A highlights reel of weddings form 2009.  What a great year! These wedding took place at such places as La Jolla Cove Suites, Twin Oaks House, Loew’s Coronado Resort, The Cravens Estate and the Temecula Creek Inn amongst others.

We had a great time filming Lindsay and Steve’s wedding. Steve’s friends and family from the East Coast were a riot of fist pumping energy and fun. One of the best moments has got to be the ring being tossed from the pews (and caught, thankfully) during the ceremony. Nice catch Mike!

Kyle and Brooke had a beautifully authentic, country wedding in Julian, Ca, at Brooke’s parent’s horse ranch. The deep blue skies and golden, oak-spotted hills were a refreshing change of pace. Friends and family all pitched in to put together a very unique and personalized wedding. Kyle, being a firefighter, and an all around great guy, managed to pull off 2 fire engine chauffeurs that delivered the whole wedding party to the reception. What a blast!

Ingrid and Tony’s wedding was flawless and fun. They chose a gorgeous location overlooking Dana Point Harbor and Catalina Island for their hotel and reception at Cannon’s Seafood Grill. The view reminded me why we endure the traffic and frustrations of life in this amazing state. JNP Studios were simply awesome to shoot with. Jeff is a creative powerhouse with his photography and very innovative with his technique. Great Wedding!

Anna and Ryan had a very memorable wedding at the Omni Hotel in San Diego. Not only did Ryan score a home run at Petco Park, (see the video for proof), but held his own, speaking Russian at the reception, which to my ear is no small feet. I have yet to see a couple with so much energy, passion and enthusiasm for their photography, which always makes for a great wedding video. A truly international crowd, their guests hailed from places as far away as Russia, Australia and South Africa. But what was perhaps most inspiring was the intimacy and heart felt vows their wonderful Rabbi, David Kornberg read during the ceremony. Bravo guys! What a fabulous wedding!

Matt and Kelli brought their own unique style and charms to what was a very fun wedding. To top it off they served a delicious buffet of catered Mexican food, which I have to say is a nice break from the usual wedding fair. Karen and her crack team at the The Twin Oaks House and Gardens were everywhere and nowhere at the same time (I swear she hires ninjas). She does a phenomenal job keeping everything running on time and works tirelessly to add new features to her unique venue. I had the opportunity to work with Alex Slattery Photography for the first time. We got along famously and worked well together which is always a good thing for videographers and photographers.
