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….

Disney Winter Wonderland Wedding

Nikki and Mark finally have the fairytale wedding of their dreams after already being married for 5 years. This fairytale was coordinated and design by the wonderful Deborah James of The Pinup Bride Planners. It was an elegant and flawless event with a lot of details, and our blog followers know we love the detail. As I was filming this wedding I could see that Nikki and Mark love each other even more, now, than ever. Mr. and Mrs. Valenti, it was an honor for Lighten Films to be a part of your magical day…
