August 18, 2010 | Filed Under Elysium Productions | Leave a Comment
The culmination of the Elysium three week destination wedding travel ended with Emily and John's gorgeous wedding at the St. Regis Resort on the beautiful island of Kaua'i. The island is home to Mount Waialeale, it's summit is the rainiest spot on Earth, yet the clouds parted and made for a spectacular day! This super fun three day event was planned and coordinated by none other than Carolyn Chen of The Special Day. Carolyn designed the perfect day from the beginning of the planning process, it seemed so ethereal, the all white design decor truly set the mood for the reception. We also had a great time shooting alongside our friend Aaron Delesie, who I'm sure captured some amazing images. Emily and John's wedding events were a blast to shoot and their awesome crowd of family and friends made it that much better. Take a peek into Emily and John's special day with their Same Day Edit and marvel at Emily's stunning Vera Wang wedding gown!

ROCKSTAR + LOVE = AWESOMENESS! // Beverly Hills Hotel
July 13, 2010 | Filed Under Elysium Productions | Leave a Comment
So I have to preface this post with an admission. I am 100% addicted to diet Diet Rockstar (the blue can). I drink one every morning and sometimes will drink another one on the way home from a late wedding. When were in NYC a few weeks back, I could not find Rockstar anywhere and I SWEAR I was going through withdrawls!! What does this have to do with this film you ask? Jason, the awesome groom, is a big-wig at the company. So I was secretly hoping they'd pay their balance in Diet Rockstar but alas, that didn't happen. HOWEVER... at a precise moment during the reception when the party was hopping, the doors to the ballroom opened and in came the waitstaff with trays of Rockstar Lemondrops!! How cool is that!?? And no... I didn't drink one (although I wanted to!)Anyway, this wedding is one for the books. It was just teaming with coolness. I love the couple's style and how the awesome team of vendors outdid themselves at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The floral designer who incorporated the cool peacock feathers was Sunny & her team at White Lilac and the fabulous planner was Michelle from Details Details. We also had a blast working with the ultra cool Joe Latter who took some rockin photographs that you can view here. All in all, a memorable wedding for sure! Check out their full Arthouse film:
