I love these guys! I was so glad to be able to shoot photos for Roslyn and Paul's wedding. They've been great friends of mine for a couple of years now
I wanted to try something a little bit different for them, so I brought a new crew member out to play with some video equipment on his own for his first wedding shoot with us. Thanks for being adventurous, guys!

We’ve been getting a lot of comments on the Brittany and Jaylen highlights video, and some of you wanted to see a little bit more of the ceremony. Brittany and Jaylen were quite enthusiastic about sharing a little piece of their day! As you can imagine, there was A LOT of action and we had to think quickly as a 3 man team to capture it all!
Enjoy and share with your friends!

Brittany and Jaylen – Without You from The Brides and the Bees on Vimeo.
The best thing about doing what we do is capturing genuine reactions that you can’t fake.
Brittany and Jaylen… you can’t fake this kind of happiness. Over the last year, I got to know these two on a more personal level. It was an honor to to be let into their lives. Along that year, I’ve learned a little something about them…
These two truly love each other.
As I was putting this piece together, I thought back at the times we sat around a table and went over the game plan, both for their engagement video and their wedding video. There were always these funny subtle queues about them that hinted on how deep the love goes. Always sweet to each other, always supporting each other, always surprising each other. My favorite example is when Jaylen started an argument over leaving the computer on to get Brittany to leave the room so that he could tell me a secret plan he had… he was going to sing to her on the day of their wedding.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for a love story…
Their friends sang and danced the ceremony in to Bruno Mars Marry You ( Engagement Video ), the Afghan American reception, the decor, the garter toss flash mob dance off , etc etc… You’ll just have to watch!
Congratulations Brittany and Jaylen!
Thank you for trusting and supporting the vision

These two are adorable! We went to Downtown LA to explore and have a little photo fun. Great architecture, good food, great people, good laughs… whats not to love about this?!
At one point in the day, Paul told Roslyn to make a serious face… we all had a good laugh. She couldn’t do it! In fact, I don’t think I ever saw Roslyn without a smile!
If you can’t already tell, I love telling a story in both color and black & whites. There is something about a black & white photo that just makes things timeless.
See you at the wedding!

Tracy and Elliott – Crazy For You from The Brides and the Bees on Vimeo.
Tracy and Elliott are SO in love, and it shows! This wedding party was a free for all at the Calamigos Ranch in Burbank, CA! From the ridiculously hilarious speeches, the shot battles between tables 9 and 10, to the karaoke version of an Erasure song, this party was a blast!
Normally, our couples choose their own song. This time around, I chose a song for them! It was a tough decision, but this song just came together very nicely. The song itself just tells their story so effortlessly, I couldn’t go without giving it a shot!
Congratulations to Tracy and Elliott!

The Brides and the Bees are the bees' knees at shooting weddings and events. Or maybe I should say "the cat's meow" so I don't use "bees" twice in the same sentence or get too punny. Maybe I'll just say The Brides and the Bees are The Balls. Good stuff, gents.

Shannon and Anthony – Feeling Good from The Brides and the Bees on Vimeo.
Meeting Shannon and Anthony was a great experience! Their love story began less than a year ago on Match.com. When I asked about the wedding being so close in their timeline to their first date, they simply looked at each other and said “we just knew”.
These two let us go all out a the Moorpark Country Club! We even had 3 GoPro’s running at any given time, and on Anthony’s head during a portion of the party! The head mounted GoPro was a hit! We have some great footage of the party from a POV perspective. Its always a great experience getting to know people as their two families become one. The love and joy that everyone feels is radiant, and you can’t help but feel it too.
So to Shannon and Anthony… Live long and prosper!

Yep! Time has flown by since I last shared their engagement photos.
Erin and Lamar were married on February 25, 2012 at the Wayfarer’s Chapel. What a beautiful and picturesque mountain top setting right by the water in Rancho Palos Verdes!
The party was a blast. Some of the highlights include the father daughter dance, shot time, and the best mans speech. The best man was caught crying a bit, but, I think that whole room was tearing up. The speech was emotional and sweet, while being entertaining. A few laughs were had.
Wishing you both a life full of love, laughter, and adventure!

