Kristina and Victor-San Francisco's Grace Cathedral and historic Westin St. Francis Hotel

What an amazing day in San Francisco!  Victor and Kristina (who are as beautiful inside as they are outside) chose to document their day in both Super 8 film and 16mm film.  After an emotional ceremony at San Francisco's stunning Grace Cathedral, the bride and groom slipped away to the Legion of Honor for some fabulous photos, and then partied the night away at the legendary Westin St. Francis.  Here are a few Super 8 and 16mm film stills from their day.

Marissa & Erick- San Gabriel Mission and San Gabriel Grapevine Arbor

What a wonderful couple!  We love history and this wedding was steeped in history from the ceremony at one of California's oldest mission's the San Gabriel Mission (built in 1771) to the reception in the historic Grapevine Arbor.  But the coolest bit, is these two have been together since they were only 16 years old (talk about a lot of history together.)  We were thrilled to be there with this super sweet couple and capture their day on Super 8 and 16mm Film as they begin this new chapter in their lives.  Here are some Super 8 and 16mm stills of the day.

Yvette & Colin- Hollywood Hills

One word- glamorous.  Yvette & Colin we're married on 6-7-08 at an amazing private estate overlooking Lake Hollywood and just below the Hollywood sign.  The location combined with a 1940's old Hollywood cocktail theme and our  film cameras (we used specially chosen vintage looking film stocks to match their theme)-- and it doesn't get more glamorous than that.  And couples don't getting any nicer either!  Thanks Yvette & Colin.  Here are a few Super 8 and 16mm film stills from their day.

Kevin & Allison's Hollywood celebration

We love Allison & Kevin!  And what a gorgeous Hollywood wedding they had.  The day started at the ultra-hip Hotel Roosevelt.  The emotional ceremony was held at another Hollywood landmark: Hollywood United Methodist.  But it was Allison's grandmother's cookies that stole the show when Kevin  and Allison passed them out to all their guests at the their glamourous reception at Arnie Morton's.  We couldn't resist-- yes the cookies taste as good as they look!  Here are some film stills from their wedding.  You can see a 16mm film clip of their amazing wedding on the screening room of  our wedding website.
