St Joseph’s Cathedral and Fairmont Hotel San Jose

This wonderful video is hot off the presses. Literally, we just shot the wedding last night! LOL.

Elizabeth and Roy got married in the amazing church of St. Joseph’s Cathedral in San Jose, CA. This is a great church to shoot wedding videography. I recommend AT LEAST two videographers, one for the front and one for the back and/or balcony. Three videographers is even better if you want unreal coverage and more editing choices. I  normally love to put a videographer up in the balcony, this gives the wedding photographer more room with which to work in the back [i.e., not having to share the back aisle with the videographer]. As for the balcony, I actually feel it’s too close and too steep to be a good shot so we usually do not shoot there. As a wedding photographer, I usually take one or two from the balcony. You can see wedding photos from St Joseph Cathedral here.
Their wedding reception was held at the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San Jose, CA. This awesome hotel in the heart of downtown San Jose is a great place to have your wedding. This video clip includes a heart-warming segment in which the Mother of the Groom gives a heart-warming toast to the newly wedded couple. In the video you will see DJ Earl come and save the day as the Mother of the Groom accidentally turns the wireless microphone OFF. Speaking of DJ Earl, he is a great wedding disc jockey...if you find yourself in need of a great wedding DJ please give DJ Earl Joseph a call.

So anyway, this wedding was absolutely wonderful as it combined the very best of American Wedding Traditions with Eastern wedding traditions as the bride is from India. I have a ton of experience doing these types of multi-ethnic weddings. In fact, I published an article about this subject a few years back.

Hats off to the other great wedding vendors that helped make this wedding possible.
