Anna & Shaun Stone

We had the pleasure of filming Anna and Shaun Stone's wedding this past Sunday. One unique feature of their Wedding Slideshow is that the couple was already married! They planned the perfect wedding and renewed their vows at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club. I had a great time putting together the slideshow for the Stone Family. They have two children, Shaun Jr. and Alaysia that I made sure to incorporate into the slideshow and storyline.

Below are two clips from the slideshow, the intro and the portion that leads right into the Same Day Edit.



We also had the chance to reunite and work with Jesse Weldon Photography. Jesse was at our very first wedding shoot last year for Paul and Desiree!

Cheryl and Nick

We had a great time working with Cheryl and Nick! For their pre-wedding day footage they wanted an "urban" street look. Unfortunately, our meeting place was in Temecula where we were limited to track homes and freshly cut grass areas! So we decided to drive around to look for a better location. That's when we found a loading area in the rear parking lot of a "TJ Maxx"! This is what we came up with...

The wedding was at a great location at the Pointe Winery in Temecula, California. We worked along side with great vendors on the day of the wedding; Atrero Photography were shooting with us and were a pleasure to work with! Christine Lee the wedding coordinator and Warren Nocon the MC, helped us with the wedding reception itinerary so that we could deliver the Slideshow/Same Day Edit on time! And my crew Vince Sangalang and Oliver Ramirez your film footage rocked! Without your help there is NO way I could've finished the Same Day Edit that fast!

Without further adieu, here is Kismet Cinema's latest Same Day Edit...

Work In Progress


A new post! Sorry it took so long. I finally found some time to post a couple of our recent projects. We've had a lot of fun working on developing new and interesting ways to film our weddings! Stay tuned for more Kismet Cinema Films.

Christine and Kris

It was a pleasure working with Christine and Kris. They have a really great "how we met story" that dates back to junior high! We began to film their love story shoot at a nearby park, when Christine mentioned that they met in junior high/high school. The location was not too far from where we were shooting! So we decided to pack up and resume filming where it all began!

This is what we came up with...




Their wedding ceremony was held at the Orfilia Vineyards. The weather couldn't be any better. Right after the ceremony I found a quiet place to tuck and hide away and work on the Same Day Edit. Here it is...

They also had a photobooth provided by www.cheesyphotobooths.com we decided to have a little fun with it...












Dream and Warren

Dream and Warren were married in San Diego at the Sheraton Hotel. They were a great couple to work with! We had a great time filming the scenes prior to and during the day of the ceremony!

Dream and Warren are huge fans of the Ocean's 11 series! When they asked us if we could do their wedding video with an "Ocean's 11 theme" I was a bit worried at first since I was so used to our comfort zone and style of shooting. But after Cathie mentioned that it would be great way to test our creative potential and "give it a shot", we did. Keep in mind that this is not an exact scene from the Ocean's 11 series but an intro to their Same Day Edit with an Ocean's 11 theme to it.





We had a great time shooting their Same Day Edit! Check out the intro, (Thanks to our newest member of Kismet Cinema, Vincent Sangalang) it is the scene from Ocean's 13 between Terry Benedict and Danny Ocean. The photo below was taken during the reception right before we premiered the video. (Great shot Ron!)

Tamina and Mark's Trailer

Here is another trailer for Tamina and Mark's wedding currently in process and soon to be released on DVD. I had a lot of help by Oliver and Ron here at Kismet who have been working on their editing skills!

Check out this trailer we put together!

Natalie and Ken's "Teaser" Trailer!

One of the latest projects that I'm working on is about to be completed! I wanted to experiment and make a "Teaser" Trailer. Since Natalie and Ken will be receiving their completed DVD soon I didn't want to give too much away in the trailer.

So here it is...
