We were so excited to be invited down La Quinta Resort & Club, nestled in the Santa Rosa Mountains in Palm Springs, CA to spend a few days enjoying this beautiful hotel & wonderful amenities.  While we were there we were able to catch up with Ralph Vick, Managing Director of La Quinta. And was able to give a little more history of this celebrity holiday hideway & give a sneak peak into the rooms and beautiful locations that work beautifully for a destination wedding. Enjoy!

We are truly obsessed with  the young talented Michael Gebben’s same day video edits! Shot with the new canon 5D & 7D camera’s at Hidden Lake Winery, in Aviston Illinois, this is beautifully shot and edited on the spot and shown to the bride & groom & guests the same night! Love!!

Kerla & Brock’s wedding at Dromoland Castle in Ireland was incredible!!!  Destination weddings tend to really bring everyone together as the events span several days and family and friends are really excited to be celebrating the wedding but also enjoying a little vacation.  Throw in some Guinness and Irish music in a little tavern for the rehearsal and it’s off to the races.  Love the bagpipes and the rose garden!  This video courtesy of Craig Macneill with Barnaby Draper Studios

The Bridal Bar and Angeleno Magazine hosted an amazing Masquerade Ball at the Petit Ermitage Hotel in West Hollywood, CA on November 17, 2009.  Designed by Cobalt Events , the extravagant ball had an all star team of industry vendors including Tic Tock Couture Florals,  Classic Party Rentals, Beautiful Day Photography, Laura Hooper Calligraphy, Custom Candy Buffet Bars, Plush Puffs,  Supernova String Quartet, and Madame Chocolat.

This is one of the coolest videos we have seen to date! This creative masterpiece is  brought to you by The Flashdance, the power house team of Max Wanger Photography , Our Labor or Love Photography, and ”Wedding Spinner” The Human  Jukebox aka Michael Antonia. When asked about their inspiration Michael explains  ” We are inspired by rad style, timeless music, unique design style and our photography captures the spirit of the subject.”  They got the crowd dancing all night at this late summer wedding  to Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin  Michael Jackson, and many more mashed together live.  We love that The Flashdance guys do something totally different and are down with their rad stylings.

The 3 1/2 hour wedding was edited and crammed into 1 1/2 minutes. It is a product of over a thousand (YES A THOUSAND) still pictures taken on a Canon 30D camera. It  is an awesome way to recap the night to friends and family whom attended and those who missed your Big Day.
