There were tons of tears and laughter in Denise and Joe’s day. Both are so chill, down to earth, fun-loving, work hard, party harder type of people. It was so easy to shoot their day b/c no detail went unnoticed. By the help of Joe’s older sister, Catherine of ThreePetals, their day turned out to be fabulous. It’s great to have siblings in the industry; they work their hardest to provide you with the best according to your very tight budget and squeeze even more out of it. She provided the flowers and linen and called in some associates for the chivari chairs and dance floor. Huey from Platinum Peaks provided the most extensive and technologically advanced lighting system. He also provided the voice for the night, the photobooth and the music to rock the house all night. Their reception turned out to be one of the most eye-popping and wildest receptions we’ve ever had the honor of shooting. You just have to see it yourself below to believe it.
Denise’s gown is from Enzoani. I am also looking at a gown from Enzoani for my wedding day.
In honor of Denise’s father all the bouquets and boutonnieres had an image of him attached to it.

Denise got a crochet stick to help with the many buttons in the back. What an ingenious idea!
Doesn’t she look gorgeous!?!
Denise’s mom was very emotional as she passed on a few words of wisdom to her new son.

I love this shot of them. Radiating happiness.


Doesn’t the cake look so dramatic? Lighting does wonders!

Another great view of the sweetheart table.
Dramatic entrance for the bride and groom.

Speech, speech, speech!
I can’t help it! The sweetheart table is just too sweet to pass up!

These 2 gentlemen cracked me up! They were the head of a train that broke off somewhere.
She sang a couple of lovely songs! Love the lighting here.
