Brendan & Jenna
Open ocean, and nothing in the way. Press play, sound on.
The way it felt.
The Bel-Air Bay Club sits high on the Pacific Palisades bluffs, and there is almost nothing between its lawn and the horizon. Brendan and Jenna's day ran straight into that light and stayed there until the sun went down.
It had an easy, unhurried warmth: a ceremony with the ocean wide open behind it, then the old Mediterranean clubhouse for the evening. We filmed it patiently, and let the water do most of the work in the wide frames.
On Bel-Air Bay Club.
The Bel-Air Bay Club was built in 1927 as a private beach club for a young Los Angeles, and it has kept its Mediterranean Revival bones ever since. The Grand Lawn is the reason to film here: a level stretch of green on the edge of the Palisades bluffs, with open Pacific filling the whole background and no rooftops in the way. Inside, the 1920s clubhouse carries the evening, with a soaring living room and a wall of windows that hold the last of the daylight. It is a west-facing property, so the sunset comes to you. We build every Bel-Air Bay Club wedding film around that, and shoot the ceremony with the ocean behind you.
