All because two people met at a gym- a beautiful start to Sacha and Emrin’s love story. In fact, it was at their very first interaction at the gym that Sacha knew he had just met the future Mrs. Mount. Three days of wedding festivities to celebrate the union of two different cultures, this luxury multicultural wedding incorporated a Sikh wedding and Jewish wedding, and left all the guests in absolute awe. The first day of wedding festivities kicked off with the pre-wedding ceremonies including the choora and chunni ceremony, the sangeet, and the jaggo. As wedding cinematographers, pre-wedding ceremonies are always a favorite to film because we get to capture the genuine emotion shared as both families exchange blessings and love for each other. Even more so, it was especially exciting to film the reactions of the groom’s Jewish family as they participated in the Sikh pre-wedding events. Colorful pastes, stunning jewelry, along with traditional songs and dances, the first day truly set the joyful, upbeat tone for this multicultural wedding. The second day consisted of the Sikh wedding at the stunning Deshmesh Darbar Sikh Temple in Lodi, CA. This incredible temple featured gorgeous golden details as well as stunning florals along the Gurdwara altar and even in the fountains outside of the temple! The Anand Karaj, the Sikh marriage ceremony, incorporated many of the traditional aspects of Indian weddings and the most important - the four laavaan. 4 vows between the married couple sung as hymns as the couple walk around the sacred scripture. The seriousness in the room was evidently clear as the families watched the bride and groom take these sacred steps. Upon completing the fourth round, the bride and groom were now considered man and wife- a bond meant to last forever. But for our groom, even forever is not enough! “I’ve always known, ever since I met you, I want to spend forever with you. And forever is not long enough!” -Sancha, groom. The Jewish wedding took place on the third and final day at Emrin’s father’s stunning property, Dhatt Family Estate. This...

With a Sikh wedding at the stunning San Jose Gurdwara in 2020 and a Catholic wedding at the breathtaking Hacienda’s De Las Flores wedding venue in 2021, this multicultural wedding film will immerse you in a love that will last a lifetime. Two weddings over the course of two years celebrating two cultures and one happy marriage - that is the kind of wedding celebration fitting Aman and Maica. Classy, elegant, and beautiful, both wedding celebrations were sights to see. As wedding videographers, filming multicultural weddings is a favorite because we get to capture guests from both cultures combine to celebrate one love. The traditions, decorations, and reactions are incredibly rewarding to capture so that the bride and groom can relive those fleeting moments from their wedding day. The Sikh wedding took place close to home at the stunning San Jose Gurdwara located in the evergreen hills of San Jose, California. This 40 acre property has beautiful views of the bay making for the perfect venue to celebrate a Sikh wedding. What made the wedding even more intimate was the story behind the bridal Lengha. The bride’s mother in law flew all the way to India (right before Covid hit) to get the wedding attire and jewelry for the bride which made capturing the details all the more intimate and important. All in all, it was a beautiful wedding and a great way to celebrate 2020. A year later, the bride and groom hosted their Catholic wedding at the beautiful Hacienda’s De Las Flores wedding venue in Moraga, California. This spanish-styled estate embodied garden weddings with large grassy lawns, a beautiful patio with a central fountain, and stunning landscaped gardens. The bride’s western dress from Flares Bridal perfectly fit with the theme. The morning of the wedding, we secretly filmed a message from the groom and uploaded the message to The Motion Books (a wedding video book) to gift to the bride as she got ready. Needless to say, Maica was definitely surprised and even almost cried when she opened the book at watched her handsome Groom woo her! Not...

Traveling all around the country, I have seen some of the most spectacular wedding venues but I always love when a couple presents us with a new location or a different twist in their wedding. As a wedding videographer, new locations are always exciting and sometimes challenge me in different ways. When Levi and Bethany contacted me to film their very small wedding (some might even call it an elopement), I was so excited that they said it would take place outdoors, along the seaside bluffs of Mendocino California. I have driven past this part of the coast before and saw how beautifully the ocean and the bluffs all meshed together to create a very serene setting. Also, it was quite perfect that the bride, being a designer, had a great eye for natural beauty. What usually looked like undeveloped and rugged bluffs to most, was transformed into an elegant and timeless sensation to become the perfect venue for the two love birds to exchange their vows in the most intimate of settings. Every detail, no doubt planned by the bride months ahead, was molded to focus on the love the couple shared for each other, surrounded by their parents and siblings. Even their vegan lifestyle was reflected and celebrated on their big day! The two met back in 2012 while attending UPenn just around Valentine’s Day. During the last 6 years, their love has blossomed and as Levi put it, they “are entirely capable independently, but 100% better together.” They have discovered so many great qualities in one another and the two fit together like a “matching puzzle piece.” Levi popped the question around their five-year anniversary, surrounded by close friends, and soon after, they started planning their perfect wedding day. Levi and Bethany wanted to share their big day with a small and intimate crowd and something about exchanging their “I dos” on the cliffs that overlooked the Pacific Ocean made that moment significantly more in tune with nature. The couple both stressed their love for Mother Earth and wanting to capture more of that, we made a...
