Stephanie and Shawn’s wedding– fireworks!

Posted on Dec 5, 2012

For Stephanie & Shawn’s wedding, I felt like XZibit on a new show called “Pimp My Tent.”

The wedding was hosted in their spacious backyard, and the tent looked amazing thanks to Deanna, Matt, and their staff at Sassy Soiree. However, as stunning as it was, it became even more awe-inspiring after Brandon and I set up an amazing lighting setup. It wasn’t overly complicated, just three stands with floods, a couple simple effects, some white floods and a monogram; but the look they create was stellar. They were wirelessly controlled with our computers so every special event had it’s own dramatic scene change.

Thank God that Deanna showed Stephanie and Shawn how important lighting is, as it would’ve been dark without it. Even tent lighting alone isn’t bright enough.

The party itself was pretty intense, highlighted halfway through with a fireworks show! Check out the videos and pics below!

Liz & Shaun’s high-energy reception!

Posted on Sep 10, 2012

Liz & Shaun have an incredible set of family and friends who really wanted to party!

They chose the beautiful Paradise Cove in Orlando. If you’ve been there, then you know that the only lights in there are the hanging lights which aren’t the brightest. That’s no problem, as we brought out plenty of dance floor lighting and created some dramatic, but elegant scenes. (Watch the cake cutting in the video below). On top of that, our white cyc light not only created powerful, timed strobes to create high energy sets, but also flooded the ENTIRE area with a even white light so everyone could enjoy the night’s activities. The photographer and videographer loved it! weddings  Liz & Shauns high energy reception!

Check out my photos below… as well as some great video… by great I mean content, as my assistant had some issues with the focus, lol.

Chrissy and Joe’s awesome wedding reception!

Posted on Jul 9, 2012

Chrissy and Joe are some of the coolest people I’ve ever met.. and their family and friends were just as awesome. Kelly and I partnered up for this one (he was the MC, I handled music) and we both had a great time!

Working with Huntington Hills, we provided ceremony music and microphone, reception entertainment, dance floor lighting, and a projector for the slideshow that Joe’s brother, David, created. THe slideshow was really well done; the photos actually fit the word of the music– very cool!

The music selection was all over the place as I bounced from country, to rap, to club music, to 90s.. the guests loved every minute of it and I was feeding off that energy!

Is there a doctor in the house? Melantha and Kyaw Min’s Wedding Reception!

Posted on Jul 6, 2012

If you’re wondering about the title to this entry, Melantha and Min are both doctors, as was 90% of their guest list.

It’s been a while since I have worked at the Hilton Garden Inn, which is a shame because I love the place. It’s next to Lakeland Linder Airport, the staff is great, and the food is just wonderful!

I also got to work with Joanne from Events by Joanne; we go way back and she always does a great job creating a look that reflects the couple’s personal style.

We dropped in sound for the ceremony, performed for the reception, added dance floor lighting and uplights in their wedding colors.

Michael and Samantha’s Beachside Reception!

Posted on Jul 5, 2012

I’ve known Michael for a long time; he even worked for us at one point. He’s the kind of guy who’d give you his shirt even if it’s the only one he owns. When he told me he was hosting an intimate reception of close family and friends, I told him I’d love to be the DJ and MC for him. Though his budget was tight, I told him it was a wedding gift.

He asked me to take a few pics, too, which is why this gallery is much larger than most.

A Premier Entertainment has been at the Grand Plaza before, but I personally haven’t. As a matter of fact, it has been a while since I’ve driven out to St. Pete Beach for a wedding. All I have to say is WOW! This room is stunning!

The beachside ceremony went smoothly, despite the recent storms we had. The reception started at 12:00 in the afternoon, so all hope for lighting was lost.. ALMOST. My new lights were very visible even in the bright sunlight… so that made Michael, Patrick (my assistant) and myself giddy! weddings  Michael and Samanthas Beachside Reception!
