Im so happy with how this edit came out! I was so worried about how i would put this together when i was converting the footage. If you didnt notice, there is no preparation clips. I worked out a special package with Christine and Bryant to film only the ceremony and reception. I decided to show up a few hours early to get some broll of the hotel and catch their first look! Although i didnt actually meet the couple till the first look, we had an instant connection and they were great to work with! When i first saw Bryant i had to do the double look because he looks dead on like my cousin Joey! hahahaha

Christine and Bryant had an amazing ceremony. The weather was perfect and their officiant had so many beautiful things to say which made it easy for me to build the story. The photo session was fun and we were able to catch some good sunset shots on the beach! Their photographer Christie, knew the best places to take pictures. She took us to multiple locations all within one block which i know will make for an awesome photo album!

During the reception the best man had such a good speech i HAD to work it into the edit somehow! I was worried i wouldnt have enough footage to make a good edit, but i actually couldn’t fit alot of clips i wanted to use! I am also super stoked for this highlight because i got to use our new animated close out logo with new branding =)

Special thanks to Jeremiah Tayao for the assist!

Monica and Ed are originally from Vallejo, California and decided to renew their wedding vows here in Hawaii. We had such a great time working with the couple. We spent their morning snacking on Hawaii’s famous Leonard’s Malasads. Ed has to be the funniest groom i have ever filmed. I was laughing so much while i was editing this video. We had so much good footage i wish i could have used it all for the highlight!

Ed is actually an outstanding wedding photographer! (edpingolphotography.com) Which made this day so easy for us. I guess you can say he knew the routine. He even took pictures of Monica while she had her makeup and hair done. They were really chill and relaxed and i enjoyed hanging out with them during prep!

We also had an AWESOME photo session with Frank Amodo of amodophoto.com

Although Monica and Ed are not originally from Hawaii, they love the scenery, its culture, and the MUSIC! Every song i received from them i always hear on our local radio station KCCNFM100.com! They even sent me the song they wanted for their highlight months before the wedding!

I really wanted to give the video a nice Hawaiian vibe and cut to the beat! I hope you enjoy it!

CHEEHUU!!
