Speaking of snow, the confetti that was thrown at them (watch for it) as they recessed down the aisle was shocking to them - with its shimmery brilliance and pesky ability to stick to their clothes, they were sparkling the rest of the night!<br /><br /><a href="http://chrisschmittblog.com/">Chris Schmitt Photography</a> ran the photo end of things, wrapping up a great end to November!<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br /><br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8367677&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8367677&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/8367677">Lindsey + Justin // Las Posas Country Club Holiday Highlight</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1975636">Charles + Lauren Films</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Kelsey Lauren and David Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18168842623781104851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512148383032942329.post-29721533719988379652009-12-17T17:10:00.001-08:002009-12-17T17:18:36.527-08:00Kristen + Arvin // A 2 Day Indian + Vietnamese CelebrationTwo days, two cultures, parties and family celebrations from morning to night - sounds like another Charles Lauren Films weekend!

A few months ago I had an amazing weekend with Rick + Maria in Malibu! The pre-ceremony was at The Malibu Beach Inn at Carbon Canyon, which as we found out has many top name stars who frequent there- especially on wedding days!<br /><br />However; since we are wedding videographers and not paparazzi, it would be beneath us to disclose who we saw, but it was simply awesome! According to the "Star" we talked to she/he said that the <a href="http://www.malibubeachinn.com/">Malibu Beach Inn</a> is a way to get away from everyone constantly staring and gawking at you- yikes! They were also refreshed that we respected their privacy not to film them and thought that our bride looked beautiful! It's a gorgeous location and we can see why the best of the best chill out there! But enough of that-<br /><br />We then followed Rick and Maria to <a href="http://www.thesunsetrestaurant.com/">The Sunset Restaurant in Malibu</a>. We had the pleasure of working with <a href="http://www.occasiontoremember.com/">Occasions</a>, which if you don't already know is one of the best planning companies out there! The wedding ceremony was phenomenal and the party afterwards was simply fantastic! Rick's Dad actually hired the same singer to play who had played at his wedding- so everything came full circle! Here are a few highlights of the amazing wedding day- enjoy and Congratulations to Rick + Maria once more!<br /><br /><br /><br />Maria + Rick // Malibu, California from Charles + Lauren Films on Vimeo.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8072948&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff0179&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8072948&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff0179&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/8072948">Maria + Rick // Malibu, California</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1975636">Charles + Lauren Films</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p>Kelsey Lauren and David Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18168842623781104851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512148383032942329.post-65372716737351003682009-12-01T12:31:00.000-08:002009-12-01T12:49:38.198-08:00Pavlina + Ted // 10.17.09 // Wedding Highlights<object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7913662&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff0179&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7913662&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff0179&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/7913662">Pavlina + Ted // 10.17.09 // Wedding Highlights</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1975636">Charles + Lauren Films</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><br /></span></p><br /><br />Ted and Pavlina have an amazing story, with families and friends from all over the world.

Okay, I know- I am not trying to play favorites. We loved everyone's wedding we filmed this year, of course! The reason this one has become my ultimate favorite, is simply because it is a stepping stone in our company's development of a True Cinema Wedding. </p><p>It doesn't matter that we filmed Alekhine's brother's wedding just a year ago and already knew these guys in and out. It doesn't matter that Cecilia is beautiful and the venue <a href="http://www.theparkerpalmsprings.com/index.php">The Parker in Palm Springs</a> is a retro blessing from heaven to shoot at. Although, all of those reasons help! ;-) </p><p>The reason I am so in love with this highlight we are showing you, is that we actually filmed it, with a 35mm film camera. It is what we've been looking for since we left film school and started our company... depth of field. It is why movies move us and video has limits. If you want your day documented it is true that the 35mm camera does little to provide this. But if you are like us- who are charged with an emotional desire to film what is beautiful and romantic in this world, this is an eye opener. I am always a sap for unrequited love, that's really what moves our world. I had been looking for a camera to fall in love with, but I always had come up short. My unrequited love for the perfect camera was akin to Rose and Jack , or our star crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet. I was even in line with Werther and Lotte (from the <i>Sorrows of Young Werther</i>) to be forever denied my beauty. But good news has come on film's foot. I have found my love in Alekhine and Cecilia, Kristin and Mark, Lisa and Ryan and all the weddings of tomorrow. We have always claimed to be the Wedding Cinema Company- which was pretty true, but now we are. This is what we were born to become. </p><p>Oh and by the way Congratulations once more Cecilia and Alekhine, we hope this film moves you as much as it moved us- and of course there is more to come!</p>Kelsey Lauren and David Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18168842623781104851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512148383032942329.post-73026367759207551452009-11-24T00:07:00.000-08:002009-11-24T00:16:11.748-08:00Holiday Card Portraits<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYSkJP3uFUqt_dArraW5UrGZyDrL88jotT0vQqlyUg65GdeQnPDvh2y8nKxIsBy4Cx_GBgiUgaMxi8IHFD-HK3qck5Wn7oBhVZLkHLYZUZrj_7K43Q4qnNYvkmFeQcz_Ck-d0pB6PEURZs/s1600/a3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYSkJP3uFUqt_dArraW5UrGZyDrL88jotT0vQqlyUg65GdeQnPDvh2y8nKxIsBy4Cx_GBgiUgaMxi8IHFD-HK3qck5Wn7oBhVZLkHLYZUZrj_7K43Q4qnNYvkmFeQcz_Ck-d0pB6PEURZs/s400/a3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407580330820634258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv61Z7Gb5VtOi6NV2TntJSjk6jV-95eXBXfuzvxWq9nE-1kAqZYJYxpznJK2TrpZOwhwsmgUjelg8QvgEyncGuJ-vukaLUkUEwbmG7Ug_KbFIgWPwX14iwcksxp4gcxzpd-oK_NhgZeEQ/s1600/a2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 337px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv61Z7Gb5VtOi6NV2TntJSjk6jV-95eXBXfuzvxWq9nE-1kAqZYJYxpznJK2TrpZOwhwsmgUjelg8QvgEyncGuJ-vukaLUkUEwbmG7Ug_KbFIgWPwX14iwcksxp4gcxzpd-oK_NhgZeEQ/s400/a2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407580328888952738" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuOBzI7qfBcV5ioVY5MtjrNlgdnleDqmNqw2Kxd__KrWlQcZ1Vl2fvQwAUCYPoHqEBd2rP6JJWHlHOKRvzAPK1mlsQ03NAfa5rm20uTqHJfpEXhHYk3fD2HGqLbFqbeAvQBDrpDAUWiLBt/s1600/a1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuOBzI7qfBcV5ioVY5MtjrNlgdnleDqmNqw2Kxd__KrWlQcZ1Vl2fvQwAUCYPoHqEBd2rP6JJWHlHOKRvzAPK1mlsQ03NAfa5rm20uTqHJfpEXhHYk3fD2HGqLbFqbeAvQBDrpDAUWiLBt/s400/a1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407580322983200770" /></a>Kelsey Lauren and David Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18168842623781104851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512148383032942329.post-31933373316859332722009-11-18T13:25:00.000-08:002009-11-18T13:26:05.337-08:00Julie and Jason // San Pedro, California<object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7589127&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff0179&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7589127&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ff0179&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/7589127">Julie and Jason // San Pedro, California</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1975636">Charles + Lauren Films</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Kelsey Lauren and David Charleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18168842623781104851noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512148383032942329.post-28498164177724725822009-10-23T22:35:00.000-07:002009-10-23T23:47:21.771-07:0010.1.09 // Annie + Josh // Palm SpringsAgain we were off to Palm Springs to film the wedding of Annie + Josh!
