During our Engagement Session, a few days away from the wedding day, at the Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, there was a musician playing with his Guitar. It immediately sparked an idea for me. So I asked Joe to go speak with him and maybe request a romantic song while we shoot the couple sitting down and drinking their hot coffee. Mia even told us that she really liked the musician’s voice. So I told Joe to grab a copy of his music so we could use the same song he was playing for the SDE.

Moving forward to the wedding day, we just finished editing the SDE, and it was showtime. Mia asked me what was the projector and the screen for, but she assumed it was a slideshow of her baby pictures. Little did Mia and Elijah know, their in for a surprise.

We really love and enjoy this couple’s company even though we’ve only known met one another for only a day, it felt as though we’ve known them for quite a while. This is why Joe and I decided to an SDE for them :)

Enjoy!

Our first wedding of the year 2012, and we are very happy and excited to share to everyone our same-day edit video of this awesome couple: Ba & Tuyet. This was our first vietnamese wedding that we documented–very traditional indeed. The tea ceremony was followed by a white wedding dress ceremony at Sunol Golf Course. Then the reception at the Asian Pearl restaurant in Fremont.

“We want to let you guys know…the SDE was a perfect ending to our wedding night! thank so much!” -Tuyet, the Bride

Very THANKFUL for our Second Shooters: Elaine, Adrian+Jane of PixelMorning, without you guys the SDE would not be possible.

Cinematographers: Joseph Irasusta, Adrian+Jane (2nd Shooters)

This Engagement Session was probably the most funnest shoot that the team had worked on. Jan and Crishelle fulfilled our wish to shoot in Disneyland, but before we drove down to Anaheim we shot some photos/videos at the Palace of the Fine Arts in San Francisco. We also had Disneyland first timers, Ashley and Joe. Ashley was hired by Crishelle to do her hair and make-up and Joe shot the footage for the trailer (see below). Many thanks to Chilly Willy for providing us with music on our road trip to Disneyland and back. and also to Portos for the awesome cheesecakes! :) Behind the Scene photos to follow in our FACEBOOK Page!
