It was a beautiful day on Coronado Island and their beach wedding was a sight to behold. The photography was by Darin Fong and the Florals were by LaVonne of Adorations. Entertainment was by Wayne Foster Entertainment. We hope you enjoy their wedding highlights as much as we did producing it for this fun and loving couple.

Our lovely bride Amanda had this to say about their wedding movie:

Hi Eric
The video was great and we love watching it. Thank you for doing such a great job capturing the whole wedding. The video clip was very nice as well and we have been showing friends. They love it!
Thank you for everything!
Amanda

It was a rainy day but there is an old superstition that says rain on a wedding day brings good luck and we are sure it’s true with this charming couple. Erika’s dress was simply stunning and her bridesmaids wore silver/lavender dresses and leopard print rain boots. Even though it rained the whole event was amazing. The mother of the bride really went all out in creating some of the most amazing decor for the ballroom we have seen. Getting ready and the reception was held at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. The wedding was coordinated by Heather of an Unforgettable Day and the DJ was Mike Hogan. The photography was by Shirock and the florist was Kathy Wright & Co. This beautiful wedding was also featured in San Diego Nuptials Magazine on page 97. The lovely Mother of the Groom had this to say about their wedding video:

“Hi Eric,
We just got home from a two week vacation and were thrilled to see the wedding video had arrived.  We watched it and LOVED it.  I especially like the way you did the beginning – going back and forth between Erika and Bret getting ready, and all the preparations.  The ceremony part was perfect and you showed off the reception really well.  The interviews were an added bonus!  We weren’t expecting that and it was really fun. My husband and I loved the whole thing and I know Bret and Erika did, too. I just want to thank you again for doing such a wonderful job.  You and your staff were so professional and discreet.  You captured all the special moments, from beginning to end, in such a personal and intimate way, yet managed to blend into the background so no one really knew you were there. Thank you for that. I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a videographer. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful memory. Debby Picciolo”

We hope you will enjoy their wedding day highlights.

You both were SO amazing on our wedding day and we, along with every single one of our guests LOVED the Same Day Edit.  Seriously, folks can’t stop talking about it!  If you should ever need testimonials please don’t hesitate to give Chris our I a shout, we would be happy to provide wonderful feedback to other couples on Blue Pearl Productions! Thank you so much for checking in with us and asking about Chris…he’s doing better and has been walking/limping around for the past few weeks.  However, he is heading back into surgery on Friday to remove scar tissue.  Fingers crossed, for another speedy recovery!
Thank you,
