Destination Wedding Cinematographer in Hummingbird Nest Ranch California

Like many others in 2020, Jennifer and James’ wedding has also been postponed for 2 years due to the pandemic. In the meantime they got married with a civil ceremony and a beautiful baby girl was born.

And so, this event was not just a wedding party, but an opportunity to celebrate their love together with friends and families, remember and honor their origins (Bride and Groom‘s families have Korean heritage and James grew up in Hawaii – this explains the “lei” garlands) and also to thank everyone for being close to them in these two years.

The wedding location was in Simi Valley, about an hour’s drive north of the city of Los Angeles. It’s surrounded by burnt sienna rocky hills and cactus plants with strong reminiscent of the sets of many Hollywood old wild west movies. The wedding venue is Hummingbird Nest Ranch, an old Spanish-style racehorse ranch. Truly an out of this world and peaceful place.

The wedding design by the wedding planner Ashley Sun of CCL WEDDINGS is minimal and elegant. For the ceremony place and the dinner tables the main decoration were candles (I would say hundreds of candles!) in glass jars that create a warm, magical and intimate environment. On the Bride and Groom’s table a cascade of magnificent red roses.

For the wedding party there was no lack of food and drink: open bars, ice cream and boba (bubble tea) kiosk, even the IN & OUT truck that provided its famous delicious burgers. What could I say more…Filming a wedding in South California is always a great pleasure. The mild weather, friendly vendors and colleagues, customers and guests always respectful, cheerful and willing to party. What’s better for a destination wedding cinematographer? 🙂 Can’t wait to see you again California!

Destination Wedding Cinematographer in Los Angeles California Hotel Bel Air

After two years of postponement I flew to the City of Angels for the wedding of Isabel and Ben, an extraordinary couple who have helped and supported me through these difficult Covid moments to find a new date. And finally it has arrived!

Isabel and Ben have chosen a historic and glamorous venue, the Hotel Bel-Air, where over the years it has been frequented by Hollywood stars and VIPs and where it has also been the set for several films. The palm trees, the swimming pool (also frequented by Marylin Monroe!), The pink walls of the Hispanic-style buildings make it a place of great charm.

The elegan wedding design, with florals and details in white, crystal and wood, was designed and planned by Jeannie Yong Savage of Details Details while the tables and decors were about The Nameless Production.

Isabel wore a fantastic mermaid bridal dress by designer Ryan Patroso for couple portraits and bridal party, the first look and the ceremony, while for the first dance (or last dance as they call it in the US!) She wore a transparent and glamorous dress by Berta.

For me, as I think for every destination wedding cinematographer on earth, being able to work in luxury venues such as the Bel-Air Hotel, with renowned wedding planners, great wedding professionals such as the Spanish photographers La Dichosa, is always a great pleasure and an honor.

This wedding was also an opportunity to use the new Sony cameras for the first time and record at the amazing quality of 4K 10bit 4: 2: 2 editing the final wedding film with a brand new color grading, brighter and with a beautiful and natural skin tones. I know the technical details are boring but I assure you that when you watch your wedding video at home on a 4K 60 “TV you’ll be blown away! 🙂
