Christ Cathedral & Westin Anaheim Wedding Video | Andrew + Elizabeth
A Luxe Multicultural Wedding Film at Christ Cathedral and Westin Anaheim
Captured by One Story Weddings | Orange County Wedding Videographer
A Fusion of Faith, Culture, and Cinematic Moments
Elizabeth and Andrew’s wedding wasn’t just an event—it was a full-sensory experience. From the spiritual beauty of their Catholic ceremony at Christ Cathedral to the vibrant, choreographed celebrations at The Westin Anaheim Resort, their day was full of cinematic moments we were honored to preserve.
As an Orange County wedding videographer team, we specialize in storytelling that goes beyond documentation—capturing movement, emotion, and atmosphere in a way that lets couples relive their day for years to come.
Timeless Traditions in a Modern Cathedral
At 2:30 PM, Elizabeth and Andrew exchanged vows in a traditional Roman Catholic mass held at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove. The expansive glass design of the sanctuary created an ethereal ambiance, with natural light cascading over their ceremony.
Though personal vows weren’t permitted, the moment that truly defined the ceremony came when Andrew’s sister, Erica, performed a live rendition of “Ave Maria.” Our team focused on capturing the layered emotions of that moment—from the bride’s tearful expression to the groom’s quiet awe.
Prior to the ceremony, Elizabeth and Andrew met privately for a first look on the cathedral grounds. These pre-ceremony moments offered both emotional weight and cinematic visuals that set the tone for their film.

Vibrant Reception Highlights at The Westin Anaheim
Following the ceremony, the reception unfolded at the luxurious Anabella Ballroom at The Westin Anaheim Resort. The evening was intentionally designed to showcase both Andrew’s Indian background and Elizabeth’s Vietnamese and Laotian heritage. Every room and moment reflected a deep cultural respect.
