Briana + Howard SDE

Prior to Briana and Howards wedding, I was was working with Stillmotion, in San Diego shooting for the NFL. I flew back to SF Friday morning at 8am. Ivan picked me up, we had breakfast at one of his favorite spots. We arrived about an hour early as we normally do to get some cool broll/establishing shots out side the hotel. Mike covered the guys prep at the W while Ivan and I covered the ladies prep at Parc 55.

The ceremony took place at one of my favorite wedding locations (redwood grove) in Berkeley CA. One of the fastest ceremonies, only being about 10 minutes long with good reason.. It was cold and about to pour.. After the ceremony Ivan and Mike headed to the reception to convert and start chopping the footage as I got some shots of the bridal party and bride/groom enjoying time together..

The reception took place at the Brazilian room, two thumbs down for this place. The event coordinator for the building denied us plugging into the sound board because we are not a loud into the kitchen.. I later found out that the sound board wasn’t even in the kitchen. They also wouldn’t give us a table for editing, we had to edit sitting on the ground and used a chair as our tables.. I like to try to make the best of every situation so we just put a lav on all the people that made speeches..

The after party – Ivan and I went to XYZ with Briana, Howard and their entourage.. That was our first, going to a club with our wedding clients.. We had a blast, got some great footage, guest commentary and ended up being photographers for the night ahaha.
