Isle Media's 2013 Christmas Party!

On Monday, the Isle Media team, along with some friends and family, got together for our annual Christmas dinner at Bucca Di Beppo! It was a nice time for everyone to come together to enjoy some great food and company :) Also on the event's agenda was a pretty competitive Jeopardy Game, featuring trivia about Isle Media, as well as a hilarious Dirty Santa gift game :)

Merry Christmas and New Year from us all at Isle Media!

Shar and Danny Same-Day-Edit + Surprise Music Video!!! (Willows/Bishop Museum, Honolulu)

Shar and Danny Same-Day-Edit + Music Video Surprise (Willows/Bishop Museum, Honolulu) from Isle Media on Vimeo.

"I DOOOOOOOO"  Danny groaned at the ceremony (followed by tremendous laughter from everyone).  Danny was definitely more at home as soon as he jumped on his Harley, packing Shar clad in her wedding dress on the back  : )   We witnessed some unbelievable singing, dancing, and ukelele performances from the entire Carilllo Ohana!   Only fitting that we would surprise Shar and Danny's entire reception with adebut of Shar's first music video "Please Come Home for Christmas."   Danny, you got yourself a keeper!!!  But Shar said it best at the end of the night, "There would be no Shar Carillo without Danny."  He will always and forever be her biggest fan.

Congratulations Shar and Danny!

Whitney and Lam Same-Day-Edit (Hale Koa, Waikiki)

Whitney and Lam were so cute together.  I couldn't help but feel how excited they were to be finally be getting married.  We utilized the famous Hale Koa Banyan Tree, because we couldn't ignore the gorgeous light leaks that came through the canopy.  Whitney and Lam's bridal party did a little ninja showdown before heading down to the ceremony at Manoa Chapel.  We really enjoyed the intimacy of having the ceremony in such a small space.  Great job to the pianist, btw!  If you look carefully towards the end, we paired the cake topper with the finishing shot.  : )

Congratulations!

Ashlee and Aden's After Wedding Party

After their wedding reception Ashlee and Aden invited us to tag along with them to their after party at the Surfer bar in Turtle Bay.  They partied all night with all of their friends and family and were entertained by a performance from "The Dan Band."  If you don't know the Dan Band watch the Hang Over (first one), they're the band performing at the wedding reception.  We don't normally get to party with our couples so this was definitely a treat for us.

Kathy and Derek Married!

Kathy and Derek are one of the couples that strongly believed in us early on, booking us over a year and a half ago! The couple got ready at the Trump Hotel, where there was no shortage of funny moments and laughter :) The wedding took place at the Hale Koa Luau Gardens, where the couple, in the interests of simplicity, had one of the shortest ceremonies we've ever seen at a wedding lol. Kathy and Derek had a full house of guests at the reception, who were all able to look on at memorable moments, from the funny stories about Derek in high school, to the "cake feeding." Hehe.

Congrats you two!

Berna and Mike Married!

What I loved the most about Berna and Mike's wedding was the fun that everyone had throughout the day.  It was really heartfelt to see them in enjoyment and just being themselves.  There were so many awesome moments where they kept on joking around it made their photos and Same Day Edit that much more great.

Biaca and Joe Wedding Highlights (Sunset Ranch, Pupukea)

Bianca and Joe were so classy! They had impeccable taste from the decor to their music choices. It was so heartwarming to see these two (very comical) families come together all the way in Hawaii. It was clear that there were many people that cared very deeply about Bianca and Joe. We were surprised with an ultra fiery, intense sunset, that peaked through the clouds finishing off their incredible day. Thank you for a memorable wedding Bianca and Joe!

Congratulations!

Valerie and Alan Wedding Highlights! (Hyatt, Waikiki)

Valerie and Alan Wedding Highlights (Hyatt, Waikiki) from Isle Media on Vimeo.

Valerie and Alan called me just a few weeks before their wedding. Sometimes, its not until the very last minute people realize that videography is something that is of importance. No problem! We were happy to have been chosen for their big day. Valerie and Alan's wedding was planned all in Waikiki. Hytatt >> St. Augustine Church >> Kapiolani Park >> back to the Hyatt. We really enjoyed shooting on the outdoor terrace of the Hyatt with the ocean right below the reception. Everything was beautiful!

Congratulations Valerie and Alan!

Charzelle and James Married!

Charzelle and James got married at Laie Temple with their friends and family waiting anxiously to see these to come out of their sealing ceremony.  There is a first time for everything; considering that not just anyone is allowed into a Mormon Sealing Ceremony, it was really cool to be outside and in anticipation of seeing Charzelle and James exit the temple as husband and wife with everyone that came.  In a different way of welcoming a couple into their new chapter in life together.  That's something that will always stay with me.
