Weddings in the age of COVID have been challenging. This bride and groom decided to push forward anyway and go for a smaller more intimate wedding which really paid off. We felt lucky to be able to capture their day and then turn around the wedding highlights video the next day for everyone to see who could not attend. Of course, filming a wedding video at the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla is always a treat and did not disappoint. It’s charm and beauty is never lost on us. What a fun day!


We were lucky enough to spend 3 days with this adventurous couple documenting their fabulous wedding in La Jolla. From filming their love story to kayaking with the guys in La Jolla Cove and brunch at the Brockton Villa Restaurant with the girls it was so much fun to capture more of the whole wedding experience. (Most weddings are actually a multi-day event when you consider rehearsal dinners and all the other activities with friends and family.) La Jolla itself holds a lot of history for Melanie which made things extra special. Having seen picturesque weddings unfold at the La Valencia Hotel in her younger years it was kind of a dream come true to have her’s there as well. Capturing their story was so much fun. Working with the some amazing vendors like the always fun and creative team from Sara France and Co. and planner extraordinaire Cynthia Zatkin Events made the whole experience unforgettable. Congratulations Melanie and Dan!
