Birds of a Feather | Sunset Cliffs Inspiration Shoot

Wed, May 16 2012 12:34 | Permalink



We're beyond delighted to see our favorite inspiration shoot from 2011 published on Ceremony Magazine's blog! We had such a blast with some of our favorite vendors. Here's what Jen or JenLikes had to say about it in Ceremony Magazine:



Jennifer Nesovic, the event designer behind this concept, weaves the story behind this delightful photo shoot. “Birds of a Feather …Flock Together” Four friends dreaming of their wedding come together in this adorable inspiration shoot full of whimsy. Our “Birds” arrived piled in a Mini Cooper like a clown car, each in a gorgeous dress unique in its own way. Each lovely bird was embellished with feathery handcrafted delights in their hair. A young guitarist strummed along while they entered the delightful seaside escape. A lovely table was set with gorgeous flowers, vintage china, sweets, cake and “magic” tea. On this beautiful sunny day the waves rolled in and crashed against the sea cliffs with a roar. The spray misted over the gorgeous white leather tufted furnishings while the Persian carpet and vintage bobbles glistened in the sun. Seagulls hovered overhead while our own “Bird Brides,” each with their own bouquets, merrily whispered and explored the cliffs. They brandished antique crocheted parasols as they dreamed of the day that they would marry.”

Have a look and be inspired:

Some weddings are just perfect, and this one has everything you could ever ask for: heart, humor, romance, family, love....and did I mention humor?

Kristen & Kurt had the perfect day. I have so much that I want to share from this wedding, because their unedited footage made me cry, and then laugh so hard that I cried again. The toasts are hilarious and heartfelt. Their highlight recap is one of my favorites. BUT, most of all I want to share the out-take reel that we made as a surprise to them! Most weddings just aren't this funny. First, their actual wedding highlight:

If you haven't had enough of this wedding yet (because I haven't), here's their reaction to the reception ballroom at Scripps Seaside Forum designed by Brenda Swann of Swann Soirees:

SD Wedding Party Bridal Show 2012

Mon, Apr 30 2012 10:35 | Permalink
From the important wedding dress to the color of the flowers--nothing must go wrong on your wedding day. That's why brides-to-be attend bridal shows, bazaars and conventions: to perfect their day.

A few weeks ago, we attended the SD Wedding Party Bridal Show at the Omni Hotel in San Diego and sure enough we saw beautiful booths, caught a glimpse of the fashion show, said hello to friendly exhibitors of ours, showcased BHVP and gave advice to those getting married soon!

Check out the video from the event! Cool time-lapse feature, interviews from vendors (us included), fashion show, floral ideas for your wedding and more:

As always, it was a pleasure to share in all the excitement and connect with those looking for a photographer or videographer for their wedding day. Thanks for having us, SD Wedding Party Bridal Show!

A Tradition of Video

Mon, Mar 12 2012 11:00 | Permalink
In 1993 we videotaped a Bar Mitzvah for a lovely family. In 2007 that Bar Mitzvah boy got married! Luckily, his bride loved our work and hired us on for their wedding. Two years ago they welcomed a son into their family as well.

This year, David’s wife, Inna, had the idea to create a Bar Mitzvah highlight for David’s birthday. So, we had the pleasure of working with them yet again!

David’s Bar Mitzvah and wedding were so filled with joy and love. It certainly wasn’t difficult to see how much they love each other and how much their family loves them. It gives us a great deal of pride to know that Inna & David’s son will be fortunate enough to enjoy seeing his parents, grandparents and great grandparents on video. They won’t be always be here and having their voices and expressions preserved on video will be truly priceless.

Thank you Inna and David for trusting us with your memories for the 19 years (and counting). Happy Birthday David!
