What an AMAZING day! We have been looking forward to working with Andrea and Art for quite some time! We have also been looking forward to FINALLY getting to shoot at Robert Hall Winery… the place is AWESOME! It was a perfect day to get married… and Andrea and Art couldn’t have asked for a better setting for their wedding! Big thanks to Jen and Brandon from Manuel Photography, Fancy’s Events Services, Krammer Entertainment, and Robert Hall Winery! Most of all, thanks to the Andrea and Art for putting your trust in us on your wedding day! Congrats!

We’ve been looking forward to Laurie and Johnny’s wedding day ever since their Engagement Shoot. Laurie and Johnny are so relaxed and great to work with! We also knew we would be working with a great crowd since this is the second wedding we have done for the Clerou family. We are so glad they liked us enough to hire us for a second wedding!

We where also lucky to have worked once again with a fantastic group of vendors! Special thanks to Brenna of Seven Oaks, Tim and Jennifer of Artisan Photography, Garden District Flowers, and Mark of Freestyle who is seen breakdancing in this film. We’ve said before and we’ll say it again, awesome vendors make for an awesome wedding! We appreciate everything these vendors have done to make this wedding all the more beautiful and memorable! Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Clerou!

I wish every couple we worked with could be as excited about video as Lucy and John. They made video such a priority and I think it really shows! We are so glad they put so much trust in us and let us “just do our thing”. They really are the “Ideal Client”.

Lucy and John had a beautiful wedding at the Dolphin Bay Resort and Spa in Pismo Beach, CA. It just so happened that Lucy was in the very same room as a previous bride from earlier this year. Things just really fell into place with this wedding. Big thanks goes out to Panacea for making Lucy and John’s wedding even more beautiful with their florals. Thanks to Perry from Kramer Entertainment for putting on such a great show! It has been a while since we have seen so much energy in a room! This will be a wedding we will remember for years to come!

We got off on such a great start on the morning of Bryana and Francisco’s wedding. It helps when you are getting ready at The Padre, it makes our job easier working in such a cool and unique place! Also, having a Fairy Godmother makes a big difference! Colleen and her staff did such an amazing job! It was 106 degrees, but there was an abundance of ice cold Dr. Pepper which made it a lot easier to bare. It also was nice to be close to the Kern River which seemed to make it a few degrees cooler! Interesting fact, we came to learn that the Kern River (the very same river seen in this wedding film) happens to be the 9th deadliest river in the world. Yep, the WORLD! Just thought we should pass that along.

Anyway, it was a great wedding! Bryana is so sweet and Francisco is such a nice guy! Their entire wedding party was so nice and we had shared some great laughs with their groomsmen. Congrats goes out to Bryana and Francisco!

I don’t think this film does any justice to how beautiful this wedding was! What an incredible day with incredible weather and incredible locations and an incredible couple! We had such a good time with Lynne and Jeff. It was our first time meeting Lynne and Jeff and we were not quite sure what to expect… it only took a few minutes and I knew right away what kind of wedding film was going to fit Lynne and her new husband Jeff. Just like the tempo of her film, Lynne is so upbeat, happy, excited, and full of energy! We where laughing and smiling all day to the point we where sore! These two really know how to celebrate and have a great time! Congratulations go out to the new Mr. and Mrs. Foster! Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day.

Sometimes we work with clients that, due to distance, we are not able to really meet or spend a lot of time getting to know before their wedding. Amy and Askia are from New York, which posed a challenge for us. We really like to get to know our clients so as to create something that suits their personality just right. However, In the brief time we got to spend with Amy and Askia before their wedding we knew exactly what it was we where going to do. Askia, is a really cool dude with great taste in music and we knew immediately their video would call for a very soulful song. We also knew right away that they would appreciate the artistic choices of color… or lack there of. We had a great time working with Amy and Askia! They are the nicest couple and so down to earth. We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to have worked with them on their wedding day. Congrats to Amy and Askia!

Ally and Derek’s wedding was first for many things for us at HDM. Most notably, it was the first time we had ever been to a wedding that was rained out. I think Ally and Derek took it VERY well… these two are very bright and positive people. They never showed anything other than concern for their guests when many other would have lost it. These two kept their composure and their smiles through the whole thing and we have some very beautiful footage to show for it. Anyway, during all this I had this crazy idea that I wanted to create a “Different” type of video for them… I wanted to put a spin on the traditional wedding video and have some fun. I present to you (another HDM first) the first ever Wedding Highlight REMIX! Enjoy!

p.s. Kim refers to this as a wedding video on crack… I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, you tell me!

p.p.s. If you missed their original highlights you can see that post HERE. You will see that it was indeed a beautiful wedding, even with the weather!

The Highlights of Amyand Paul’s wedding, married 6/26/10. Amy and Paul had such a beautiful wedding! The church and reception hall where gorgeous! Mark and Jared from Freestyle Entertainment did an AMAZING job (as always) on the decor lighting which made for GREAT video! Their pink uplighting was a major ingredient to one of my favorite ring shots of all time! I was SOOO stoked when I found out Amy and Paul where Ray Lamontagne fans, I couldn’t wait to put their highlight video together with one of my favorite tunes of all time! Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Caudillo!

Irma and Douglas are two of the coolest folks out there. They really know how to throw a party and have a good time. We really felt like we where guests at their wedding and not just vendors. It’s was a beautiful day and I think we really got lucky with the weather being an outdoor ceremony.

Wow! Everything fell right into place on this one! We could not have asked for a better day. Everything was so well planned and executed. It helps to have a great team! The entire Premier Event Specialists group was on board for this wedding. Oleta from Flourishing Art on florals, Freestyle Entertainment on decor lighting, entertainment, and emceeing. Artisan Photography capturing art, and of course the HDM team as well! Not to mention Brenna and her staff at Seven Oaks Country Club who all did a wonderful job!

Amanda and Brandon are such an amazing couple to work with! They both had us cracking up the entire time and the camera just LOVES Amanda! We had the pleasure of working along site Tim and Jen Culpepper of Artisan Photography, who did such an amazing job! Westlake Village Inn was gorgeous and we really could not have asked for better weather… especially in mid June! We are so glad they put their trust in us on their wedding day. Thanks and congrats go out to the new Mr. and Mrs!
