Goo Goo Dolls Wedding, Krista & Mike Malinin
Above are Skye Blu Photography‘s blog photo’s from Krista & Mike’s wedding at Cicada in downtown Los Angeles. Here’s the link to her blog for all her pics, Very impressed, take a look. I was hired on as their wedding Cinematographer and below is a trailer of their wedding on film.
Ok, major sidebar for the record….being that the groom “Mike Malinin”here is the Goo Goo Dolls drummer, you might think he’d be a fairly good dancer, naturally, Nooooooope! And I got it all on film, ha-ha! Krista on the other hand is a dancing machine from heaven, seriously I’ve never seen anything like it before, that girl can boogie. Hopefully their kids will get his percussion skills and her dancing genes.
Andrew and Ivana booked Russell Fowler Studios 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 by clicking on the picture below…….sooooo go ahead and take a look.
Warmly,
Ivana & Andrew Firestone

16mm Wedding Film
16mm Film is my favorite of all media to work with. Masterpieces inherently belong to this gorgeous film stock. Arguably I presume, but who cares! 16mm is sooooo hot! It’s warm buttery lens takes my eye to an amusement park of wonderment and excitement. Oh, don’t get me wrong, Super 8mm is cool, very very cool, no question but 16mm film is hot! Smoothe and luscious. Beautiful “winter wonderland” wedding created by wedding planner, “the Party Goddess, Marley Macher, AKA “The Boss”. Photographer: The Becker &Jessica Claire. The bride is the “Farmer John Hotdog Heiress” and the groom is the head chef at the Dodger Stadium. Ironically, the Dodger Stadium is famous for their “footlong” hotdogs right, or Dodger Dogs. Guess who makes the Dodger Stadium’s “Footlongs”? Farmer Johns of course. I’m telling you, there’s a story here folks. Watch it unfold below in my favorite of all films……16mm!
