Mili + Alejandro have to be the sweetest couple I filmed this year. Mili has the most calmest and laid back personality that frankly is refreshing to see in a bride now a days. She knew what she wanted from the first day we meet that a Starbucks in Ft. Lauderdale. Alejandro or Ale seems to have a childlike personality that’s fun, creative and passionate. Together they make a perfect couple. Mili + Ale are not only a perfect team they know how to pick one as well. They selected some of the best vendors to make sure their day was a huge success. I has a wonderful time filming their wedding. Mili + Ale can PAR-TY! They had the Eden Roc jumping till 5 in the morning! Enjoy this wedding trailer that we put together of some the highlights of the evening. I really enjoyed their custom cake topper. It was so funny to see life-like bubble heads of Mili + Alejandro on top of their cake both showcasing their favorite vices (for mili its chocolate Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars and for Ale it’s playing video games on his PS3.)

This past week has been a busy one. We have been working on a lot new projects so I wanted to take some time to shear a few photos + videos of some the commercial work that LaFrance Films is currently working on. We filmed a recording session with Urban Gypsy, The band is an Flamenco Jazz Fusion group. Urban Gypsy plays all over south florida including at the world renowned Breakers Hotel on beautiful Palm Beach. Be sure to check them out when every your out in about the Palm Beaches.

Also this past week we filmed a commercial for a medical company at scenic beach park in the heart of Boca Raton. This shoot was and grueling under the HOT sunny south florida sun. I should have packed some SPF 80 with my camera lens. Here are few photos of us working behind the scenes and some b-roll as well. 

This past week was the best week ever! I got an text on Monday that my little sister, Kristina was about to give birth to Nathan her first child. I woke up the next morning seeing photos on Facebook and I was so happy to see the pictures of baby Nate but, I quickly realized why the hell I’m here is Florida!
I quickly bought tickets to fly out to Chicago, packed some clothes and a few lens and my 60D (this was all last min.) I think booked the longest flight pattern to Chicago w/ stops in Baltimore and Long Island I felt like I was never gonna get here.
After about 8 hours of travel time I landed at Midway. My mother + father picked me up and where off to the hospital. Keep in mind my sister had no idea I was coming to see her. When I was walked in the hospital room she did not even recognize me! It was nice to see her and her new baby boy, Nathan.
After the initial hellos it was time to get to work and start filming all the events at where happening all around me. Here is some photos + the video I made during mine 7 day trip. I can’t wait to return to Chicago to visit my sister + Bryan and Nathan.

Fun in the sun that’s what SunFest is all about! SunFest is where the music meets the waterfront. To say that it’s just a music festival is an understatement. SunFest just wrapped up it’s 29th year and had up to 200,000 attendees.
This amazing event is a 5 day long party that takes place on the streets of downtown West Palm Beach. SunFest celebrities not just music but the arts and community as well.
We where so happy to hear that the SunFest asked us to produce a promo video that focused on the crowd and feel of SunFest. This was no easy task. SunFest spends the length of Flagler Drive along the waterfront (i made sure i was wearing my walking shoes) The event features 3 main stages with over 50 bands performing! This year SunFest lineup including Jason Mraz, Earth, Wind & Fire, Styx, MGMT, Sublime with Rome, Cee Lo Green, Jeff Beck, Taking Back Sunday Gregg Allman, Neon Trees and many many more.
Here is the video. Please enjoy.
