What an absolute joy it was to film the enchanted wedding of Isabelle and Daniel…
A magical weekend at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, Ca orchestrated by the infamously talented {and incredibly loving + humble} Mindy Weiss. Isabelle is a girl after my own heart… she has a love for all things beautiful, romantic, enchanted and girly.
Being able to film this magical event alongside superstar photographer Elizabeth Messina we found ourselves giggling together with delight throughout the weekend as we captured all the wonderful textures and details that Belle had in store for us. From vintage style hair pieces from Leah C. to the Alice in Wonderland “Clock” cufflinks she gave her groom {see the film above!} this was a wedding like no other for a couple whose love is truly a romantic fairytale.
Filmed on both 16mm film and High Definition video enjoy the beauty of classic vintage film mixed with modern crisp cinematic picture. This is true bliss*…
We began shooting on the Canon 5DmkII camera’s after Re:Frame Austin this year and are just astounded by the saturated imagery this camera produces. One of our first shoots on it was documenting “A Lovely Workshop” by Elizabeth Messina. {which we are excited to share here very soon!}

It’s been an interesting journey shooting weddings on the 5D camera because everyone thinks we are photographers. We get poses and ’smiles’ left and right. So much so that I often find myself saying “click” just so that people will stop posing and start moving!
What has also been cool is the reaction from photographers {at first the shock on their faces thinking another photographer cramped their shoot!} but secondly, the camaraderie that is strengthened knowing that if the other needs to borrow a lens, battery charger, etc. that we have each others backs. Many photographers I’ve worked with have said that they purchased or are thinking of purchasing this camera because of it’s video capability, yet they still don’t know how to work with it due to time, not understanding the ingestion or how to edit it…
Well photog friends, here’s your chance! Re:Frame San Francisco has just opened it’s doors to photographers that want to learn all about Canon 5D video workflow.
My filmmaking background began as a photographer… I simply got tired of static images, I wanted my subjects to MOVE within the frame. Perhaps you’re feeling this way as well, or maybe you want to add dimension to your e-sessions, baby shoots, senior portraits or for your own personal family documentation.
RF:SF is a one-time opportunity to submerge yourself with the most accomplished 5D shooters in the game. You will learn more than your brain can handle, and this opportunity is open to people at all levels. There are less than 20 spots left so secure your seat today ~ Looking forward to seeing you in SF!
Just had to share this *delicious post* courtesy of my all-time favorite cooking blog ::Â The Kitchen Sink Recipes. What I love about this blog is the wonderful stories that go along with the recipes. This one in particular is quite funny as she tackles Whole Foods Market.
I cannot wait to pick up some blueberries at our local farmer’s market and give this cute little powdered sugar cake a try. Happy Friday!
