Andrew Firestone & Ivana Bozilovic Wedding


Andrew and Ivana booked Russell Fowler of Stellar Films to shoot their wedding in Super 8mm Film. I think they made a perfect choice having their wedding documented in this beautifully artistic medium. Andrew & Ivana were fantastic, hospitable and gracious. Not to mention extremely photogenic to the max. Every once and a while I thought, wow, this couple is more attractive and have more charisma in person than in any movie, tv show or magazine cover I've ever seen them in. I think the webster's dictionary is right now as we speak, changing the picture for the word photogenic to one with them in it. Yep. So besides, having such marvelous subjects to shoot, and being involved in one of the most lovely weddings of all time, I must say, the Firestone Vineyards people as a whole are top shelf in my opinion. Tonya Szele, their wedding planner and recent former head honcho over the events and practically everything else at Firestone pulled it off in her usual easy-going style and grace. Jill Remy, the current on-site planner for all of Firestone Vineyards, teamed up with Tonya to knock this one out of the park, or "meadow" if you will. All I had to do was try not to faint from all the beauty filling my lens. It was truely a breathtaking day of shooting. They say pictures are worth a thousand words so here are some photos provided by their exquisite photographers "mi belle inc." Enjoy. Oh and you can see a super fun aged clip on the website.......sooooo go ahead and take a look.

Lounge Monkey

The Hahn Estate 
Montecito California

Brian and Brady of BB Photography have been referring their clients to me for their videography and cinematography for quite some time. Little did I know that they have been snagging pop shots of me at work, or rather, while lounging on the job. Ha-Ha! Great! 

The Hahn Estate wedding was truly amazing. Colette and Kaitlin of La Fete Weddings and Special Occasions put on this very lavish and austere wedding ceremony and reception at Hahn Estate. The bride and groom were so much fun and beyond gorgeous not to mention extremely photogenic. When BB puts up photos from this outstanding wedding I'll be sure to link to it for you. 

Ok..., back to the photos below that Brian shot of me chillin' on the couch.... Yep, it's a "video" camera you see there.  As you know, I'm a cinematographer, and I normally shoot with "Motion Picture Film Cameras",  but when I do shoot "video",  I roll with this little baby. Weather I'm shooting Super 8mm, 16mm or even video, Canon cameras are definitely my preference. I've been in love with Canon ever since they sponsored me for producing  my extreme sports "Unleashed" surfing TV Show" for DirecTV pay-per-view. Sooooo much fun that was!  Well as you can see, I love my job! Thanks for the photos Brian. You rule!

Amy & Larry's wedding film

Film for a Friend
Amy is our friend. She is a wedding photographer in Santa Barbara, a mild giant of talent and grace. She and Larry got married and asked us to shoot a few reels of Super 8mm Film for their wedding, so we did. Larry is a great and funny guy, also a photographer, a great one too. So as their invited guests, we really enjoyed their very touching wedding experience. And a great dinner! Each time I see this film I get choked up, well, ok I cry, there I said it. I'm a big crybaby. But especially when watching Amy and Larry's wedding film. Congrats to you both, have success and love forever. 
xoxo R.
Here is Amy's thank you email. 

"Thank You thank you thank you!!!
