Arden Hills Wedding Panorama

As a promotional tool for Arden Hills Country Club, I created this spectacular Virtual Reality Panorama (click here: http://www.jensenvideo.com/PTMac/Arden/ArdenHills.html). The image shows the bride in the stages of planning for her wedding. Thanks to Sharpe Photographers for setting up the shoot and directing the 'talent.'

6/5 UPDATE: I just finished a new Arden Hills Panorama at the Villa:

Newcastle Wedding Gardens Demo

One of my favorite venues to shoot at is the Newcastle Wedding Gardens. The grounds are immaculate, and owner Georgia Barron has done a great job in making the gardens a showcase for brides. Recently, the Red Horse Barn was finished at the back of the property, adding a classy reception venue as well.

This morning I finished a 4 minute DVD demo Georgia asked me to produce for the Gardens. The song- "I wanna get married," by Nellie McKay" was provided by one of our 2007 brides to use in her wedding video. I immediately fell in love with it: Its campy, nostalgic, and speaks to the hopeless romantic in many of us.

Thanks to our beautiful brides used in the demo. Thanks also to Cathy Brooks from Visual Impact Designs, Steve Manley from La Perla Bistro, and photos and lighting help by Jeff Sharpe of Sharpe Photographers.

BouquetCam V2.1

...just when you thought it was safe to throw your bridal bouquet!

Kimberly and Isaac were married on September 23, at the Grand Island Mansion in the Sacramento Delta. The couple was the first to use the huge new tent which was specially built for wedding receptions behind the Mansion. What at beautiful wedding it was!

Kim's accidentally threw her bouquet into the chandelier- only to be retrieved by her wedding photographer (Sam Wood of Sharpe Photographers) and Isaac her groom. Isaac used a plastic sword given to him by his father-in-law during the toast moments before (that's another story:) Our super-tiny Micro camera (BouquetCam) was hidden in the bouquet. The force of the landing in the lights popped the camera out of the flowers- with the lens just happening to be pointing downwards to get the incredulous reaction of the bride and guests below. What are the chances of that happening? Watch the video HERE. Kim almost threw the bouquet into the lights again during a second attempt...

...second wedding planet discovered...

This planet creation stuff is getting addictive! I couldn't resist putting up another one. This planet panorama of Laura and Eric's wedding December 30, 2006 came out great. Click on the photo to view larger size. The building behind the couple is the California State Capitol. Joining me on the shoot is Sam Wood from Sharp Photographers.
