Prety and Shak's Wedding Movie Poster Design

After weeks and weeks of ugly weather here in Sacramento, the rain finally went away the day I shot Prety and Shak's movie trailer and short photo shoot for their movie poster. I started designing the poster as soon as my schedule let me and I can't wait to show everyone the movie trailer/save the date for their upcoming wedding. That should be on the blog soon enough as well! In the meantime, enjoy this little eye candy from moi!

2010 Artistic Imagery Promo Video

Alan here, It's that time of the year again where we do a little bit of promotion to start off the new year. We've been very fortunate to start 2010 with a record number of signings. Far more that we had ever anticipated. (Yay!) There are still a few spots available for the 2010 wedding season and 2011 is very much open.

Once again, Amber and I will be attending California's largest bridal fair at Cal Expo this coming Sunday, January 10. We usually show our promo video at the bridal showcase and during a client meeting but what's the point of showing it then since most of our brides and grooms have seen every inch of our blog and website by the time they call us! He he he. We don't want to torture them even more by making them view more work! So here it is, Artistic Imagery's 2010 Promo Video:

Congratulations Denise and Rich!

Amber and I spent our first day of 2010 in fine Artistic Imagery fashion, we filmed a wedding! We had a blast filming our first wedding with a bonus instant gratification short that was shown during dinner. We also got to hang out with Brian Khang Photography and his wonderful crew who shot the stills for the bride and groom. Overall, it was a wonderful way to kick off the year and fortunately, this isn't the last of our 2010 Southern CA weddings. We've got quite a few lined up and being in a venue that we've never shot since we mainly shoot in Northern CA has been a great and refreshing experience. Here's Rich and Denise's same day edit, enjoy!

Congratulations Emilie and David!

A few weeks ago, Emilie and Dave had their outdoor ceremony and indoor reception on a gorgeous sunny day at the American River Resort. This was my first time at that location and it was an awesome site surrounded by nature. This was also my first venture into Super 8 filming. I must tell you that I'm addicted to the vintage chic look and I can't wait to shoot my next one! I even purchased a better super 8 camera with more manual control and a better lens.

Emilie and Dave were so great to work with. All I needed to do was just sit back and observe. Not much direction needed, they were naturals in front of the camera! All the younger kids were wondering what I was holding in my hands and why my camera is making all that noise! The older crowd on the other hand, told me some pretty cool stories on how they used to film their kids back in the day and it was refreshing to see that old cameras are still being used today.

A Chinese/Vietnamese Wedding

This is it. It's been a long time coming, one of my favorite weddings of 2009. Thu and Reagan sure know how to party! Even though it was a long day for everyone with a tea ceremony, 100 degree weather, a catholic ceremony, and a kick ass reception at a local Chinese restaurant, The newlyweds were such awesome troopers through it all.... just to get the shot! There were so much good footage that I could've easily make their summary 5 minutes long (my summaries are usually 3-4 minutes). But this one's even better, it's five minutes and 1 second! Thank you Thu and Reagan for letting us into your lives on this wonderful day. Here's their wedding summary, Enjoy!

Sheila and Ari's Wedding Film Summary

I can't believe the year's almost over and what a great way to end it with Sheila and Ari's wedding at the gorgeous Saint Francis Church in downtown Sacramento and the Marriott Hotel on Sunrise Blvd. Sheila and Ari definitely had an awesome wedding complete with a live band, dove release, a church choir and traditional Filipino Folk Dances to top off the evening. Less talking and more watching! Here's Sheila and Ari's wedding summary:

Jen and Terry's Wedding Summary

Alan here, I'm not really much of a country music fan, but Jen and Terry's first dance, a country song, fit the bill for their wedding summary! These two lovebirds got married in the beautiful Silverado Resort in Napa. An easy going couple with a beautiful and laid back wedding, a perfect blend for an artistic imagery film. Enjoy!

Vierra Family Portrait

Yesterday, Amber and I braved the cold weather with the Vierra Family of West Sacramento. If any of the background scenes look familiar, they were taken at Dave's Pumpkin Patch and during the month of December, it transforms into a Christmas Tree Farm! If you haven't gotten your Christmas Tree already, this is the place to get a great quality tree!

I seriously wanted to spend more time with them but the cold am winter weather called for spending more time indoors rather than outside. I could barely feel the trigger on my camera! Luckily, Erin was able to lend me her gloves for the last part of the shoot. I'm so glad the pics didn't come out blurry from my sh sh shakiness. Thanks Erin! I hope everyone out there is staying warm this winter. Here are the faves from the shoot....
