Barbara and Wayne - Legion of honor - San Francisco

With the year winding down, so do videos.
Wayne and Barbara contacted me through their wedding coordinator Patty Lee of 8 events. I have worked several time with Patty and it's always a pleasure to have a true event planner professional working with the vendors and the couple to make sure everything goes without a problem. If you are on the verge of hiring one, please definitely consider it as it makes everyone's life easy.
On that note Barbara and Wayne both live on the other side of the Globe in Shanghai to be precise, so meeting was not an option. But through constant communication, I was able to have a good picture of this great couple and their elaborate wedding at Legion of Honor. So when I met them on the day of, I felt like I already knew them. I knew they had put a lot of thoughts in every little detail and I wanted to make sure that their film encompass all of these to really let their personality shine.
On top of that their officiant was their close friend so it made the ceremony even ore special.
I hope you enjoy their recap.




I would like to give a special shutout to Henry Kim with Big Fun DJ, as well as F.C Wong who was their photographer and capture the day beautifully.

Alfa and Tony - Same Day Edit - Redwood City, CA

Saturday I had the honor of filming Alfa and Tony's wedding. It was a really great wedding with loving family and friends sharing their happiness. I met Alfa and Tony back in January at the Pacific Athletic Club open house, and right off the bat we connected. We spent quite a time chatting on that day, so when they reached out to me to film their wedding I was ecstatic.
To top it off they decided to hire my good friend and amazing make up artist Rona Basa. It's always great to work with great professionals, and it's even better when you work with friends. 
One excited feature of their package was that they decided to do a same day edit. Now the jitters starting to kick in because I love doing Same Day Edit, but I have not done one in a while and it was my first with DSLR. So it was a new workflow for me but thanks to my good friend and wedding filmmaker extraordinaire Loyd Calomay, I felt reassured I could pull it off with ease and style. 
I knew what song I was going to use and for the past week, and I was "storyboarding" it in my head. Even though the ceremony at First United Palo Alto Methodist Church was a late start , and I had no time to start the editing before the ceremony due to a busy prep time, I was very confident I would meet my deadline of 10:30pm to share the SDE with them. And I did 10:15pm I was ready to go.
I would like to give a special shutout to Dennive and Jeffrey of Maliksi photography, who captured the day beautifully, and Cary Lee of Petals by CaryThank you again Alfa and Tony for having me for your wedding. It was truly an honor to work with you. Enjoy the honeymoon

Julie and Victor - Love story - San Francisco

Where has summer gone!? I can't believe it's already October and that Halloween, Thanksgiving  and Christmas  is already upon us. I apologize for the lack of postings but I have been quite busy with filming and editing over the past two months. And the next two weeks won't be any different as I have a Same Day Edit coming up on Saturday and finally a great wedding at Levi's Plaza the following week. After all of that it will be time to crank up a brand new blog. I'm excited about it and I can't wait for it.

But for the moment meet Julie and Victor.
When Monique Singh of Red Thread Events contacted me to tell me about Julie and Victor's wedding, I already knew it will be a fun and entertaining wedding. So when I met with Julie and she told me she wanted to do a love story I was really excited. She wanted me to create a love story that would give their guests some background on the relationship.
I don't get to do them very often but love story are definitely a fun way to share a little bit of yourself with your guests and family on the day of the wedding.
Their story is quite unusual as they met... through their moms. Both moms became friend through a mutual friend and started chatting about their single daughter and single son... The rest as they said is history... Well not quite, but you will just have to watch it to find out.
The film was shown this past Saturday in front of their 300 guests at beautiful Julia Morgan Ballroom, and I have to admit it was great to see their reaction when the story unfolded on their big screen.
I hope you enjoy it.
Have a great day.
