Andrella and Brandy: “The Experience”

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012
Sacramento Wedding

So cute! By Chuck Roberts Photography

We could not be happier for these two! Andrella and Brandy were married last September at Orchard Creek Lodge in Lincoln, CA. We love everything about them; their genuine love for each other, how they support and uplift one another, their smiles and infectious laughs and the chance they gave us to share in their wedding day. :) Andrella and Brandy put a lot of time and effort into planning their wedding. We helped with a lot of fun things with these two to customize their wedding.

Their cute family, Jay was such a cutie!

Smiles and laughs. You can't help but look at them and be happy!

First off, the colors. LOVED what they picked out, the blue looked beautiful on both of them. Mackenzie and Chuck of Chuck Roberts Photography got some amazing shots and really pulled out their personalities. We love the true essence of their pictures. Out blog posts would be nothing without our wonderful photographers who share their pictures and “artwork”.

Jumping the broom!

Introductions were a blast, each member of the wedding party had their own song and they owned it! Andrella and Brandy’s wedding party was AWESOME, so fun to work with and did a great job building up the energy in the room. Their little boy Jay was such a cutie with his “Teach Me How to Dougie”. When Andrella and Brandy entered they rocked out “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough” from the Michael Jackson: The Experience video game. We used Orchard Creek’s two video screens to project the game and the two of them rocked it. They didn’t miss a beat.

These next pictures are some of our favorite. Their first dance. We did a little lighting and love how it accented their first dance. We also put a slideshow together of the two of them and played in on the video screens again in the background of their first dance. It was such a romantic and teary eyed moment.

Towards the end of the day we enjoyed a little dancing and a soul train. Overall a really fun wedding from last year. We appreciate all the hard work all the other vendors put into it especially Orchard Creek Lodge, Meghan and Don are just some of the best. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. We don’t ever hear no there, it’s always lets see what we can do. We couldn’t have such fantastic weddings without the full staff of professionals hired. Oh, did we mention it was brunch so we got to eat their delicious breakfast food! If you haven’t been out there for brunch check it out.

JD and Daisy at Orchard Creek Lodge

Not only were JD and Daisy one of our awesome-est couples last year but so was their wedding party! This wedding was so fun, from the introductions to the dancing into the night they were so full of energy and excitement. We love planning with all our couples and getting to know them and JD and Daisy was no exception!

JD and Daisy at Orchard Creek Lodge

Their wedding took place last September at the Orchard Creek Lodge in Lincoln, CA. One of the best Venues around. As I write these posts I am remembering all the great venues we worked at last year. The service is above and beyond in these last few posts. Orchard Creek has the most willing and helpful staff around. From Don the Banquet Manager, he is so easy to work with and always ready for everything. Meghan their Banquet Sales Manager is one of the hardest working people we know. She is always working to make all her clients happy. All the way to the serving staff such as Michelle. Always smiling asking anyone if they need anything, it’s just a great place to work and have any event at!

JD and Daisy had some fun high energy introductions thanks to the enthusiasm of their wedding party, they built up the energy for JD and Daisy to make their appearance. Their wedding had some Hispanic flare by simply adding in some Spanish selections of music to accommodate all involved. We played some Mariachi Band selections during dinner and Salsa, Meringue and Cumbia for dancing. They were a beautiful couple and their photographer John Tuns with John Tuns Photography captured some great shots we shared in this post. The couple, the venue and decor was all gorgeous. Him and his associate were so easy to work with. They stayed on time but still got the job done!

Uplighting at Orchard Creek Lodge in Sun City Lincoln Hills

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

I just wanted to write up a quick post a throw up a quick picture of the beautiful Orchard Creek Lodge at Sun City Lincoln Hills. We just provided lighting for Liz. It was a soft rose that really set a intimate ambiance since that room can seem huge. Our good friend Marsa with DJ Crooner and Associates rocked their wedding as you can see the guests in the picture. They had a blast!

Scott and Nicolle’s Bad to the Bone Wedding!

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Scott and Nicolle

I need to find a new way to start my posts. :) So Scott and Nicolle were rockstars! They were married in the hot summer month of August on the 29th. The wedding took place at the oh so wonderful Orchard Creek Lodge at Sun City Lincoln Hills. A few changes happening up there and we got to work with the sweet Shelly. This was our first wedding with her and it was flawless. She helped pull the whole day off!

Scott and Nicolle were so fun to plan with, we love their fun personalities. We got a sneak peak on how awesome their pics were going to be when we made their photo montage for them. The hilarious Beth with True Love Photo did their pics and also did their engagement pics. So we saw how cute the engagement pics were and are on our toes for the wedding pics. Here are a few engagement pics. and their fun upbeat song choices:
