After their ceremony, we walked around the Siena campus for some photos then headed to the Albany Marriott for the party. Laura’s sister and Pat’s brother gave two great toasts, then left it up to DJ Paul Malo to get the crowd moving for the rest of the night. He didn’t need to do a lot though, as this group was ready to dance. They had all ages out on the dance floor dancing to all types of music.

The reception at Pat’s Barn was perfect. They had cider and donuts on the tables as favors, yummy food upstairs and downstairs, touching toasts by Kate’s father and sister and PJ’s brother and a very emotional mother and son dance that had everyone tearing up a bit. Then came the dancing which lasted all night long. I think the dance floor was still packed right up to the last beat of the last song.

Kate & PJ - wishing you both a happily ever after!

I remember meeting Jackie & Junait about two years ago and as they told me about their plans for the big day I thought it sounded fun, but that was an understatement. It was a blast and they included a lot of personal touches to really make the day special.  They had a blessing in Turkish (I don’t know what was said but I’m sure it was nice), they had the most awesome toasts by their two maids of honor and two best men, they had a photobooth set up, they had a belly dancer who got the guests out on the dance floor, they smashed stuff on the floor (just one vase really, and it was filled with candy) and they, along with their bridal party, danced ALL night long.  

There was too much going on to list here, so here is Jacqueline & Junait’s feature film from their October 2011 wedding. Enjoy - and feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!

JP: “Take it all in Brian.”
Brian: “I’m trying…making sure I can remember it all.”

I loved this exchange, because really, the day goes by so fast that you really need to make yourself take the time to soak it all in. You could see Suzanne & Brian doing this though out the day - from their first look, to the glances at each other during the ceremony, to their complete attention to each other during their photos and their first dance.

Suzanne & Brian put their personal touches on everything, including the centerpieces, which they made themselves and were so cool (candles and vases filled with candy in the colors of the bridesmaids flowers), the programs that Suzanne designed herself, and the cake, or lack of - they had make-your-own ice cream sundaes instead. Loved that!
