Dorothy and Barrett :: LaCima Club

Posted on February 4, 2011

Dorothy and Barrett had a great story about when they met. Barrett is a hockey coach, and Dorothy is a figure skating coach. A friend of his had invited him to play in a senior league hockey game (something Barrett really wasn’t excited about). However, when he set eyes on the score keeper (Dorothy), he was happy to be there. How did they meet? Well, he fouled one of the players, but the referee didn’t see it. So he told the ref “Hey, you need to put me in the penalty box!”.

[PIC TO COME]

Since the bride is a figure skating coach, we had a little bit of fun with the first dance. I printed
up some score cards for the wedding party, which they held up at the finish of Dorothy and Barrett’s
first dance. It was a huge hit! (And they scored a 5.9 out of 6!)

I love this photo!

I had a great time at Dorothy and Barrett’s reception – what a fun crowd!

The groom getting crazy!

I can honestly say that I’ve never seen this before (and it did make me wince a little!)

I get a cool photo every once in a while. (You should see the hundreds that I delete!)

Nora and Chad :: Mira Vista Country Club

Posted on February 2, 2011

Mira Vista Golf Club was all aglow at Nora and Chad’s reception. And, not just with the soft uplighting, the beautifully lit cake, the dance lighting and the gobo over the dance floor – but with a crowd of fun guests who were there for one purpose: To have a great time and celebrate with the newlyweds. Often times I’ll start mixing in some fun music towards the end of dinner, and this group was on the dance floor in a heart beat. We postponed the parent dances for a bit, so the guests could get going and have some fun for a bit.
