enjoy!!

Orange County Wedding Videography // Mark + Diana // Feature Film // Embassy Suites

Saturday, June 5, 2010

OK, Mark and Diana are crazy cool! What a blast! This was the most high energy wedding I have ever been to! Everything from their HUGE bridal party (I think they had 10-12 on each side) to their Grand Entrance dance routine. Their HUGE limo to their Amazing family and friends. Also, one of the coolest speeches from a Father to a Daughter. If you watch this video till the very end, you will see that Diana was barley able to speak her vows to her new hubby. It was quite an emotional moment. WOW!!

MARK AND DIANA’S SAME DAY EDIT

Q + A WITH MARK AND DIANA

Q. WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU TELL A COUPLE PLANNING THEIR WEDDING?
A. Make sure to not argue over little things during the planning. It’s already stressful planning everything, so why make things worse.

Q. HOW DID YOU GUYS MEET?
A. We met at a Club Rain in Vegas through mutual friends. We partied and danced night away. We never would have know that we would meet the love of our life in Vegas..

Q. HOW LONG DID YOU DATE BEFORE YOU GOT ENGAGED AND HOW LONG WERE YOU ENGAGED FOR?
A. We dated for 2.5 years before we were engaged. The planning took almost 1.5 years.

Q. WHAT WAS THE STORY OF THE PROPOSAL?
A. I always told Diana I’d paint her something but she didn’t believe I had the talent. She was right, I don’t. But I have friends who are great artists. So I asked one of my friends to paint a cartoon picture of a guy on one knee proposing to a girl. So when I gave her the picture, it took her a minute or two to figure out that I was about to pop the question. Her reaction was classic!

Q. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO HIRE A VIDEOGRAPHER?
A. They say that a picture can capture a thousand words, but a video can capture the exact words and the emotions tied with it.

Q. WHAT ONE DETAIL ARE YOU GLAD THE VIDEOGRAPHER CAPTURED?
A. It was great to capture moments where everyone at the party was dancing and having fun. Because we are so caught up with so many things that day, we don’t have the time to see everything that is going on around us.

GIANCARLO AND ANGELA’S FEATURE FILM 

 GIANCARLO AND ANGELA’S MOVIE TRAILER

Ahh… Another Beautiful Wedding and a super cool couple. Giancarlo was cracking e up all day with his Ball and Chain. Out off all the weddings we have filmed, I have never seen such a thing. Their Ceremony and reception was at a cool private venue called the Hacienda in Santa Ana. I like filming in places like this because there are sooooo many new things around every corner. Here is a little Q & A from Giancarlo and Angela.

Q + A WITH GIANCARLO AND ANGELA

Q. WHAT WAS THE STORY OF THE PROPOSAL?
A. Gian and I were in Cancun for our 7th anniversary and it was the last day of our vacation. I came down with some severe bronchitis and was sick as a DOG so right before we were going to check out of the hotel, i was laying on the couch feeling miserably sick. Gian handed me the ring box and said “do you want it or not?” Gian INSISTS that i ruined all his big romantic plans for the proposal when i got sick, so he had to come up with plan b…. nice plan b huh?

Q. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO HIRE A VIDEOGRAPHER?
A. We wanted to capture our day candidly and also be able to see everything that was going on. The day passes by so fast, it’s a blur. Now looking back on photos and the trailer, we get to see more of what was going on.

Q. WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU TELL A COUPLE PLANNING THEIR WEDDING?
A.  Do it the way that YOU BOTH want to do it. Don’t worry about the in-laws or picky friends,  your wedding is your day, don’t give in to others, or else you might have regrets!

Q. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING MARRIED?
A. Gian says the tax return! LOL….
