DJ: First I will start with saying that Jessica and Tony were fabulous clients. They had a vision for their night, and brought in a great team to make it happen. Jessica is the art director at Ronsley, so had a great eye and created a fabulous space for the ceremony, cocktails, and reception. I deejayed a hip electronic cocktail hour that provided great energy and groove to the evening, Hafeez then took over and created a fun transition of funk into dinner, we played some jazz and fun rock throughout dinner w/ fun announcements and 3 speeches, Blue Plate provided wonderful stations including a raw bar, yum. Dancing was all over w/ some motown, funk, 80's, hip hop, but the hottest hits of the night were house music, mainly Deep Dish. It was very fun to play music all over the board, and to many differnt people. Jessica and Tony were awesome, affirming, and were an awesome couple to work with.

Photo: I first met Jessica and Tony at their place. Carl and I spent an afternoon shooting Jessica and Tony's engagement photos. We starting at their place and circled around their neighborhood, finding spots to stop and direct the couple. This session set us up for the day of photography. We built a great relationship with Jessica and Tony, and were able to work "with them" instead of "for them" to capture awesome shots. The space, Illuminating Company, reflected the couple's personality and played an important role in the backgrounds, as far as style, texture, and light. We covered the ceremony, first dance, cake, toasts, and dancing. Later in the night guests twirled sparklers in celebration of Jessica and Tony. I dito Megan, Jessica and Tony were awesome to work with. I'm looking forward to seeing their book completed.
