Blaylock / West Reception


5-25-13. Today I loaded up the Cool Shots Photo Booth in addition to my usual equipment and headed south to Auburn for Brendon and Meredith's wedding reception. They had the outside patio area of Moore's Mill Club reserved for the occasion. It was very spacious, beautiful and had a very scenic view of the golf course.
I had done Meredith's sister's (Anna) wedding back in January of '09. It was wedding I'll never forget. It was at Pine Tree Country Club during the NFC Championship when my Carolina Panthers were defeated by the Arizona Cardinals to go to the Superbowl. But I digress.
Meredith and Brendon have an awesome group of family and friends. They were all very receptive and ready to get the party started. Once we opened up the dance floor it stayed packed all night. Also, the guests got to leave with a customized wedding favor from the Photo Booth. Now isn't that what memories are made of? Congrats to Meredith and Brendon. Have fun in Hawaii and enjoy your new lives in Baton Rouge. Also, I would like to thank Robbie and Holly for all they're hard work with the Photo Booth.

Goff / Russ Ceremony & Reception


5-24-13. Deja Vu. It feels like I was just here... No, wait. I was. And I love being here at The Sonnet House. Corey, Jarred and Candice are great to work with every time. I've been doing wedding here for over 5 years now and they're level of professionalism is second to none other. They always go above and beyond to take care of their clients and the property seems to get a little more beautiful each time I'm here.
Anyway, tonight was Tami and Nate's Wedding. I handled the ceremony and a little bit of music for the reception. The ceremony went flawlessly. In the past they have a few problems with microphones cutting in and out while the officiant is conducting the ceremony. We have asked around and it is not just us. I've talked to other companies and other vendors and they are having the same problem. We've seemed to have tried everything (i.e. moving setup location, trying different frequency microphones, etc.) to correct this problem with only a few improvements here and there. But I now think I have found the solution and I'm now 2 for 2 in 5 days time at Micing a perfect Ceremony. Go Feel The Beat! Oh. I'm not gonna tell my secret. Let's just say I'd rather be lucky than good.
Congrats Tami and Nate. Thanks you for having me and enjoy your honeymoon in the Florida keys.

Heiman / Tatum Ceremony and Reception


5-19-13. Tonight I made my way over to the Sonnet House for Lauren and Erik's Ceremony & Reception. After all of the rain we had this weekend everyone seemed to be a bit nervous... everyone but me. The dark clouds came in and rolled right on out, making for a beautiful day to have a wedding. I was in charge of the ceremony and reception today and both went flawlessly. Lauren and Erik are an awesome couple and I know they had as much fun as I did today. They and their families danced all evening right up until it was time for them to leave in 1959 Rolls Royce named "Elizabeth" from Coates Classic Cars. Congrats Erik and Lauren! Special thanks to Brendon Pinola of Photo 205 , Candace at the Sonnet House and Imperial Catering for all the great food.

Byars / Franklin Reception


5-18-13. Tonight I headed out to Old Car Heaven for Danielle and Brent's Wedding Reception. I did 15 LED Washes on the Drapery from Randall at Robert's Rentals in Hot Pink and 10 Wireless LED Up-lights on the drapery wrapped around the columns.
It's always a great time at Old Car Heaven. The giant room is filled with, you guessed it, tons and tons of old cars. Danielle and Brent even got to make their entrance to the reception in a classic convertible Rolls Royce that dropped them of directly on the dance floor. Now that's how you make an entrance. Danielle and her guests danced all night until she and her new husband Brent made their Grand Exit in a 1959 Jaguar named "Caroline" from Coates Classic Cars.
Special Thanks to Lorraine at Old Car Heaven and to Wayne Morris of Wayne Morris Video for taking the picture for me.

Rosiewski / Drake Reception


5-12-13. Today was Mother's Day. First I want to say I love my mother deeply and I wish I could have been with her today. Fortunately, she was in Virginia visiting with my other brothers and her grand and great grand children. Love you mama!
Secondly, I got to help a great couple make some wonderful memories for themselves and their guests. Sara, Nick and Sara's mother Kathleen threw this wedding together in just a couple of months and with Great Success. The Pavilion at Aldridge Gardens looked beautiful. I lit up all of the columns with 14 of our Wireless LED Up-lights. I also did a couple of pinspots for their cake table.
Being it was Mother's Day, I wasn't sure how this party would go. Their family and friends were great. They stayed most of the night and danced and got involved in various ways. I helped Kathleen setup a surprise bubble bombardment during Sara and Nick's First Dance. It made for a pretty cool and very visual experience. Congrats to Sara and Nick and a big thank you to Kathleen for having me and also to Judy at Aldridge Gardens.

Deardorf / Blume Reception


5-11-13. I have been anticipating this wedding for a while now. Tiffany booked me over a year ago, and when I first met with her and Zack I could tell they were going to be a lot of fun.
The wedding wonderful and the party was even better. Their people gave them one of the highest energy intros I have ever been a part of. Everyone was ready to go right from the start. I even had folks dancing to my cocktail hour music. Yea. This night was definitely fun and memorable for all.
Special thanks to Ashley and Stephanie from Mathew's Manor and Charles and Amber Ford for all the great pictures! Can't wait to work with you all again real soon.

Ajlouny / Haddad Reception


3-4-13. Tonight was Rachael and Nick's wedding at THE Club. I was there not only to provide the entertainment but, I also did a lot of lighting and a sweetheart logo as well. This was my fourth Arabic wedding and probably my favorite of the bunch. Everyone had a great time dancing and celebrating the night away. Nick and Rachael are a great couple. They're really down to earth, easy going, and hilarious. I was really glad I got to do this one. Thanks to all for such a great night.
