David and Ashley’s Wedding – High School Sweethearts!

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

David and Ashley were married November 7. We were hired just for the reception which was at the Folsom Community Center. What a nice Community Center… It is perfect for up lighting and is HUGE! We met these two with Ashley’s mom Diana earlier this year and loved them. They were so kind and genuine. Diana was a huge help for them. She helped them with their vendors and making sure everything got done. Diana did a great job with Ashley planning the wedding and making sure everything was in order. Not beat was missed. She worked so hard all the way up to the day of the wedding and then let us help her enjoy the day. She actually relaxed and took in each moment and memory of the day. Ashley and David are very busy with school and work and were lucky to have Diana.

They did a great job picking their vendors ( I mean they did pick us, jk). We had delicious food from Griselda’s Catering which is based out of the State Capitol. They had a caterer but then with this year had unfortunately gone out of business so Griselda’s was honoring all their contracts. Griselda did a great job and her staff was so friendly and professional. We are all about customer service and professionalism and enjoy when others do too. We also had the pleasure of working with Eric with Acti-Video Productions again. He is so fun to work with. He is not only one of the nicest guys we have met but he does amazing work. Their photographer is a friend that we haven’t worked with in forever. Jennifer with Pechan Photography is such a sweetie and does beautiful work. She had one of Ashley’s friends shadowing her who is just starting out herself. Not many photographers would have been that nice but that’s just Jennifer. :) The friend starting out is Jen too. Her business is Jen Holley Photography. We wish her the best! Last few is Ettore’s Bakery for their cake and Sweet Memories for their florist. Very nice ladies, the flowers were so pretty. I just LOVE flowers. The colors were so vibrant, I’m loving the new trends.

Ashley and David wanted a really fun, upbeat wedding. Nothing new but they were excited, they have dated for quite some time. We hear they were high school sweet hearts and have been together 6 years. We did some fun intros with songs for each couple which always sets the tone for the night. Ashley, David and her dad all learned dance lessons for their specialty dances. They did a really really great job! It was a beautiful night and all their special touches made this huge room seem so intimate. One of my favorite things were ALL the pictures. Everywhere you looked they has a picture of them. The tables were named after place they have been together. On the tables they had that place with a picture of them together at the place. I really liked this.

Well here some pictures of lighting we did for them and their songs:

I LOVED this couple. I keep telling you we get the best couples to work with. They were married at the Church of Christ in Sacramento and had their reception at the lovely Arden Hills on Oct. 3rd. We had the pleasure to work with the sweet Jennifer with Pechan Photograpy. We can’t wait to get some pics. They were soooo cute we loved Nicole; she was so happy and so nervous. We love it when our couples get nervous and cry as bad as that sounds, but it feels real, genuine (Not that if you don’t cry or get nervous your not). I was just really excited for them they seem so in love. We had a blast at Arden Hills, it was a smaller intimate wedding so everyone was caught up in every moment. We did customized songs for their intros, it was funny. Here were their songs:
