Danielle & Kyle - Feature Film - Hiland Park Country Club

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Danielle and Kyle are totally in tune with each other - they even bought each other the same card to go with their wedding day gifts.

We met up with everyone at the Queensbury Hotel where they were getting ready (in separate areas). Their ceremony was officiated by Danielle’s family pastor (I love working weddings he is at) and was so special - yes, tears were shed. Danielle’s sister and brother-in-law even performed one of the songs.

After the ceremony and bridal party photos with our friend Mitch W, we headed inside to check out the room. It was beautiful. Vinny from Non Stop Music was already set up with his new uplighting and had a personalized monogram for the bride and groom shining on the dance floor. Danielle’s mother is a wedding planner, so she made sure all the little details were taken care of - lots of little personal touches everywhere. And since it was the start of the July 4th weekend, Danielle’s parents surprised the couple with their very own fireworks display. Love that! Oh, and the party totally rocked!

Here’s a little something different - instead of just a highlight, this is Danielle & Kyle’s feature film. Enjoy - and feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!

Tara & Jimmy Highlights - Sunny Hill Resort & Golf Course

Monday, January 10th, 2011

Tara & Jimmy tied the knot at Our Lady of Knock Shrine in East Durham at the end of October. It was our third time there in three years and Tara was at every one of those weddings, so I knew this one would be another great one. Friends and family provided the music and singing for the ceremony and I overheard Jimmy telling his best man how talented Tara’s family is and how lucky their kids would be to have that passed down to them. ;) I also noticed that Tara’s necklace looked familiar - just like one her sister Tracey wore two years earlier. Tara explained that it was her mother’s and had been worn at about 15 weddings now. How great is it to have something special like that passed on.

The reception was pure fun right from the beginning. The bridal party (half of the groomsmen were named Brian) danced their way in and never stopped for the rest of the night. There was singing (Tara sang Caledonia and Glory Days and one of the Brian’s sang too), there was Step dancing and the Siege of Ennis, there was some fiddle playing (Devil Went Down to Georgia), there was jump roping and bride & groom lifting … and, I got to witness my first bathroom party (wow!). We had an absolute blast and were so happy to be surrounded by this wonderful family once again.

Maggie & Erik - Wedding Highlights

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

I love Irish weddings - and this one reaffirmed why!

Maggie & Erik were married on a beautiful September day at the Our Lady of Knock Shrine in a ceremony that included bagpipes, music and singing. Afterwards we went to a place that Maggie had previously scouted out for photos. It was at the edge of a horse form with a magnificent view. Photographer Mitch Wojnarowicz captured the images that day and took some amazing photos. I saw the photo gallery and fell in love with their photos, so I posted a few of them below the video so you can see for yourself (it was hard to choose just a few).

The reception took place at the Shamrock House in East Durham, which is owned by Maggie’s parents. They set up a huge tent on the grounds and Billy Keenan and the PrimeTime Showband provided part of the entertainment. The rest was provided by the bride & groom, their family and friends. We were treated to a bagpipe performance, stepdancing, singing, and musical performances - including Maggie’s grandmother on the accordian. There was even a little nostalgia thrown in when one of the bridesmaids changed into the bridesmaid dress from Maggie’s parents wedding from the 70’s and asked Maggie’s father to dance.

The end of the reception came and it was time for us to leave, but the party was just getting started. They moved indoors to continue celebrating with what I am sure was an awesome after party.

Here is the highlight video from Maggie & Erik’s September 2009 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple - and don’t forget to check out the photos below the video.
