Irene & Joe: A new reason to celebrate Mother's Day

Mother's Day just took on new meaning for Irene and Joe, who tied the knot at Casa Real Event Center in Pleasanton May 10th. This beautiful and emotional wedding under the late afternoon sun had all the elements of a perfect day. Beautiful bride, handsome groom, and the love of friends and family. Mark Gelineau, a first-time officiant and close personal friend of Joe performed a moving ceremony with plenty of humor, personal touches..and even a greeting in Korean! AwesomeShot Studios handled the moving images, the superb team of Augie Chang Photographyhad it all covered for stills. DJ Brandon of Elite Beat Deejays got the crowd on their feet and Alyssia Jones of Casa Real made sure that it all went together smoothly.

Highlight Videos: The remix.

Every now and then, I like to mix things up and keep it fresh. When Brenda and Todd got married in Seascape (Aptos), they had everything nailed. The weather was beautiful, the guests nervously anxious, the location was scenic, the bride's dress elegant...you get the picture. In talking with them before the wedding, I knew that Brenda wanted a Shania Twain song for her highlights. Being that she is an up and coming country-rock singer, I knew that music was an important element for her. It is also quite inspiring to me, and I'm always on the lookout for fresh music that would help drive my editing. This particular video remix was from a song that I knew would take the visuals in a new direction.
