OC/LA Blissful Wishes Ball 2012

Friday, November 23, 2012

I recently had the opportunity to shoot a wonderful charity event – Wish Upon A Wedding‘s (WUW) Blissful Wishes Ball at the ever-lovely Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles. If you’ve never heard of Wish Upon A Wedding, here’s the scoop … it’s the world’s first nonprofit wish granting organization providing weddings and vow renewals for couples facing terminal illness and serious life-altering circumstances, regardless of sexual orientation. The ball was a success with over 200 people in attendance and over $25,000 raised. Methinks we should go for $50,000 next year. What d’ya think?

In attendance was Veronica, one of this year’s WUW recipients. Listen to her story and you’ll see how this organization touches lives and makes a difference.

Here’s a highlights of the event and how it all came together that day. Enjoy.

And I didn’t even flinch …

Ok, I realize I’m cheating when I do this.  Isabel’s blog written by Isabel, right?  Can we make an exception?  Please, oh please!  I received a thank you card from one of my lovelies the other day and I have to share.  It gave me the warm fuzzies with a splash of giggle.  Here goes (clearing throat) and I quote …


Dear Isabel,

On behalf of the new husband and myself, thank you so much for being such an amazing wedding videographer!   Amir and I absolutely adore your work and easygoing personality, and we’ve received so much positive feedback from our guests too.  I remember at one point during the reception, a bunch of us were holding hands and dancing in a circle, while periodically rushing towards the center as a group … during one of these charges, I glanced over and saw you in the center videotaping and thought,  ”Oh my gosh, I hope she gets out of the way so no one tackles her!”  But you didn’t even flinch and looked as cool as ever!  I was so amazed and it just made me realize even more how lucky we were to have such a devoted and talented videographer.  Our wedding was the best day of our lives but Amir and I still can’t believe how fast it all happened – haha, so we are definitely very thankful and fortunate to have had you there, and we look forward to seeing all the memories captured on (video).  Thank you, for everything!


Pretty nice, right?  I think so.  

So I’m thinking maybe starting out their video with a disclaimer, “No videographers were harmed in the making of this wedding video.”  ;)   

Thank you Nasim for the warm fuzzy/giggle moment(s).
