Lauren and Anthony's Wedding



Last Saturday we did some lighting for Lauren and Anthony's wedding. Shame on me for not taking photos of the happy couple, but they looked great together.

The reception took place at Victoria In The Park in Mt. Prospect, IL This venue is owned by the same people who own Victoria's in Norridge and a couple other venues. You may remember that Victoria's stepped in when the old Starlite Inn in Schiller Park went under a few years ago. I didn't sample the food, but I can tell you that the staff is very accommodating. One thing I really like about this venue is that they use "racetrack" tables, instead of round or rectangular.

I ran into Heather Parker and her assistant , who were photographing the event. I've seen some of Heather's work before and it's really fantastic. I think part of her talent comes from her love of travel, which makes her see things differently.

Flowers are something I have no idea about. I liked them but I have no idea who the florist was.

Finally, DJ-Chicago provided the entertainment. I only saw a little of the dancing near the end of the night, but everyone seemed to be having a great time.

Moving Foward

The event charities we're involved with are moving forward. The first planning meeting for one of them took place yesterday evening, and was attended by some really generous individuals. Early indications are that this event will be very successful for one lucky couple. We'll have another announcement when the website goes live.

New Stuff

Spending a lot of time uploading pictures onto our website this week. Such fun. Also, we're sorting them by venue, so you can go to the venue page and see what types of things we've done there. The old slide shows are still up as well.

On the horizon, we're involved in a couple charity events of note, both hoping to provide a deserving couple with a dream wedding. One group is Wish Upon A Wedding http://www.facebook.com/WUWChicago This group provides weddings and civil commitments for those facing life-threatening medial conditions.

We'll have more about the other group tomorrow.
