Sometimes when we are filming, there are those moments where you go, “wow, that was awesome”. In the case of Melissa + Eduardo, that moment came during the Best Man’s toast. Ramon decided to explain Melissa + Eduardo’s story in a very simple, broken down fashion that was so effective, it became the driving narrative for this trailer.
When we met with Melissa + Eduardo, one thing that stood out is their calm and laid back feel.Calm. Cool. Collected. They are so easy going, so we choose the song in this trailer for its easy going nature.
They decided to have their reception at the Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach and it couldn’t have fit these two and their personalities any better. Horses are calm.cool.collected. As Melissa + Eduardo walked through the stables, the energy just fit the setting. As the shave ice refreshed the guests (Melissa’s family’s business), the tasty barbecue dinner filled the bellies. And what better way to work off dinner than with salsa lessons?
A very special thank you to Jesi Haack from Jesi Haack Weddings. Creativity doesn’t begin to do this girl justice. If you are even considering a DIY style party, call Jesi. Enough said.
Also, sincere thanks to Amelia Lyon from Amelia Lyon Photography for being uber-easy to work with and for helping to setup some really great imagery!
Congratulations to Melissa + Eduardo and we sincerely thank you for your generosity, love, and faith in our work. . . . and the shave ice 🙂 Enjoy!
