    Thank you Scott & Elisa for reminding me why I love my job!  Recording someone's wedding day is an honor to begin with, but it's especially gratifying when you're treated as a guest.  Everyone had a blast at this wedding—-everyone, and I know that’s what they wanted.  As you can see it was a beautiful day to begin with.  We started the day with some pictures at Vitello’s Italian Restaurant in Studio City.  I thought colors of the wall and the bricks looked really great.  From there there it was off to the park where we couldn’t resist the playground.  I wish we had more time there because I think we could have easily spent another thirty minutes getting all kinds of fun shots.  I’m happy with the shots we got on the swings because they all cut together nicely.

    The wedding was held at home, which I think it always a great idea.  I dig their style quite a bit.  There was so much more that I wanted to include in this preview, but with all the projects I’m juggling these days I had to wrap it up and get it posted.  I may come back and post a reception highlights reel since I already sorted out all the shots for it, but don’t hold your breath.

    One thing I especially want to touch on is the music in this preview.  I’ve been holding on to ‘Little Bitty Pretty One’ just waiting for the right couple to come along.  It’s such a fun song, and I think it was a nice fit.  There were four other song possibilities for this, which I’ll save for another reel.  I try to avoid using the same song for more than one preview reel.  It gives each one it’s own personality, and there’s always great new music coming out.  Of course, for the full video Scott and Elisa will have their say about the music.

    While we’re at it, I’d like to give a shout out to “Mocha Kiss Coffee” who made quite possibly the best espresso I have ever had.  I don’t see enough coffee bars at weddings, and I think it was a big hit with everyone.  Highly recommended!
