  • This reception took place at the Wilshire Ebell Theater off of Wilshire near Crenshaw. I was very hesitant to use the song "Let's get it started" by the Black Eyed Peas. It was, however, the song that the bride and groom came out during, which meant they probably would associate the song with that moment. I hestitate to use mainstream and trendy songs that may be worn out as time goes by. Just imagine the regret if you had a wedding video with the Macarena in it.

    One amazing moment with the footage that I gained from that day included Peggy singing the lyrics to their first dance, a beautiful piece by Norah Jones ("Those sweet words"). So whenever I see a moment like this, I take the chance to create something artistic and genuine. I overlayed a montage of intimate clips from the day to blend in with Peggy singing, using a full version of the song instead of the recorded audio. This actually brought tears to Peggy's eyes, which means I'm stoked that I did a good job!
