A Wedding in Long Beach, CA
California, weddings August 21st, 2008It was beautiful but it was tough. What an excellent experience “roughing it out” and shooting guerilla.
I missed my four person crew but I guess I wouldn’t have it any other way. The Wayfarer’s Chapel was everything I imagined shooting in the US would be - very, very, very strict. No cameras were allowed anywhere near the altar, the closest you could get was 20 feet. It was all good though in the end.

I couldn’t have pulled off the SDE without Loyd and Hazel. Thanks for the Glidecam, the second angles and driving me to the Reef.
Maybe I was down four persons, but the response at the end of the preview was fourfold in return. And thanks to Henry for giving the oppurtunity to shoot Michelle and Hadji’s wedding.

Jason… it was amazing to watch you work and to experience one of your Same Day Edits firsthand. The entire audience was in awe (including me)! Thanks for the opportunity to help out. Bravo, my friend, bravo. Hope you had a great time in the U.S.
I had a fabulously awesome time. Thank you again for helping me out. Next time … Hazel drives! Lol, sorry couldn’t help it.

Jason, Michelle and I couldn’t stop thanking you and admiring the great work you did on our wedding day. Everyone in that room at that night was all at awe. I meant, every single one. But with your knowledge and skills, Michelle and I believed you could pull something great inspite all the chapel’s strictness and being short staff. We couldn’t ask for a better video than this especially on our wedding day. With you and Henry/Irving all together, the video and pictures was the last thing we worry on that day. We came back from Bora-Bora and we’re watching our video together. Good job and thank you from the very bottom of our hearts. See you soon.
rebel without a crew ang dating ah! galing!
Hadji.
It was such a pleasure doing your wedding. And I have to thank you for being such wonderful hospitable hosts. You and your family. It felt like I never left home.
Take care guys!
Dear Jason, I’m inlove with your work!!! I never thought I would want to get married this badly until I saw your videos. Are you accepting US shoots now? How do we go about it? ~L
