Nestldown Wedding - Rudy & Sherry

This wedding was filled with so much love and emotion for a Groom that absolutely had such a devotion for his bride Sherry.
We filmed this wedding with the Canon 5D and Two Sony Z7 both onto CF Cards for intense detail.
The food by Le Pappion was Mmmmm good, including the wedding cup cakes.
Nestldown is a garden for couples who want to be surrounded by beauty, the fountain at Chapel Lake and redwoods in fern grottos. A must see...

Saint Cecilia Catholic Church - San Francisco

I loved filming this wedding of Mitch and Kelly even
with the challenging high winds and torrential
down pour we had all day.

We still got our amazing shots from under umbrellas
and wet cameras and I loved how the weather
made everything so polished and dramatic for
our cinematic touch
at the Historical San Francisco Ferry Building.

The combination of Morgan Doan Events and Linnae of
Asiel Design reflected an ambiance of warm colors
and romance.

ReFrame the Collective in SF

was a spectacular event in San Francisco hosted by
The event was held at the Clift Hotel which by no standard was to say the least plush!
I saw allot of other great associates in video there and
made one great new friend Ryan and his wife Jada.
Got updated on new types of Cameras to shoot with,
great filters to add for editing from Red Giant Software, Canon 5D & 7D accesories by Zacuto,
saw great movies by the speakers, loved all of the speakers,
especially Leila Kahlil of Be Inspired PR| The Wedding Specialists,
amazing timelaspes by Philip Bloom whom I thought was such a kick to hang out.
Non stop playing around with his toy cameras.
Got to talk personally with all the speakers which
you dont always get to do like at WPPI in Vegas every year or WEVA.
Had dinner with the guys (funny they all have accents, UK) and fun to listen too.
I loved it all and cant wait till the next one,
I suggested San Diego?
Some fun shots!

Me having fun in this crazy big chair.
Everything was Mirrors and Chairs at the Clift Hotel.
Loved the RGB Elevators too.
The party mixer on the top floor was major fun and
the star of the Karaoke show down was

thee legendary Joe Simon and his amazing couch!

Having a killer dinner with me on left me, Steve Weiss,

Here I took a shot with the amazing Kristen of Bliss* in my seat.
Really enjoyed getting to know everyone here!

Wedding Bride Shoes - Pumps of the Week

Another amazing wedding in San Francisco was Kelly and Dr. Gus Pries my amazing Greek wedding at the beautiful Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church and the reception at Fabulous Sir Francis Drake Hotel. Warm family toasts, Greek dancing and my favorite part, the money being tossed and floating down over the couple while they danced. Kelly had amazing flowers and these amazing red souled, gold spiked bright blue Christian Louboutins pumps. I have always thought that the brides pumps reflect the impression she wants to make on her day.





Jimmy Choo's once again for Pauline's beautiful wedding.
Pauline is a amazing bride from Apple and spent a pretty penny
for these pumps.
Here wedding was at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery.


Details, details ladies, your shoes are the style of the day.



I have lately seen so many great brides shoes in San Francisco Bay area and thought it would be great to post great shoe shots of brides from my weddings. I love it when a bride has her amazing white dress but, under the dress is the real personality of every bride, THE SHOES! This post is to honor those brides who walked the extra mile to find the perfect pumps!
Each week we will post the Brides Pumps of the week!


My Bride Kari who Married Randy Ksar at the 18th hole at Pebble Beach GCC
had these Jimmy Choo Pumps. Im actually starting to see a few Jimmy Choo Pumps.


Jenny Federico, now Mrs. Lallas of the fabulous CordeValle
Wedding Saturday, had some amazing pumps that
she hinted to me at the rehearsal that where to die
for. She had something old, something new,
something borrowed and definately BLUE!
