I meant to blog about Linda and Joe's wedding for a long time now and today is the day. They are such a sweet couple and I just wanted to make sure that their wedding film tells their story as accurately as possible. There was a lot of emotion, laughter, and tender moments during this two-day event. And off course lot of love from their freinds and family. I hope you will enjoy it.

Take care,

Welcome to Kent's Kanines

A little while back I had the opportunity to work with a very talented dog groomer. Deborah Kent of Kent's Kanines, just loves her dogs and this promo I put together for the launch of her company is definitely a reflection of that love she has had for all our furry friends for over 20 years now. This piece is special to me as it is the first time I was offered to do that kind of promo, and to be honest with you I loved it. It was a lot of fun. Thank you to my friend James Burkart for helping me out with getting the footage entirely shot on Canon 5D Mark II.

I need to apologize for taking such a long time to post new materials but I have been busy to give a much needed face lift to MvideoM Productions. So for those of you who come regularly (and am not talking about my sister, brother, and nieces and nephews) to check the blog, I need to let you know that December 1st, 2009 will be an important day in the era of MvideoM Productions.
In the meantime I wanted to share with you this Highlight I created for Stephanie and Calvin. Their wedding was an amazing event, and Todd Rafalovich was the amazing photographer who captured all the important moments of the day. My friend Nicole Ha of Nicloe Ha Designs was responsible for all the decoration and what an amazing job she did. Thank you to Molly at the Pacific Athletic Club in Redwood shores for opening her doors and being so helpful.
I hope you will enjoy it.
A tres bientot.

See it in HD Here

Shadieh and George were such a fun couple to work with and I was so psyched about their wedding. Although I couldn't shoot the day of, I had Adi and Jordan taking care of the day for me. But I was able to bring my contribution to the wedding by shooting a fun MTV for them In San Francisco the week before their wedding. It was debuted at their lavish reception at the Grand Hyatt in Burlingame.
This shoot was special to me because it was the first time I get to use the magical Canon 5D Mark II.
Check it out...

Times are changing

Woaw! I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted anything on the blog. Not that I have been slacking but just super busy with wrapping up the year, getting ready for 2010, and also revamping MvideoM Productions, to make it even better, and to give you the best.

That is why, in a few weeks from now, MvideoM Productions will have an extreme make-over to go to the next level (what ever that is, as I think the sky is the limit). It's an exciting time and a scary one all at once, but I'm ready for a new challenges.

In the meantime I will keep on posted all the exciting events I have been shooting throughout the summer including an unforgettable wedding in France. Stay tune for new updates, and new films.

Thanks for stopping by.

This wedding was particular for me because I have known Conan back in my days at Loveliness, so when Suzanne contacted me and told methey wanted me to be their videographer, i felt honored off course but also pressured, because I knew that i wanted to their wedding to be even more perfect than what I can do. So when they told me I had pretty much carte blance with the music,I decided to go "out of my comfort zone" and give them a piece that truly represent them.

This full feature is in two parts in order for you to be able to enjoy the highest neat rate possible.

So here it is. the second part will follow later on. Enjoy

Mission Santa Clara is one of my favorite church around the Bay Area. The architecture is amazing and the atmosphere is serene for lack of better word. So when Yumi and Patrick told me that's where they would held their ceremony I was thrilled. The ceremony was wonderful and touching, and the reception at the Historic DelMonte Building, was fun and friendly. Big shutout to Phillip Mobley from PLM Productions, who rock s the party with some great tunes, as well as great energy.

Charles Le was triggering all day long, and it was a pleasure working with him.

Thank Yumi and Patrick for giving me the opportunity of being your wedding filmmaker.

Rachell & Shaun, Wedding Film (full) Groezinger Estate, Yountville, california

Click to Play

Last april, I had a chance to go to Reframe, which is a collective of amazing wedding filmmakers and got so inspired that I could not wait to tackle on Rachell and Shaun's wedding. I had so many ideas in my head that it actually took me a while to get it on its way. But once the direction was clear to me I had no hesitation on what to do. Rachell and Shaun had a very intimate ceremony in Napa. Their officiant was a close friend, and it became appearant to me that the most important was to heavily rely on the speeches and ceremony in order to paint a nice portray of who they are.

I hope I managed to do so. As usual comments are welcome. Please let the video completely download before you watch it. Press the play button twice

Have a wonderful day.
