I got the privilege of celebrating my anniversary with a wonderful couple last Saturday at the TPC Valencia. My wife and I were married on June 20, 1998, 11 years strong! Just for the record, my wife and I celebrated on Thursday night going to the live taping of So You Think You Can Dance and out to a great dinner in Hollywood. She is very understanding about me filming on our anniversary…come to think of it, she’s very understanding about everything I do which is one of the many reasons why I love her and we’re more in love now than we were 11 years ago. But enough about us…
I got to shoot a spectacular wedding on June 20, 2009 at one of my favorite locations, TPC Valencia (www.tpcvalencia.com). Gina Goodrich, coordinates all of the events over there and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who works harder, cares more, or treats the guests and vendors with as much class and kindness as she does. She’s the best!
Meghan happens to be very good friends with one of the best wedding coordinators anywhere, Kelly Meyer of Kelly Michelle Weddings (www.kellymichelleweddings.com/), and it showed. The colors, the details, the flowers, the linens and the candy table were all top notch. Don’t try this at home people, this was professionally done from top to bottom. The rentals were brought in by Rusty at AV Party Rentals (www.avparty.com) and he always does a superb job. The gorgeous flowers were done by Jackie Combs of Jackie Combs Floral Design (www.jackiecombsfloraldesign.com/). This was the first time I had worked with Jackie, but I sure hope it’s not the last, Meghan couldn’t stop talking about how much she loved the flowers.
The whole thing was captured by Tara Rochelle of Tara Rochelle Photography (www.tararochelle.com/). I have worked with Tara and her husband Ryan many times and they’re always a blast to work with. Tara gets as fired up as I do to find new creative shots and that goes a long way to making the pictures and the video something really special.
A big thank you to Meghan & Matt and their whole family, this was really a special couple and a very memorable anniversary for me. I hope their marriage is as blessed and fulling as mine has been.
Of course I’m a glutton for punishment and I stayed up until 3:00am editing a highlight montage for them the night of the wedding, so hopefully it looks as good to you all as it did to me through my bleary eyes. Please take a look at the trailer above and feel free to leave comments, Enjoy!
I got to really appreciate the work done!!!!! keep it up.