If you can’t tell from the photos, Alex & Jason are quite the sports fans! These two met in high school and have not only kept a friendship through their college years… they got engaged just a few weeks ago! When we met at Union Station in Los Angeles, Jason was ready for action with a football in hand. What about Alex, you say? She was ready to play against any team in her dress and heels!
It’s always fun to shoot photos of animated people. Whether throwing a football, or just up for anything fun, it always makes my day to look through photos I know you’ll be happy with.
And by the way, did you see that ring?! Wowza! You did good, Jason!
Congratulations and see you both at the wedding!

Just a quick post!
I wanted to congratulate Sima & Brett on getting married recently! I shot a few photos of them a week before the wedding at their house in Los Angeles. They are ridiculously adorable together. Brett had a moment where he had football on the mind. It was too funny. Sima, you are insanely photogenic! Oh, and ummmm… look at the size of that rock! WOW!
Congratulations!

Steve you are an AMAZING photographer. Thank you for capturing our love. xoxo
Very cool, one of my favorite couples! Go Flyers….I mean Coyotes!:)
Those were beyond cute. Miss you guys!
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…
Marlena & Lawrence met in college. These two are hilarious to watch. Lawrence has an off-beat humor of sorts, and Marlena has a strict but humorous way of dealing with the child inside him. The only thing to do is stand back, watch, and laugh.
Star Wars, comic books, and general ridiculousness and adult temper tantrums… these are all things Marlena has signed up for
I received a phone call with the details on the wedding just 2 weeks before the event. I jumped at the chance to shoot this wedding at a bed and breakfast in Satellite Beach, Florida.
The Windamere Bed and Breakfast was fantastic! Serving up tea times with delicious treats and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies was just the icing on the cake. Thats right… I went straight for the cookies!
This was an excellent set up for photos just feet from the beach, as well as the perfect indoor setting in multiple rooms for family photos and portraits.
A general tip. Bring your iPhone or iPad with you if you stay here. The stars at night are incredible! I’d share the photos, but you have to see it for yourself!
Congratulations you two! May the force be with you.

Ingredients:
Wine, Beach, Newly Engaged Couple. The perfect recipe for an engagement shoot!
Last weekend, I had the privilege of shooting Erin & Lamar’s engagement photos near the exact location where the proposal took place. Lamar has had some modeling and acting experience in the past, while Erin has not. Needless to say, Lamar was extremely comfortable in front of the camera. Too comfortable
Erin was a natural! I think the end result clearly shows that Lamar was upstaged.
Congratulations! See you at the wedding!

When we got the phone call to shoot this video 3 days before the wedding, we jumped at it! Heidi & Kevin were fun from the get go! As a guest in their party, you could really feel the love they share between them. Their party made it easy to grab those emotional moments.
We couldn’t get enough of Heidi & Kevin, so we hand delivered the DVD to them! It was a special moment for us to see how excited they were to see their wedding day on DVD for the first time. High fives and hugs!

One can not express in words how astounding these two gentlemen truly are.
Initially for our wedding we only wanted a photographer and did not think that a videographer would be necessary. We decided within a few weeks of the wedding to book a videographer and 3 days before the wedding they bailed. In doing so they led us to The Brides and The Bees. That same day Steve drove to our house to meet with my wife and I. We got great vibes about their work and professionalism and decided to book them right away.
On the wedding day we did not even notice them. They were like video ninjas, getting spectacular shots and exercising their creativity all while camouflaging into the background.
Not too long after the honeymoon, the gentlemen at The Brides and the Bees hand delivered the final product to our door. Not only was the video hand delivered, (what videographers would actually do that, these did) but they customized the packaging to fit our wedding colors as well. The way this video is shot and composed completely captures the mood and essence of our wedding day. Whenever we watch our wedding on tape, it brings back all the emotions, feelings, and shear happiness of our special day. The best part is that day can be relived and shared over and over again for years to come.
These skilled professionals are reliable and offer creativity and style in capturing one of the most important days of your life. If you have a wedding coming up, my wife and I highly encourage you to hire The Brides and The Bees to shoot the video for your wedding. Don't let your wedding fly away, book the bees today.
