Tammy and Cameron’s Wish is Granted

When my daughter, Savannah, was born with severe brain damage due to oxygen deprivation during birth, my wife and I wanted to seek hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Also called HBOT, it is extremely expensive, and the amount she needed was far beyond our means. However, many friends within the Las Vegas wedding community and abroad had thrown us fundraising events and given us donations. We were able to raise enough money for 2 months of treatments. Although they were unsuccessful for our baby girl, we still felt so indebted to so many who have given to us so selflessly.

When Wish Upon a Wedding presented this opportunity for us to donate our services for a couple under special circumstances we could not pass it up. Finally, we can give back after being given so much. When I met Tammy and Cameron to film their Love Story, I was so intrigued with their kindness to me and happiness with each other. Their activeness in the disable community is inspirational, and it was an honor for me to be part of such an important day in their lives. Like most of my past couples their wedding was not the end of our relationship, it was the beginning of our friendship.

Although we were able to give Tammy and Cameron our services, we still feel like we owe so much. I guess this will be a start:)

Romantic Spring Wedding of Kori and Stefan

Kori and Stefan are one of those couples that seem like they were destined to be together. Their love story and the way they came to be as Mr. and Mrs. Newman is truly unique. They were sealed together at the Las Vegas LDS Temple and celebrated in the beautiful ballroom at Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It was an honor for Lighten Films to film this elegant wedding, and I cannot wait to produce their feature film. In the mean time, enjoy their coming attraction trailer…

Kori and Stefan are having a romantic sunset moment on their wedding day…

Awesome Sunset Wedding with Dove Release

After Sarah saw her cousin Krystal’s wedding film. It was official, she had to have Lighten films for her wedding cinematographer. I’m honored when I film someone’s wedding and end up filming multiple weddings from their family.

Sarah and Chad love each other in the deepest way. While talking to them and getting to know them better, which I love to do with all of my awesome couples, I learned a lot. I learn their love was so strong, they had to overcome a personal struggle that a lot of couples(especially young couples) could not have survived. This love was in full blossom on their wedding day, and I was beyond excited to immortalize it.

Julianna + Wasim is now available on DVD and Blu Ray

When I met Julianna and her family at our presentation, I knew it was going to be a fun wedding. I love filming weddings of different cultures, and capturing their traditions. Above all, capturing the love that Julianna and Wasim have for one another was the best ingredient of their wedding day. Dalia The E Planner coordinated and designed this extravagant event loaded with eye candy. It was an honor filming this wedding and immortalizing these moment for Julianna, Wasim and their family and friends….
