Jared & Christy's First Dance

Jared & Christy brought in King Dahl Event Design to help them create a breathtaking setting for their friends and family to celebrate with them. With pink up-lighting on all of the pillars, and spotlights on all of the centerpeices, and pink rose petals projected onto their circular, pearl white dance floor…along with some of the most ornate centerpiece floral arrangments I have ever seen and huge candy buffet that opened for the guests to enjoy later in the evening…their decor was second to none.

My iPhone photos don’t do justice to how beautiful their centerpieces truly were…but I’m sure the photos taken by their photographer, Jeffrey Neal of Jeffrey Neal Photography will be amazing to say the least. As soon as he posts photos from this weeing on his blog I will be sure to share some of them here.

Here is a shot that shows how nice my BOSE L1 speakers look with the up-lighting on the pillars behind them.

I can’t wait to see how the video footage captured by Jesse Tarnoff turns out as well. He and Jeffrey both stayed to very end and captured shots and footage of Jared & Christy’s Sparkler Send-Off as they made their exit.

As awlays, it was a pleasure working with Becky Halbriech and her catering staff at the Dove Canyon Country Club.

Simon & Chrystine

Their ceremony was on the hillside with palm trees and a lake for their backdrop and their reception was filled with laugher, kissing, and lots of dancing! Even Chrystine’s Grandmother, Audra, was seen moving and grooving as soon as the dancing started.

All in attendance were overheard telling Simon & Chrystine throughout the celebration that theirs was…The Best Wedding Reception…Ever!

It was great to work with Jack Randall of Jack Randall Photography once again along with June Abrams of Memories by June shooting video and Mary Jane with Rancho Capistrano.

Aaron is a very talented videographer and his editing skills are top notch as well.

Clint Hufft. I’ve been friends with Clint for close to a decade now…and yet this was just our third wedding together.

Clint has an amazingly robust voice and he is such a polished speaker that you can’t help but enjoy listening to his every word.
