A Summer Love Wedding

Posted inComing Attraction

Alicia and Matthew still do, as they renew their vows at the lovely Anthem Country Club. Alicia who married Matt at the Graceland Chapel at a very young age, finally got the wedding of her dreams. I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful couple at Bridal Spectacular in August of 2011. When they came to our studio for a presentation, we immediately bonded. The love they have for one another is amazing, and the challenges that they faced like most young married couples were able to be overcome. This only strengthen their love for one another as well as the birth of their adorable son Jayden.

Fun, is the best word to describe this wedding from the bridal party, to the families and guests, it was absolutely fun. Filming a fun wedding and documenting the day along side my good friend Chelsea Nicole Photography, just made the day even more awesome. Alicia and Matthew thank you for being awesome and allowing me to capture your awesomeness….


Alicia’s makeup was elegantly prepared by Megan Payne of Makeup in the 702

Dancing Under the Stars // Stunning Las Vegas Wedding at the Four Seasons

Posted inComing Attraction

What can I say about Candice and Lally, this amazing couple from Chicago met here in Las Vegas a few years ago. All Lally had to do was get on the dance floor at a club and look handsome, and Candice approached him with a one-liner “Will you be my pretend boyfriend for tonight?” and the rest was history. Not too many guys are fortunate enough to have a beautiful woman approach them at a club, but if you knew the full Love Story, you would see how some things are meant to be. That’s Candice and Lally, they are meant to be, and they show it everyday, every second they are together. They wanted to unite in marriage and celebrate their love at the place where “they” started, lovely Las Vegas. I was honored that they chose Lighten Films to capture their love on a once in a lifetime day where it is expressed the most. Thank you Candice and Lally! You guys are awesome…

Candice’ makeup looked amazing all day, which is not a surprise since it was done by Megan from Makeup in the 702…

Elegant Las Vegas Wedding at JW Marriott

Posted inComing Attraction

Roxanne was my favorite type of bride, she held cinema as one of the, if not, the most important part of remembering her wedding day. No offense to photographers, but it feels good as a film maker when you are booked first, because it rarely happens. Soon after, she begin asking for recommendations for photographers, and made a great choice with Adam Trujillo Photography. Who always rocks it! Roxanne and Keith knew that this day was a once in a lifetime moment, and hired an all star cast to make it come to life and document it. However, through all the elegant floral and decor(that was absolutely amazing) to the beautiful cake and awesome band, their love for one another excelled as the highlight of the day. It was an honor for Lighten Films to capture this moment for them on their wedding day, and I look forward to completing their amazing film…

Marnie and John are just two of the most awesome people you could ever meet. After falling in love with John, Marnie fell in love with Vitamin C Photography and Lighten Films from across the globe in Australia. Once interacting with her in such animated emails that it seems only Marnie could write, Suzi and I fell in love with her as well. We could not wait to film her rockabilly wedding, and finally I had the opportunity to showcase our new Super 8mm arsenal. It was a pleasure filming their wedding, it was every bit of fun that I thought it would be and more. Marnie and John you ROCK!!! abilly:)

Tammy and Cameron’s Wish is Granted

Posted inComing Attraction,Teaser Trailer

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:)
