| Check out this amazing wedding!! The combination of Christopher Aldama's stunning design, Jeannie from Details Details' fabulous coordination, and the beautiful venue of Pelican Hill made this event over the top gorgeous! And i'm a little bit biased because I LOVED the colors!! Everything about this wedding was super cool. Just wait until the full Arthouse is edited because we couldn't fit in all the shots of the details in this SDE! There were too many!
Megan and Kyle were super fun to work with! Megan's hair was gorgeous and was done by the fabulously talented Eric Bilardi. The couple had a really fun day and we even had a few moments to skip down to the beach for some amazing shots. We shot with our good friend Victor Sizemore and assisting him were our friends from Cincinnati: Kortnee & Ted. After the SDE was shown on plasma screens, we moved into the After Party which also had killer decor. I'm sure Victor will post the photos soon on his blog. Wait till you see them! The couple truly enjoyed themselves the whole day and were just so happy to be married. It was quite moving! All in all it was a fabulous day with a fabulous couple. Congrats you two!!

| Today marks something new for the Elysium blog! We are going to be highlighting our lovely couples as guest bloggers. Tune in to hear what they have to say about their wedding and the planning process - and of course watch the video!
Our first entry is Susan and Paul who hired us to document their gorgeous "winter wonderland" themed wedding in January. They are so sweet and we loved working with them and their fabulous photographer Jessica Strickland! Here's what Susan had to say when I asked her some questions: How did you meet? Paul and I met through the intervention of my Maid of Honor, Megan Okuley. She was Paul's co-worker and arranged for a group lunch date at Penn Station. Although we were both a little shy, we agreed to meet up one more time for a more traditional date and the rest is history... What was your favorite part about planning your wedding? My favorite part about planning our wedding was watching my dream/vision become a reality. It was amazing to see my winter wonderland come to life just as I had imagined. How did you pick your venue Considering the wonderland theme, we knew we wanted to get married in the heart of winter. Because Indiana's weather is very unpredictable, we thought it would be best to have our wedding at a hotel so no one had to drive once they arrived. We chose the Conrad because of its modern feel and reputation for paying attention to detail. The staff was phenomenal and always there to get us whatever we needed. From speaking with the Conrad and our wonderful event planner Casey Scott, we knew they would stop at nothing to turn my vision into a reality. What kind of personal touches did you add to your event? We had custom made fortune cookies (Paul used a fortune cookie during his proposal), the trees were white to fit with the winter wonderland theme, baseball cuff links for Paul and a club DJ. We just tried to incorporate as many personal touches as possible to make the wedding unique to us. What was the best decision you made during the planning process? Casey Scott! He was amazing, understanding, exuberant and an excellent listener. I don't know what we would have done with out him... I probably would have turned into bridezilla! Thanks Casey! What are your favorite memories from your wedding Everything was so amazing, but taking pictures on the roof of the Conrad was really memorable. It also made us feel really special that so many family and friends were able to travel and be with us on our big day. What advice can you give to other brides? Allow others to help. It will alleviate so much pressure and allow you to do what is most important... enjoy one of the most important and memorable days of your life!

| ok... so I don't normally do this! I edited a quick recap of this wedding we shot on Tuesday at the Palmilla in Cabo. I had a day off after shooting four days in a row in three different cities (and two countries LOL) and was very restless. I also arrived at the airport yesterday 5 HOURS EARLY (long story) and without internet there, I had to entertain myself. Since we shot the wedding on the EX1's the footage was easily accessible. I grabbed the CD that Michel & Jay had put in our really cool welcome bag and picked a song from there. This definitely is just a summary AND a quick edit - so much more to this wedding - it was such a great day! Just wanted to share this real fast :) We shot with Victor Sizemore. Check out the shots on his blog!

| Wow... what a crazy week! I wanted to blog a video before we extend the craziness into the weekend when we will be filming a couple of wedding and then jetting off to Cabo on Monday for another wedding. So here goes:
Frances & Andy were married at another gorgeous venue and one of our very favorites in the L.A. area... Trump National Golf Club. The view at this location is INSANE! We were able to work with the crew at Apertura - check out the beautiful photos on their blog. Frances & Andy have a mutual interest in cars... Ferrari's in particular and there were several parked outside. Needless to say I parked my car far away to avoid the Ferrari's being jealous of my fancy wheels (NOT!) The wedding was beautiful and Ada Chan from Ada Chan helped to pull it all together. Congrats guys! Elysium Productions: Contemporary & Stylish Wedding Video in Orange County & Beyond! |

| Check out Christine & Andrew's Same Day Edit from San Diego! It threatened to rain on Saturday... really weird S. California weather if I do say so myself! But luckily it held off and the happy couple were able to have their reception at the beautiful Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park. Their ceremony took place at the Immaculata... one of the most beautiful Catholic Churches in San Diego (it's on the USD campus). Before that, Alex shot thier traditional tea ceremony. It was a long day but we captured some amazing footage! We shot alongside Victor Sizemore (he'll post pics soon on his blog) and Michelle from Details Details was there to coordinate everything - I especially love the unique dance floor that was provided! Kathy Wright & Co. did the floral decor and it was gorgeous. To add to the already fantastic day, Jeff Holmes from Moondance was there to spin the tunes... he always gets the party going! Congrats Christine & Andrew!
as always... it's best to press play and then immediately press pause to allow the video to load before viewing! Elysium Productions: Contemporary & Stylish Wedding Video in Orange County & Beyond! |
