CECILIA + SCOTT HIGHLIGHT FILM

We have a very special treat this week, because Cecila and Scott's highlight video is hot off the press! This wedding was a complete joy to film and edit. My new friends, Cecilia and Scott, had their wedding at the Thursday Club in San Diego and it was B-E-A-UTIFUL! From Cecilia's stunning vintage style dress to the hand-made decor made from the paper of old books, this wedding was gorgeous.  The paper flower decor was definitely a great DIY idea.  But what really made this wedding all so magical was of course the bride and groom. These two were so much fun to film. I always enjoy it when the couple I work for not only tolerates my goofyness but can match it! LOL. There were also quite a bit of tears in this wedding. I especially love Cecilia's smile when she's trying hold em back. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the film!

CHARIANE + MATT HIGHLIGHT FILM

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

The end of the year always brings about a time of reflection on 2011 and excitement for 2012.  One of the greatest things that happened to us in 2011 was our wedding!  As one of my Christmas gifts, Matt secretly edited a highlight film of our wedding whenever I was not home.  He wrapped the DVD up in a Tiffany-colored bag that had a sticker on it that said "Forrey & Co."  Since we were both home sick on Christmas Eve, we opened all our gifts on the couch while dosed up on Tylenol and ginger tea.  I think I watched our highlight film about 30 times!!  

Anyhow, enough jabbering, here is a short film of our wedding at Keyways Vineyard & Winery in Temecula, CA! It's edited by the groom himself using the song "Turn to Stone" by Ingrid Michaelson.  You can't go wrong with Ingrid. Also, special thanks to our friends at Amari Productions for filming our wedding.  Enjoy!

DANNY + JIA HIGHLIGHT FILM

Well, it's Friday, it's raining, so I say let's pop some popcorn and watch Danny and Jia's highlight film. Nestled away in Simi Valley, their wedding venue called The Vineyards was a beautiful spot to celebrate Danny and Jia's big day. I really loved the gardens there where we had their portrait session and first look. The lush greenery with the little trail taking you throughout made for some good cinematography. Danny and Jia were an absolute pleasure to work with, and their beautiful smiles made my job easy. Hope you enjoy their film.

HOME OF POSSIBILITIES

Happy November everyone! To celebrated let's have a post shall we?! We just finished a "Who We Are" video for an organization called Home of Possibilities. This organization provides effective, high quality community-based counseling and social services as an alternative to traditional institutional care. To read more about the organization please visit their website. This was a fun project to work on because we were able to incorporate some creative, and fun video effects to compliment the positive, jovial staff at HOP. 

JILLIAN + TREVOR'S HIGHLIGHT FILM

Here I sit enjoying the delicious apple cinnamon jelly from the quaint little town of Julian, California, where I had the pleasure of filming Jillian and Trevor's wedding at "The Farmhouse."  The Farmhouse is nestled between apple orchards and has a great view of the surrounding mountains.  This wedding had a unique feel to it, as it was very personal and the details were home made and creative. And nothing beats the BBQ they served!

Jillian and Trevor were an absolute pleasure to work with because they treated me just like I was part of the family.  I got to know their story when I made their "Love Story" film, and it was cool to witness their big day finally happen because they had been so excited about it.  One neat thing about this wedding is that Jillian is a professional wedding hairstylist, and did her own hair.  Check out her website: www.SanDiegoWeddingHairbyJillianRae.com. Their family was pretty fun too, and there were some great dancers - as you will see in this video!
