What a beautiful day!!! Maggie + Bert had such a fun wedding! It all started with prep over at the Mandarin oriental hotel in San Francisco. The ceremony took place in the lobby of the Merchants Exchange building. {this was the first time we were there} It was amazing how they transform the lobby into something magnificent.
Before we knew it, we were heading up the elevator to the Julia Morgan Ballroom on the 15th floor…. Maggie and Bert will tell you that the elevator didn’t want to cooperate. But finally after a few tries we got a really fun clip that transforms them from the night before as an engaged couple to their wedding night as husband and wife. {you will see it near the end of the Same Day Edit}
They had a live band called The Cheeseballs! sooo fun! Chris and I say that we are going to get married together again around our 10 year anniversary and one thing we will do differently is have a live band. Seriously, one of the most fun things at a wedding is a live band!
We also had the opportunity to work with Bootsy Hollar. She was such a doll!
The families and friends were really what made this day so special as we watched so much deep love and bonding happen throughout the day.
We hope you enjoy their day!
Peggy - As the MOB I can tell you that hiring Jennifer Mae and Chris was THE best choice I made throughout this year long process. It was a last minute decision to hire a videographer and I am so happy we did! Save on the food if you must but do hire this very talented young couple for your child’s wedding. As the parents we were caught in such a whirlwind the day of that my recollection is somewhat hazy. This allows me the luxury of living our daughter’s wedding day over and over again. We are thrilled with this marriage and this video. The fact that the opening scene features church bells is absolutely perfect. They got the solemnity of the ceremony and the rock and roll aspect of the reception! And while you are at it hire The Cheeseballs Band!
Patrick - What Major Diamond Productions has done is capture true love at its finest with the wedding of Maggie and Bert. As someone who has attended very few weddings, it was a fabulous day that was summarized by two adoring families coming together over the love of 2 individuals. Both the Henry’s and McGehee’s are wonderful people, and you couldn’t find a nicer couple. The stars have aligned for these two people–let’s hope that they are joined by a child in the next couple of years. The video was outstanding-and not surprising given the rave reviews. MDP is clearly at the top of its class in terms of videography for events. Thank you so much for capturing a truly captivating day. I wish Maggie and Bert a strong marriage in the future.
Emma Libby - I have never witnessed my best friend looking so breathtakingly beautiful as I did on this day. Bert, not to shabby yourself. Thank you Jennifer Mae & Chris for capturing the most precious of these moments on film.
Helen Howe Smith - We so enjoyed this memorable video of this SPECIAL DAY! As Maggie and her family have been treasured friends this is a real Keepsake…THANK YOU…..
Peggy - I don’t want to leave anyone out who made the evening so spectacular..ie..the musicians…we hired the Pacific Boychoir out of Oakland for the ceremony music..they were magical!
Courtney - What a beautiful wedding. Great video! I love the bride’s earrings. Where did she get them? I can’t wait to work with with Jennifer Mae and Chris this summer.
Lisa Flippo - Awesome Video!! from One MOB to another.. I ditto everything you said, they were the best decision we made, what a way to remember the day… beautiful wedding – beautiful memories you have to remember like this.. 🙂 My daughter’s wedding is posted right above this one. 😉
