ROCK THE BOAT

This is something you do not see everyday at a wedding reception!

Kristen and Mike got married in July of 2011. Their reception was at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens. They were such a fun and silly couple to photography. After the ceremony at Our Lady of Victory Basilica, we went to a private residence for their photos. We laughed and had such a blast the entire time. We knew the reception was going to be awesome!

They had a packed dance floor! Then all of a sudden everyone cleared out and Mike took a seat on the dance floor. Out of nowhere, an entire crowd of people sat behind him in a line. We had no idea what was going on. Then the song “Rock the Boat” came on. The line of people raised their hands and started dancing. It was hysterical.

Kristen came up to us and said this happens at all of Mike’s family weddings! She knew at some point this was going to happen!

CANDLELIGHT AT SALVATORE'S ITALIAN GARDENS

Happy Monday everyone! We hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Don't you just love this image? It is from Melissa and Justin's wedding reception at Salvatore's Italian Gardens. We got amazing images all day with Melissa and Justin. We needed to continue the streak into the night. They had a giant head table with candles everywhere. Neal decided we could use those as part of the photo. We had Melissa and Justin have a seat at the table. We placed them where they were framed in from the candles. The music was blasting and the party was going strong, so it was hard to guide them during the photo. They are so natural and have such passion for one another that we let them do their thing and enjoy each other's company. We got some beautiful reactions from them. This was our favorite! The uplighting in the background works so well too. It adds nice contrast to the soft warm glow of the candles.

This image has such an intimate feel. You would never know that we were surrounded by 300 guests at the time we did this!
