Inland Empire Magazine

Check out our recent ad. We know better than most about the high cost of gas. We thought we would have a little fun with our Hummers in front of our Riverside store FabulousEvents.com. In our business, we can’t afford to miss showing up for a wedding or commercial video because of car problems. I have been driving Hummers as a company vehicle since 2003 and have not missed a single job due to car problems. We ran this ad in the August edition of Inland Empire Magazine.





A leading bridal consultant recently asked what is the biggest misconception brides have about wedding video….this was my answer.
The biggest misconception about wedding video is 'I'll never watch it."
It really all depends if it is a good movie or a bad one.
Consider this;

If somebody goes to a movie theater and the movie is bad, they will walk out before the movie ends and never watch it again.
But if the movie is good, they will go see it again, tell all their friends about it and then buy the DVD when it comes out.
If your wedding movie is not a good one, you probably won't watch it often and definitely not show it to your friends.
If your wedding movie is a good one, it will become your favorite movie of all time and you will share it with everybody you know.

Do not underestimate the importance of hiring a talented video producer.
Search out the most skilled wedding movie producer you can find and you will post your movie online, send links to everybody you know, load it on your cell phone and watch it over and over again. Everybody will be talking about your fabulous wedding.

A young gentleman by the name of Eli had his 50th birthday at this fabulous winery and resort. They had great cigars, wine and even Holly Beavon as Marilyn Monroe showed up for this great party. This Temecula Valley, California destination combines a working winery with luxurious sanctuary, adding a new dimension to an increasingly popular wine country. The intimate resort offers Southern California residents a very drivable getaway as well as being a great location for weddings and bridal shower spa days. We are proud to be the recommended videographer for South Coast Winery Resort and Spa. We have lots of wedding demos from this location to show you.



The Mission Inn | Riverside Ca

This fun bride is from Australia and wanted a great wedding video so her Aussie friends could share in her California Wedding Celebration. The Mission Inn in Riverside California is one of the country’s best wedding venues. Her reception was in the Santa Barbara Room and the ceremony was in the Saint Francis of Assisi Chapel, designed and built to house two of the most treasured artifacts at the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, the Rayas Altar and the Tiffany stained-glass windows. The St. Francis of Assisi chapel offers an elegant and timeless location for your wedding. We have been the recommended videographer for this beautiful hotel for more than 15 years and have produced over 300 wedding movies at this location.

Grand Tradition FallBrook

Grand Tradition - FallBrook - San Diego County
Nestled in the hills of Fallbrook, the Grand Tradition sits on 30 acres of lavishly landscaped grounds. From the heart shaped lake with its waterfall and swans to the gazebo etched in hearts and diamonds, the Grand Tradition is your romantic dream come true. The Arbor Terrace was the setting for this beautiful and fun wedding. We have been honored to have worked at both Grand Tradition venues, The Arbor Terrace and Beverly Mansion.





The Mitten Building

Michelle and David had a fantastic wedding at The Mitten Building in Redlands, CA. This wedding was a lot of fun and was held at a very unique location. The building was built of brick in 1890. The structure not only has a fine looking exterior, it impresses on the inside as well. With its exposed rafters, beams and joists, and its stairs and banisters flying up and down each floor, the interior is a tumult of wood, an almost giddy exposition of the carpenter’s art. For some great music check out the Love Rangers, which played at this wedding all night long. You can see our video of the band playing at another fabulous Redlands location, Kimberly Crest. We are the recommended videographer at both of these great wedding locations.
