Rosalia & William - The Castaway Restaurant Burbank - April 12, 2008









We had a wonderful wedding on Saturday. We want to thank Rosalia and William for picking us to capture their video memories on their special day. Great couple. We were referred to them by another couple whom we also did their video around 3 years ago (thanks Chrissy & Joel - it was great seeing you guys again. You both looked great! Veronica thanks you for the margaritas, even though she was supposed to be working :)

We also had the opportunity to work with some old friends who are truly pros and made the day so much more enjoyable:

Photography was covered by Sir Harrison Photography. Rosie and Claudia - two lovely ladies who were a lot of fun to work with. Veronica and I had a blast! Veronica will surely be calling you guys!

MC services were provided by Elegance Elegancia. Albert, I mean it when I say you are the best MC I have ever seen : ) You make the night flow smooooooth!

Not to mention the great location - The Castaway Restaurant in Burbank - high on top of the mountains overlooking North Hollywood, Burbank and Glendale. It was a little hot but a clear, beautiful day.

Lastly, we had a surprise for the new married couple. We put together an SDE (Same Day Edit) - or how we like to refer to it as a "Wedding Day Recap." This is a basically a 3 - 5 min video of the days events that is shown THAT night during the reception. It's a lot of work. Timing and coordination is essential. I was very happy with the results. I chose "With You" by Chris Brown. Great song with great lyrics which I felt fit nicely with the emotions of the day and the footage. Showing this video on a 10 foot screen with 200 plus guests watching is beyond words. Very exciting!

Enjoy!

Robert and Veronica,

It was such a pleasure to see you both again. We were very happy that William and Lia chose Godina Video to capture a very important day in their lives. We love our friends dearly and are certain that they will be very pleased with your service. You two are truly a genuine and delightful couple and continue to blow us away with your creativity and superceding talents.

I love the new “SDE” feature and as I told Robert, “I want to get married again!! (to my hubby of course). We continue to refer Godina Video to family and friends and hope to see you (both) at another one of our family or friend’s event.

Warmest regards,

Joel and Christy Ordonez

First of all, we want to thank you for capturing the most important day of our lives. We must say, that when saw Chritsy, and Joels wedding video 3 yrs. ago we knew at that moment, we had to look no further, we had found exactly what we were looking for. Not only a videographer whom we felt comfortable with, but one who surpassed our expectations. I must say, on my wedding day I was very nervous worrying about if I would have lipstick on my teeth,or what if I would slip, and fall or say something dumb on the microphone LOL. But thank God the least of my worries was just knowing both of you would capture every moment that was important to William, and I. From the minute Robert left me a msg letting me know the SDE was posted on your blog, I have logged in at least 5 times a day, and I cry every time (I am going to need 5 boxes of tissue the day we see our wedding video LOL). You guys gave us the best suprise, we totally love it, but on top of that our 280+ guest were blown away with the SDE. My mother especially can not stop talking about it to her friends, but I dont blame her. Again we want to thank you Robert, and Veronica from the bottom of our hearts.

Rosalia and William Ruiz

P.S pencil us in for Sep,2014 for our daughters sweet 16 : )
