We had no idea what we were getting into with this wedding! It was a rather chilly beach day on Topsail Island, NC in November, but that didn’t stop Raiza and Luis from having an unforgettable wedding complete with a 5 story beach house filled with all their friends and family for a week! Raiza is Cuban and Luis’ family is from Mexico, and Melissa and I just fell in love with this celebration. Melissa and I LOVE hispanic culture. We lived in Mexico for a while a few years back, and we even did a Salsa/Tango combination for our first dance at our own wedding. So when these two families started to dance, we could barely keep the cameras still. I admit, we cheated and danced a little on the job!
We just wanted to share with you their highlights video as well as their dancing segment on their DVD. We know you will enjoy both. Raiza chose, “Your Song”, from the Motion Picture “Moulin Rouge”. I actually love editing to this song, but its been about 1 1/2 years since we have used it last. Thanks Raiza and Luis for welcoming us into your wedding celebration! We had a blast filming!
The photography at the wedding was by Matt McGraw. Beautiful job on his part as always. Music at the ceremony was by Maura Kropke. Check her out also if you are looking for an elegant violinist.

This dancing section is awesome. I couldn’t help but dance in my chair while I was watching. You can really feel the emotion and fun of this wedding. The bride is gorgeous!
I was at this wedding and I just want to say that both of these videos bring back such vivid memories. I think every wedding should have videos as great as these two, you really did an amazing job.
By the way I am the one that was in the light gray suit with all the sweet dance moves!
