love * steph & andrew
rock * east meets west ceremony
awe * fantabulous reception

This was a day to remember – for us and for them. Ray has known Steph since he was in grade school and was absolutely stoked to be at the wedding. Steph and Andrew were showered with the love of their friends and family at one of the most amazing weddings we’ve had the privilege to witness. It was complete with surprise gifts, traditional lion dancers, rockin’ live music, a photobooth and candy buffet. With so much going for them we knew we just had to finish it with an SDE.

I was feeling pretty good up until right before the ceremony when we encountered a fatal mishap with one of our staple lenses at the church parking lot. Without skipping a beat, we shot the afternoon events and headed over to the hotel. By the time we finished filming the grand entrance at 7pm I was really starting to feel the crunch. I found a corner in the foyer and finished it just minutes before it debut on the huge 20×24 screen.

It was quite a challenge to pull off an SDE with just two people, but totally worth it. The look on their faces during the showing, the roar of 300 people when the lights came back on and the awesomeness that came after was definitely something we will remember. Steph & Andrew, thank you for sharing your special day with us so we can also share with everyone here.
