Lumitone’s owners Alex & Kerrin welcomed their 2nd child Camille today at 1;26am.  Mom and Baby are doing fine and everyone is super excited!

We had a fun time shooting the pictures for this group of seniors.  They were a fun crowd to work with and I think we got some great shots.  Our new senior packages are available now and we are taking bookings for 2013.  Enjoy

To some people, a rainy day means all activities should remain indoors. For us, it means nice and even light for our wedding films! Jennifer and John (and their bridal party) arrived in style with not one, but THREE Rolls Royce cars before exchanging vows at the amazing California Golf Club of San Francisco. It was our first time shooting there, but what a joy it was to have high window structures that gracefully invited all of the available light from outside. Their families were very welcoming and definitely showed us how to have a good time. It was hard to believe we were working! Enjoy their SDE.

Candice and Ben had a very unique, 1920’s themed wedding. The rain did not hinder their spirits, even as they exchanged their vows in the midst of a downpour in Esprit Park. Their ‘throwback’ celebration came to life as all the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and guests dressed for the era to enjoy a roaring reception at Big Daddy’s Antiques in San Francisco. We all had a blast! Enjoy the SDE.

This was a fun wedding. Van and his guys were energetic and silly from the start of the morning, getting ready for the two tea ceremonies that were to come.  Linda and her girls looked amazing and everyone was super chill and fun to work with the whole day.  We got some great photo & video at Stanford before moving on to our next spot in downtown San Jose.  The day was a little cold, but everyone toughed it out for some really great shots.  Enjoy!

Race cars, classic cars, more cars, and a yellow Corvette. If you asked us to name the most unique wedding entrance we have seen, we might have to say Rachel & Joe’s. They had a one-of-a-kind introduction complete with video playing on 3 projection screens.  It culminated with Rachel and Joe rolling into the reception in his yellow Corvette. Set at the Blackhawk Auto Museum in Danville, our bride and groom gave their audience an entrance to remember. We were definitely enjoying ourselves capturing the evening with such great people in a really unique venue.

Wedding shoots are extra fun when you get to work with familiar faces. We have done a few weddings with Leah’s friends before and it is always good to have referral business. Also with Photographer Ed Pingol and his team, we were able to take advantage of the beautiful land surrounding Casa Real. Leah & Vincent had so much energy all day and were able to give a great traditional Samoan performance at the end of the night. Despite the rainy weekend, we managed to stay dry and capture some great memories. Enjoy their SDE.”

Well its the first SDE of the year and I think its going to be a good year for Lumitone in 2012. At Lumitone, we’re all about telling stories. Joy & Teenchee told their own stories through some wonderfully personal elements on their wedding day. First, they chose for their wedding to take place on the same date as their very first date. The reception location…the site of the high school dance where they first met. Even their first dance as a married couple was accompanied by the same song as their first dance as boyfriend and girlfriend. So many elements to share with their family, friends, and of course us! We are so honored to be a part of their story and be able to bring it to life for them in return….on the same night. Enjoy their SDE.

Come check us out at a new show every Sunday in January. We would love to get the chance to meet and talk with you about your upcoming wedding. Go to Modern Bridal’s website for more information www.modernbridal.com

We love being a part of destination weddings and this is our first on the Caribbean island of Grand Cayman. The entire event occurred at the Westin Casuarina Grand Cayman resort with a welcome dinner starting things off on Thursday 11/10 and the wedding on the biggest event date of the year 11/11/11. Monica & Kalpen have been so great to work with in this whole process (we actually got to meet them earlier this year when we filmed Monica’s brother’s wedding in July out at Casa Real in Pleasanton). This was a small intimate wedding, as destination events tend to be, but we really feel like we get to know everyone a lot better and have more of a connection with the crowd. Their traditional Indian wedding was stunning in every detail, from the colorful saris, to the lively Baraat, to the ceremony performed by their Ji – a close family friend. Enjoy the same day edit from the Caribbean Islands!
