  • About Us

    Jennifer Mae: "I am a graduate of UC Berkeley with a BA in Film and Media Studies. Photography and Video have been a passion of mine since I was only 11 years old. The thing that I love most about shooting weddings, is getting to know the couples and becoming friends in the process!

    Chris: "I am also a graduate of UC Berkeley with a BA in Film and Media Studies. I have worked in the entertainment industry for as long as I can remember. The thing that I love most about shooting weddings, may sound pretty cliche, but it's true. I love capturing one of the happiest days in someone's life."

  • Why do we shoot weddings?

    We love weddings! Everything about them! Each experience to us is fresh, new and exciting. We are definitely not the company that you hire if you are looking for someone to show up and hit record. Our passion is story telling and that is exactly what we do... Tell your story. We understand what it feels like to go through the process of a wedding :-) as we are a husband wife team and we have been there ourselves! One of the most important things in you coming together is that you are both individuals and we look for the unique qualities that make you fit perfectly as a couple! A wedding is much more than saying "I do". It is many days, months and in most cases many years in the making. We put as much love into capturing your day as you have put into creating it! We love working with couples who are as passionate about us capturing their wedding as we are :-) We would love to hear about your big day!

This is the film I recently blogged about. It was written, cast, shot, edited and scored in 48 hours. Our cast did a wonderful job..

We sure hope you enjoy it..

much love

    Chris Harden - Hey Guys,

    That was a real treat. Nice production work nice acting and writing from the creative team. My favorite has to be the granddad asking everyone to wish him luck before he takes the big plunge – fabulous opener to a cute story. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks for sharing ๐Ÿ™‚
    Chris

We have been hard at work this summer and haven’t been able to keep up with our blog. So here are a few updates:

We just launched a new site! We love it! However, we are still working on adding our videos and such, but it is up and running and has some great new features. I am sure you will like it.

You can click the image to go directly there.

In addition, we now have the Canon 5D Markii! I have to say that it is our prize possession. The color is phenomenal and the clarity is brilliant! We have begun adding our new photographs and video to the new site. The photos of the kids are amazing!!! If you want to check them out look in our gallery under “Kids” But there is more to come as soon as we can upload.

This past weekend we worked on the 48 Hour Film Project here in Los Angeles. It was such a great time. We worked with a director named Joe Jung. Both Chris and I wrote the script Friday night. Then on Saturday we both worked as Director of Photography. Sunday Chris did a killer intro using footage I shot (Saturday) on of one of our main actors, Mike Muscat, jumping out of a plane! Talk about scary. I had to wear a parachute “Just in case” The Pilot Kent Lane made that all possible. After the 4 jumped, Kent took me safely back to Santa Monica airport, which was not where he was meant to go. Thanks Kent. You Rock!

This is most of us at the screening of our film Tuesday night.

Anyway, we were able to work with some really talented kids – Dylan, Tyler, Brenden, James, Tre’ and Patrick. Each one contributed something special and had their own uniqueness. They were such troopers in the hot valley sun.

This is Dylan – he was our lead and played Andy -This is a movie still from the film.

This is Daniel – he played Baba AKA Dad – This is a movie still from the film.

This is Patrick – his character was Cherub Boy

This is Tyler – he played Tommy

Mike up in the plane before he jumped

Mike – as Alex Filbert AKA Grandpa

This is James – he played Frankie – This is a movie still from the film and features Brenden and Tyler.

This is Tre’- he played Sammy

This is Brendon – he played Billy “The Bully”

Patrick just playing his guitar and harmonica

We will be posting the actual film that we shot within the next few days. The photos in this blog are of our wonderful cast…

Much love

First of all I would love to say congratulations to Jennifer and Blumes. They are about to welcome “baby Tracy” into the world. I had the honor of sharing in their baby shower and this is a little something I put together for them. Jennifer is one of the most special women I know. She is a light and a role model for many women. One of the women I admire most in this world. Soon Jen and Blumes will get to meet their new baby boy and I have to say that he is definitely one lucky boy. I send my love and I hope you enjoy their video.

much love

This has to have been one of the most special weddings we have ever done.

We have known Billy for nearly 10 years and Martina since they began dating. The day we met her we knew she was the one for Billy.

We were so proud and honored to have the privilege of shooting their most special day. Their love is so deep and their commitment to one another is undeniable. Martina is a generous soul and one of the most kind women I have ever met. Billy is one of the most loyal and courteous gentlemen I know. Together they are magic.

Chris and I love them very much and want to share their trailer with you.

Much love
