07.24.11 Jennifer + Brian

Venue: The Summit House. Fullerton.
Photographer: Aileen Secord Photography

Back at the Summit House in Fullerton for the second time this year. First time for a ceremony venue and we were amazed by the nice view it provided for this wedding. Our couple are from back East and we only got to know them through phone calls and e-mails, ’til this their wedding day, but we always thought they were a nice looking pair, very sweet too. Sure enough, we were right…quite a beautiful pair and they were just pleasant to work with. Congratulations Jennifer and Brian. Big props to the team of Aileen and second shooter, Jonathan, of Aileen Secord Photography for the beautiful stills. Do check it out in her blog, and here’s the Same Day Edit we showed at their reception.

07.15.11 Gessica @ 18

Venue: The Langham Huntington. Pasadena.
DJ: Eugene Macala

We’ve known Gessica since she was a baby. Making us feel ancient! Gel’s always been that sweet, adorable, witty, bright kid who topped her class every year, a pride to her Mom and Dad. The always polite, always delightful and cheerful, and of course, very beautiful girl we all called Gel is now 18 and is heading off to college (not far though, much to the delight of her parents).
In Filipino culture, when a girl turns 18, more often than not, a big lavish party is thrown for her to, sort of like, introduce her to society. This was what it’s all about, the debut of Gessica, now a woman and about to enter a new, exciting phase of her life as a young adult.
Thanks of course to the Mom and Dad, Ge & Che, for having us as part of this milestone in her life. I’m sure they would like to thank all their great family and friends from here and out of state, specially those from Hawaii and Jersey, who came to to celebrate with us. To the amazing DJ from San Jose, Eugene Macala, for bringing down the house (OH YEAH!)…. and to everyone who made this possible for our sweet Gel.
Unfortunately, the special video/same day edit we presented at the party is only for private viewing. If you know Gessica well enough, then you should know her Mom’s maiden name, which is the password to our video.

Happy 18th birthday again Gel and good luck with college!!

07.03.11 Jessica + Chad

Ceremony and Reception: Hyatt Newport Beach
Event Planner: Mele Amore Events
Photographer: Lauren Hillary
Band: Wayne Foster Entertainment

We feel so blessed to be a part of this very special event. Jessica and Chad’s wedding tops the chart in elegance and style. We were in awe as we entered the reception ballroom of the Hyatt in Newport Beach with the magnificent preparation and planning of one of OC’s premiere wedding planners, Mele Amore Events. The setting was just absolutely perfect for our lovely enamored couple. FUN and PARTY was the theme of the night, as our couple and their guests rocked the night away with awesome live performance from Wayne Foster and his band.
