Jasmine and David: Umbrella (not Rihanna’s)
Santuario de San Jose, weddings July 14th, 2008(My friend John Rana of WeddingsatWork has always had a thing for this song. Well it took me me all of eight months after his blogpost to cave in.)
We were about to leave for Sanctuario de San Jose when the rain came pouring in - an idea popped up.
“Jasmine, I have this ultra rare, never heard of version of Umbrella by Rihanna, let’s give it a go.”
With full trust, she acceded. It was bonus when I learned later that whenever they would go somewhere, rain would follow. How’s that for leit motif?

Check out the Umbrella version by Scott Simons. That one is good too. If you can’t find it, let me know, and I’ll send it to you.

The Film Look makes perfect combination with the name, music, and especially rain.
Jason, as always, a video really fantastic

Thanks guys for the responses!
Chris, it was a toss up between Scott Simons and this one. I almost used that one but photographer Dino Lara (and my wife) opted for this. =)

Hey J -
I am with you brother about that Rhianna song! I could not stand it for the life of me. But hearing the version you used for this video…sheesh…i ‘ve swallowed my pride and have joined the bandwagon!
i do have to say that, the version of this song alone is great…but how it was used in your video…dude, beyond words! seriously! too awesome!
great job!

takare! and congrats on austin and nyc! wahoo!
