A tip for you future brides and grooms: Write your own vows. It will make your ceremony more personal, everyone will cry (including the vendors) and, let’s be honest… makes for great video.

When I met with Lucy & Mike, I asked them if they were going to use their own vows. They said they hadn’t decided yet because they didn’t know if they’d be able to get through them. Well they made the right decision as you will see in their highlight video shot at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica (my hometown) and at the beautiful ocean views of the Bel Air Bay Club in Pacific palisades.

Here’s the great team we had the pleasure of working with:
