Yesterday the Edit 1 Media team (Chris, Andrew and yours truly) had the honor of filming Bessie & Alvin’s wedding at the Kahala Hotel which is right outside of Honolulu. Alvin’s family is from Kailua but he and Bessie live in Seattle, so it was a semi destination wedding and the best of both worlds to have us filming their day.

The day was absolutely gorgeous…sunny and mild with some wonderful trade winds. Bessie looked amazing and was just so much fun to be around all day! Alvin was cool, calm and collected and seemed to be walking on air. It was a very busy day with preparations, Chinese games and a First Glance, a Chinese Tea Ceremony and then of course the Ceremony and Reception. We did a Same Day Edit using the same song that played during their wedding procession so it’s obviously a song that means a lot to them!

I have to say that the funniest part of the day is a toss-up between the “Rock the Reception” first dance and the crazy pictures people were taking in the Photo Booth. Bessie and her Maid of Honor took some super silly photos with Andrew that I’m sure won’t ever see the light of day. Thanks for making us take those, Bessie!

I am actually now in Dallas, Texas getting ready for a corporate shoot here tomorrow, but I wanted to post this Same Day Edit we did yesterday so Giordanna & Natanael’s friends and family in Brazil can watch part of the wedding. I need to do some more color correction for the final DVD because I was sitting in the back of our van in the pouring rain doing this edit!

You might remember that last year we did a wedding for Maiara and Tiago at Hidden Meadows. Well their wedding coordinator’s daughter became engaged and hired us to do their video too! It was great to see some familiar faces at this wedding. The Brazilian people are so sweet and even though there is a bit of a language barrier at times, we are beginning to feel like a part of the family!

When I walked into Giordanna’s room she gave me a HUGE hug and you could just see the excitement in her face! She wasn’t nervous at all and she had such a great time all day long! Natanael was a sharp-dressed man in his white and black tux and he seemed to have a smile on his face the entire day. This song has special meaning for them so it was used for their Same Day Edit.

We also worked with the cute and talented Barbie Hull who also had Eliza Truitt with her. Chris and I had such a great time working with this dynamic duo of wedding photography!

Enjoy!
