Amanda and Hal were married at a private residence in Calabasas on a beautiful Sunday in September. We were so honored to be
a part of their big day which was so full of love, romance, and beauty! Amanda, who happens to work in fashion, was one of those bride's that we knew early on was going to be just breathtaking from head to toe! We love this photo of her in her bedroom moments before her first look.
The photos, captured by the incredible Allie and Brian Callaway of Callaway Gable Photography,
are stunning and we can't wait to share some of them with you.
However, in the meantime, we thought we'd give you a sneak peek of their
Same Day Edit highlight from the big day!
Amanda and Hal fell in love with Daniel Boswell of Imagique Cinema's
style and the SDE was shown via projector at the end of the evening!
Their love for one another and the gorgeous details of their
day translate beautifully on film. Guests were wowed by this video and
we think you will be too - it is truly one of the best one's to date!
Check it out!
We cannot wait to share more with you from this incredible day soon!
Mirella and Scott were married at Vibiana on a lovely Friday in April. We were so honored to be a part of their day as they are just the sweetest of couples and so so in love.
Today a friend shared with me an amazing wedding video she found on BrideFinds.com. Bride Finds titled it the "Best. Wedding Video. Ever". The title intrigued me, and although it was 15 minutes long I decided to watch it. From the moment it started, I was glued. This video is unique, artsy and cool, yet so sweet. Beautiful Bride Victoria and Groom Jason were married on August 27th, 2011 in Moorpark, California. Their wedding was beautifully hippie-chic and full of love, tenderness and fun!
I absolutely love how they used a combination of photos, video from the wedding, and clips of love scenes from famous old films. I knew I had to share this video with all of you because it is so much different than any other wedding video I've seen. I realize it may not be everyone 's "style" of wedding video, but one must admit, it is unique. I hope you enjoy it!

Today is the 2nd anniversary for a very special couple, Amanda and Luis! The Barrios' were married 2 years ago today at Agoura Bible Fellowship and had their reception at the Westlake Village Inn.
Here is a recap of their special day thanks to the lovely Charles Lauren Films. To date, this is one of our most treasured highlight reels ever! So sweet! To see special details from this day, visit the original blog post!
Cinematography happens to be one of our favorite elements from a wedding. While a picture is worth a thousand words, there is nothing more powerful or emotionally riveting than the story a wedding day video tells. There is something truly magical about reliving the most special of moments, being able to hear vows and speeches all over again and simply just viewing the day, after it happens. Your wedding day goes by so quickly and so much is happening at once that many often overlook things large or small. Having the peace of mind in knowing you will have a keepsake to hold onto and experience everything all over again is priceless.
Unfortunately, video tends to be one of the first vendors our clients seem to want to omit, for budget purposes or they just don't think they need it. We always encourage them to reevaluate this decision based on prior experiences with past clients. For quite some time clients have chosen to go without a video and to this day it tends to be one of their number one regrets. We now suggest at the very minimum having someone document the raw footage from the day. In the past several years, clients have taken our advice, hired a videographer for the day and have been beyond pleased in their decision.
One thing to note, their is a substantial difference between a wedding video and a cinematography styled wedding film. One of our favorite companies, Charles Lauren Films, recently spoke on some of the major differences between the two styles and why your video really is an investment for your future. In the video below, Kelsey Pluskat explains how the post-production process is truly what separates a cinema film from what she calls "your mother's wedding video".
Another incredible element to add to your wedding video is a highlight reel or even better yet the signature "same-day" edit created especially by Mr. Daniel Boswell of Imagique Cinema. Both the highlight reel and the "same-day" edit capture the most memorable moments of your day and feature them in an edited version synced to music. Sometimes they can also take words from speeches or vows or just special things said and edit those in as well.
The primary difference between the highlight reel and the "same-day" edit is the date it's shown. A "same-day" edit is created and shown live on-site at your wedding! Yes, this is actually possible and truly amazing. Guests are shocked and ecstatic to see all the details behind the scenes they didn't get to see during the day like getting ready moments or the minutes leading up to the ceremony. Typically we like to schedule the "same-day" edit for immediately following the cutting of the cake. This usually gives pros like Daniel ample time to setup an edit station in private and really go above and beyond with the cutting and mixing to your preselected song.
Here is an example of one of those magical "same-day" edits by Imagique Cinemafrom our Platinum Wedding. This happens to be one of our most favorite of all time! Not only do we love Alicia Keys but we also adore Kristel and Jason!
