06.10.11 Cristina + Roger

Wedding by Mon

Ceremony and Reception: The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel
Event Coordinator: Jessica Kaufman, Just Chic Events
Photographer: Sarah Rico
DJ: Ian Gotler, Red Shoe LA

When our bride sent us a list of possible songs to use for their Same Day Edit, I was excited to see one of my favorites on their list. While it was a list of five, I somehow knew already which one was on top of that list, “I’ll Be” by Edwin McCain. And in my thought, it had to be the acoustic version…and definitely my own remixed one too. Though excited to work on the edit, this was one of the toughest to pull off. The ceremony finished late at almost 7pm with our SDE showing scheduled at 10:20pm. We managed to finish 20 minutes late…what?!!! Yes, 20 long minutes behind. But seeing our couple and their guests’ reaction after the showing was both a relief and comfort. They’re happy, we’re happy. Thank you Cristina and Roger for bearing with us. Yours was a beautiful celebration filled with beautiful people and a great atmosphere.

Again, we thank our jolly and beautiful couple, for putting their trust in us and the wonderful accommodation from their families. Lots of thanks to Jessi Kaufman of Just Chic Events. Also, very grateful to Gary of Swank Audio-Visual at The Ritz Carlton for being on the ball and for setting us up for our presentation.

It was a great evening of a beautiful union. Here’s Cristina and Roger’s Same Day Edit.

06.04.11 Aleli + Randy

Ceremony: St. Denis Church. Diamond Bar
Reception: Westin Hotel. Costa Mesa
Photographer: Jason Zalameda
Event Coordinator: Serenity Events

“They look so young, and so beautiful..” Heard that a few times at the wedding and…true, very true! Aleli, in her lovely Vera Wang gown, and Randy, with his boyish good looks, made for a very charming couple. The church and reception venues were also very nice locations. St. Denis, though strict, is still a favorite. Big props to photographer Jason Z and his team, Jason Zalameda Photography, for picking a nice spot for our couple’s pictorials at the Santa Ana Train Station. Thanks to Caroline Cheng and Serenity Events for working patiently with all of us all day.

Here’s the couple’s Same Day Edit shown at the reception.

05.28.11 Josah + Ronnie

Ceremony: St.Elizabeth Seton. Rowland Heights
Reception: The Summit House. Fullerton
Event Coordinator: Michelle Groom. Melle Amore Events
Photographer: Casey & Andrea Figlewicz. Figlewicz Photography
Make-up: Sharleen Carlos
DJ: John Villa. Dance Syndicate Entertainment

I know we’re a week late in posting this and I truly apologize, it’s been a real busy week. Specially to our couple (probably coming back from Costa Rica as I’m posting this) who’s two of the sweetest and most sincere people we have ever worked with. It was a great day with the remarkable coordination of Melle Amore Events, lead by one of our favorites, Michelle Groom. A nicely secluded La Habra Heights mansion was the location for our bride’s preparation. Photography was exceptionally handled by the husband and wife team of Casey and Andrea Figlewicz with first-rate make-up by Sharleen Carlos and crew. And not to forget, DJ John Villa’s mastery of bringing down the house with excellent hosting and control of the dance floor as our couple and their guests partied the night away at The Summit House in Fullerton.

Josah and Ronnie, we had a great time working with you both. From the making of your love story film to the actually wedding day. Thank you for your complete trust in us. We wish you the BEST and here’s your Same Day Edit again….
