About XOXO
- Sky Rondenet started out as a professional snowboarder in Lake Tahoe not knowing her future would turn into a whirlwind of travel, sports and her love of photography and film.
From the age of 13 Sky was taking pictures with her Pentax K1000. Her brother was a famous photographer in NYC and she wanted to be just like him...
From 1997-2005 Sky had the opportunity to travel to Indonesia, Tahiti, Fiji, Hawaii, Mexico, Nicaragua, Australia and many other tropical locations filming top pro surfers on the WCT. During this time she produced movies for O'neill, Roxy, Vans, TV shows for Fuel TV, Fox Sports, Warren Miller and Burton Snowboards.
She decided to "settle down" and transitioned into Wedding Films in 2001. She hasn't looked back. Every single wedding has a different feel and look and inspires Sky to capture this through her love of visual art and creative process of editing.

Importance of Video
- A wedding video is like a "time machine". It lets you relive your wedding day as often as you like, anytime you like. As one of our professional partners put it, "It let's you attend your own wedding at your leisure without the stresses and distractions of the day." It is also a significant and important "living" document for your families, your children, and grandchildren. Some couples don't realize just how important their wedding video will become until they experience the loss of a loved one that attended their wedding.
Is a Wedding Video Important if I will have Wedding Photos?
Both your wedding photos and your wedding video are of equal importance. You can't frame your wedding video or carry it with you in your purse or wallet to show a friend. But, you can't hear your marriage vows, see a tear as it rolls down your cheek, or relive the sights, sounds, and emotions of your dad walking you down the aisle or your first dance as husband and wife by looking at a photograph. A wedding video is a movie of your wedding day, a lasting memory that contains 30 pictures every second and includes the timeless sites and sounds of every important event that took place on your special day. You can also share your wedding video online or share your wedding video on a video iPod with family & friends who missed your special day. Wedding Photography and Wedding Videography are both artistic expressions and vary from artist to artist. It is important to view the work of each and meet one-on-one with the person(s) that will be producing your photographs and your wedding video. Make sure that their style and personalities match your expectations.
Do I Really Need a Wedding Video?
It's up to you. Your wedding day will only happen once in your life. Don't regret not having your precious memories preserved in a wedding video that you can see and relive over and over.

- He proposed. She said “Yes.” Now what?
These days, with the power of technology and social media, couples are getting more and more creative with announcing their engagement. And with the limitless possibilities of video, announcing and sharing important news has become as easy as posting on Facebook or burning a DVD. An engagement video, also called a couple video, is a great way to personalize your engagement announcement in a way that you, and your family and friends, will definitely remember. So what exactly is an engagement video?
An engagement video is usually a short 3-5 minute video featuring the newly engaged couple interacting in a few different locations. Engagement videos can be personalized in many ways, such as with the use of props—a special memento or favorite photo perhaps, or a fun pop of color, like a bright balloon or colorful bouquet. Some couples like to incorporate a pet, a favorite activity or sport, or a meaningful location. All of these customizations are sure to make your engagement video a unique reflection of your personalities and at the same time, serve as a fun and treasured reminder of this important milestone.
I love weddings in Spring. Flowers are blooming and the air is warm. It is quiet and peaceful, and an absolutely beautiful time of year. Most businesses in Lake Tahoe give discounts as it is the “in between” time of year which will save you and your guests money. Xoxo Video also offers discounted rates this time of year. Give us a call and we’ll give you a customized quote for your wedding film. 530-412-0749
