What a nice couple and their friends and family were nice and rowdy at the same time, no better combo for the DJ to have a little fun with them.  A couple of highlights that I loved about this party.  The first was after the Father of the Bride tried to play a joke on me after his welcome and acted like he was dropping the microphone as he handed it back to me....  hahaha I think.  2nd was the personal recorded song and toast from country music artist Collin Raye to the Bride and Groom.  He was friends of the family and couldn"t make it to the wedding with his tour schedule but recorded part of his show where he dedicated a song to them and then gave a short toast from his tour bus. 
  12 Uplights in pale blush were the final touches on this wedding.  #greatparty
The location of the camera was getting vibrations from the speaker, sorry about the sound quality.

  Brent & Chris tied the knot with a very boutique wedding style that fit them perfectly.   Diane Kern the Wedding Planner did a fabulous job of outlining the details.   The day started with a small ceremony in the courtyard overlooking the fountain.

 

  The time is now 2014, its time to get with the latest and greatest.  Video Mapping is the next generation that brides and grooms will be asking for.  Ever since the infamous Disney Youtube video of the Cinderella Carriage on the Wedding Cake.  Its been gaining popularity and interest, but video mapping isn"t new.  Its been in use for years, there are festival of lights events in Europe that feature Video mapping of entire buildings.   The custom animation of the Disney video can get costly pretty quick but there are a few options that are more cost effective and will still wow your guests.

  The Association of Bridal Consultants in San Diego hosts a monthly meeting and each month covers a different aspect of the wedding industry.  Whether it be tips and trends or technology, their goal is to educate and help their members excel to being the best.  I spoke briefly about video mapping to the group and here are the highlights.  Thank you to Laura Christin Photography for the Photos and thank you to Nick Covino for being my video mapping tech for the session.

Start with a normal ballroom and wedding.   

 You can bring in each of these colors individually or all at once.

  Katy & Kevin got married this summer at the Rancho Santa Fe Country Club and had a blast!   Their closeness with family and friends was infectious and it showed all day long.   I started the day off by providing the Wedding Ceremony microphones and music on the East Lawn which went flawlessly except for being a little humid that day.   When the doors to the main ballroom opened we were home free.  The bridal party and family were so close that they couldn"t help but enjoy the over the top grand entrance (complete with a few Dancing with the Stars style moments),  dinner, and the toasts were some of the best I"ve seen.  The Monogram looked great and the gold accented uplighting really warmed the room and gave the perfect amount of color to the room while keeping it elegant.  Hats off to the incredibly talented event coordinator and planner Keli Christenson of Monarch Weddings and thanks to Eddie Garcia of E3 Photography for the images.
  A few of the highlights of this event include the King Size Donut in place of the Groom"s cake, the uplighting and of course the dance party that followed, but my favorite part of the night is when Kevin stopped to thank me just before heading out for the grand exit.  He was soaked from dancing all night and gave me a very simple "thank you it awesome".
