Traci and Brandon

This is the wedding day highlights from Traci and Brandon's wedding. Their wedding shows why we love to witness a couple's "first moment". We love to see the groom's eyes light up, or even better, tear up! On a lighter note, I love the shot of the bridal party shooting down Traci and Brandon after they entered into the reception - they were completely shocked, as I think everyone was! As always, we had a great time working with their photographers from Love Story Weddings. Congratulations Traci and Brandon!!!

Keri and Eldon

This is the wedding day highlights from Keri and Eldon's wedding at the Halekulani. A very memorable moment in their wedding was when Eldon sang a surprise song to Keri during the reception. It was very moving, especially since he has a really good voice (I don't think Janice would have appreciated if I would have sung to her on our wedding - she probably would have ran away along with the entire audience). The couple had Chris Labang from On 3 Photography, as well as Shawnee Hammer as their coordinator and the hilarious Gregg Hammer as their MC. Congratulations Keri and Eldon!!!

Tricia & Manny

I don't even know where to start in talking about Tricia and Manny. They have to be one of the most unique and fun couples we have ever had the chance to be around. They have sooooooo much personality, and their wedding was truly memorable. I think I'm going to have to put a R-Rating on their video, or at least a "Parental Advisory" sticker on the cover! Tricia was in the bridal party of one of our former couples, Shawnie and Nathan. Since then, we have gotten to know them quite well in the past year, so we were really exicted to see them tie the knot. I love Manny's reaction to seeing Tricia in her dress for the first time! Another shot I loved was the one where the guys had "their teeth" in, because the girls had no idea until they turned around. We also had a great time working with Love Story Weddings, as always. Congratulations Tricia and Manny!!!

Angie & Jon

Here is our second Ceremony Highlights for May 23, 2009. Jon and Angie are such a sweet couple. We first got to meet them at Jon's sisters wedding last year, but today was their turn. One of my favorite shots of the day was their first moment. When Jon turned around and saw Angie for the first time, he had the biggest smile on his face. I could tell how much he loved and adored her. They had a fabulous team of vendors that worked well together and helped create their dream wedding. They choose the Halekulani as their venue, Mark Nomura as their photographer, Always Flowers, and The DJ- Tony So. Thank you so much for choosing us to capture your special day. You both have a special place in our hearts.

Shannon & Chris

This is the ceremony highlights from the wedding of Shannon and Chris. They were married at the Hale Koa Hotel in the Luau Gardens. Shannon and Chris are one of those couples that you can tell right away they belong together. They just have a certain look that you can feel how much they love each other. We had a great time working with their photographers, Love Story Weddings, as well as their MC, Augie T. Congratulations Shannon and Chris!!!

Sukhi & Gordy

This is the ceremony highlights from tonight's wedding of Sukhi and Gordy. They were married at the beautiful Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore. This was our first Indian wedding, and it was a lot of fun. It is always fun to experience a wedding from another culture, and Sukhi and Gordy's was no exception. Inside the pavilion, you must remove your shoes, as well as cover your head. It was a lot of fun, and we are so grateful to have been a part of their special day. Thank you Sukhi and Gordy!!!

Melanie & Michael

This is the ceremony highlights as played at the reception of Melanie and Michael. Their ceremony was held at United Church of Christ, and the reception followed at the Hale Koa. This was a very beautiful church, made even more beautiful by the fact that it was air conditioned! Since the majority of our summer weddings occur outdoors, we definitely appreciate A/C when we get it! Melanie and Michael are such a beautiful couple, and they both have such sweet personalities. We had a great time working with their photographers from Dulce, as well as their DJ, Tony So from TheDJ Hawaii. Thank you Melanie and Michael!!!

Jan and Matt

This was a very special wedding for me to be a part of, because Matt and I have been friends since Intermediate School. I got a chance to see a bunch of my old friends that (unfortunately) I haven't seen in a while. The only thing I didn't enjoy about this wedding was the drive to get there. It took me over 3 hours to get there from the Ihilani (coming from another wedding), because this was the day the gas truck overturned on the freeway. It was a nightmare, but luckily I made it there in time. They did an exceptional job of planning their wedding, especially since they only had a few months to plan. I love the shot of the 2 girls fighting for the bouquet! It's funny because sometimes everyone runs from it, and other times they fight for it. Congratulations Jan and Matt!!!

Mei & John

This is the ceremony highlights from Mei and John's wedding. Their ceremony was held at the Anela Gardens Chapel, and the reception followed at the Ala Moana Hotel. This wedding was different from the average wedding for us, mainly because they had the Chinese games. Basically, the poor groom has to prove his love by performing whatever is asked of him by the bridesmaids. They made him eat a Wasabi sandwich, as well as a few other things I'd rather not mention! After it was over, I gave Janice a big hug and thanked her for not making me do anything like that when we got married (she is half Chinese). If I had to eat a Wasabi sandwich, I doubt Video 21 Productions would have ever been created!!!

Pam and Reynold

Pam and Reynold had a beautiful wedding at the Anela Gardens Chapel and the Hale Koa, and we are so glad to have been a part of it. We loved Pam's Visor veil, and we loved even more when Reynold lifted it up for their first kiss! It got a huge roar of laughter from the audience. The reception had some hilarious speeches and toasts, which kept everyone entertained. As always, we had a great time working with their photographers from Love Story Weddings. Congratulations Pam and Reynold!!!

Keri and Larry

This is the wedding day highlights from Keri and Larry's wedding. They were married at the Holy Trinity Church in Hawaii Kai, and their reception followed at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. What a crazy garter toss, but luckily everyone was okay! I might have to start recommending children to wear helmets for the bouquet & garter tosses, because we've seen it get pretty rough. We had a great time working with our photographer friends from Dulce. Congratulations Keri and Larry!!!

Debbie and Shane

This is the Wedding Day Highlights from Debbie and Shane's wedding. They were married at the Saint John Vianney Church in Kailua, and their reception followed at Pacific Beach Hotel. It was a very rainy day in paradise, so we were happy their wedding was indoors! Thankfully, the raid stopped enough for the couple to have a great photo shoot at the Post Office with their photographer, Love Story Weddings. Once we got to the reception, Teley B from Showtime DJ's really made it a party, as only he can do! I could have easily made a highlights video from the reception alone, as there were tons of memorable moments. Congratulations Debbie and Shane!!!

Maile & Craig

This is the ceremony highlights from Maile and Craig's wedding. Their ceremony was held at the Anela Gardens Chapel, and the reception followed at the Hale Koa. I love all the crying and smiling that took place at their wedding, it is truly what makes a great video. We had a great time working with their coordinator, Shari Dang, as well as their photographers, Love Story Weddings. Congratulations Maile and Craig!!!
