Another amazing wedding, I got to the church about thirty minutes before the ceremony, because there was church function going on up until then.  Due to the time constraints we shot the formals after the ceremony, we had planned to shoot some “informals” on the golf course at the reception location but it was raining just enough to keep us in doors!   The ceremony took place at St. James Catholic Church in Lake Placid, with the reception following at Placid Lakes Country Club.

I arrived at the reception and got setup to capture the grand entrance of the bridal party and then they went straight into the dances.  I actually had plenty time to get something to eat which is rare and I very much appreciate!  We had a little bit of cake smearing as you can see below, but nothing like Nicole and Craig’s Wedding!  After all the formal stuff was done, the dance floor opened and slowly but surely it packed out thanks to A Premier Entertainment’s Kyle Davis rocking the house!

Two circles formed one around the bride and the other around the groom, after some drinks and dancing a bunch of the wedding guests picked up Ramiro and it looked like they were heading towards the cake and I was thinking Kodak moment, but instead the took him outside and threw him up in the air about a dozen times!  As the night winded down I thought the last song was going to be a slow one but right before the end Kyle switched it up with Tootsie Roll! You can check out Kyle’s Blog post with photos and videos here.  Thanks for letting me capture your memories guys!  Congrats and Good Luck!

Just want to start off by saying the that  Ginibeth of GiniBeth’s Weddings & More has pulled it off again!  Everything was so well done!  The ceremony was very nice, and quick! (Not a bad thing   The bride and groom mixed sand (two different colors into one jar0 at the ceremony right before it was over, that was different and kind of neat!

The reception was at the home of the grandparents of the groom, and it was beautifully done!  There was a huge tent setup next too a barn, with Christmas lights hanging everywhere!  The barn served as the serving area for the food and the dance floor!  Kelly Suit of A Premier Entertainment provided the DJ  and MC services for the evening, and as usual did an awesome job!  Upon leaving the reception everyone threw rose pedals at the couple as they made their exit to get ready to go to Jamaica for their honeymoon.  Congratulations to you, Ashely and Curtis!

So after shooting Janet and Brandon’s wedding on Saturday which got over at about 4:30 for me, I decided to call my good friend Arnoldo.  He had asked me to photograph their biggest homecoming of the year after the awesome pix I shot at Hardee’s HC dance!  I expected the wedding to go longer.  The dance was in New Port Richey about a two hour drive from my house.  So I changed clothes real quick and downloaded all my cards from the wedding and made a backup of them and headed out.  I made pretty good time.  But when I got there the back gate was locked, so after a little curb hopping and getting stopped by a rent a cop I finally arrived!

I set up my lights and started popping off shots!  I also got to try out my new camera low light video capability and while I’m no videographer but I think the video rocks!  It’s a bit noisy but keep in mind that it was shot in complete darkness!  Click here to check out Arnoldo’s post!

So was wondering what I was going to do on Saturday night, when I remembered that Arnoldo of A Premier Entertainment would be DJing the homecoming dance at HHS.  I shot him a quick email to make sure he was going to be their and offered to stop by and shoot some pix of the event for his blog.  So I showed up right at the beginning and setup a couple of flashes and I slapped some colored gels on them and started poping off some shots, this was the first real shoot where I got to try out my new ETTL Pocket Wizards and they rock!

The dance was a huge success!  At the peak of the party there were between 400-450 people in the gym!  I don’t think I have ever seen a school dance that packed and stay that way till the end!  If you need a DJ for your party or event be sure to hit up A Premier!  Don’t forget to check out Arnoldo’s post here for the video!
