Chrissy & Dave had an incredible mid week wedding at Glen Manor in Portsmouth RI, but I wouldn’t have expected anything less from Chrissy who is the owner of Planned to Perfection ! They were elementary school sweethearts who separated and found their way back to each other after many years. Once reunited they quickly decide to get married and start their new lives together asap! The entire wedding took Chrissy 2 months to put together. She had some amazing vendors there to help her bring her event to fruition. Of course Bob was the DJ and rocked the floor Joseph from Celebeautique did the hair and makeup, Mike Picard Videography, Russell Morin’s Catering, The Perfect Setting, Conceptual Image Designs. Sound Explosion for up lighting, Wedding Officiant Mike Egan from Heavenly Weddings,  Ceremony music La Bella Musica and PDR Events. This gallery has an excessive amount of images only because theses vendors and Chrissy’s planning really did an amazing job in just 2 months time! I hope you all enjoy the images. Chrissy and Dave Thank You so much for including Bob in I in your day we had an amazing time, it really was honor! We love you and wish the two of you and the girls many years of happiness joy and laughter!

oxo,

Michelle

Michelle provided the photography for the wedding, and yes I was their DJ.  However, my best friend was also there to help play on the 1s and 2s ( DJ talk for spinning music ) , Victor from Party Time DJs.  I know what many of you are thinking, how wild a party could it be on a Wednesday?  Well, it was crazy party, everyone danced despite the 95 degree weather.  We all had an amazing time and danced until the end at 10:00.

Here is the Vlog, and yes I interviewed her at the end.  After all she was a bride. lol

Amy & Craig had a beautiful day at the Alpine CC in Cranston. This funny sweet couple were surrounded by friends and family and celebrated in style!. We went to the State house for formal pictures although we did stay more traditional with the imagery these two soon kicked it up a bit with some playfulness and flirted with the sexy images a bit. From there we headed out to the Alpine Larry from Engagements was there to rock the floor! I have no doubt the guest all had sore feet the next day since I don’t recall a moment that anyone sat down. I also got to work with another great friend Mike Picard that day. Yes that’s right, you don’t need to book all of our services. Just book the ones you love the most! We love working with other wedding vendors in fact we are probably friends with all of them which works out wonders for our couples. Amy and Craig really are an amazing couple and it was a joy being with them on their wedding day. I wish the two of you Love, Joy & Happiness!

Stephanie and Jim were amazing to work with on their wedding day! Quote from Stephanie “We both prefer photojournalistic style of photography, candids, and capturing as many guests as we can. We’re not big into the posed shots, but will want to include some for the family sake. In general, we are not very formal, and our famililies are goofy and have great sense of humor” Great sense of humor was an understatement, between the two of them the bridal party and my quick wit I went home with bruises on my sides from laughing so much. This couple not only were silly but also incredibly sexy which you can tell from their images. I really got wrapped up in two moments. One with the grandparents at the end of the ceremony when gram-pa was crying because his granddaughter was so beautiful and he was so happy to be there. The second time was when the grooms brother took grandma for a spin on the dance floor to Chuck Berry’s Sweet Little Sixteen, I swear looking at her eyes she was thinking of the days when she was at the ice cream shop bee bopping. Both times I caught myself crying. It really is an awesome feeling when a couple’s family invites us in to there lives for the celebration and makes us feel like we too are family. Stephanie & Jim Bob and I had a wonderful time at your wedding, we wish the two of you all the happiness life can offer

Our Photo Booth went out over the weekend to Jen and Joe’s wedding at the Tiffany Ballroom and let’s just say it was a very active corner of the room. Jen & Joe participated in our crazy photo booth contest last year and won a photo booth for their wedding. Their winning image which we can’t show you because of it’s nature involved two apples a banana and some rope, don’t worry no fruit were injured during the image. Anyhow I thought I’d share some of the fun images Jen & Joe received of their guests. It’s amazing what some people will do behind a closed curtain!

Photobooth information can be found here : PHOTOBOOTH

All of the images from the photo booth are hi resolution meaning you could print them as large as 48x 64 or larger if you wanted. Images are posted to a viewing web site within 24 hrs and the bride and groom get a hi res disk with copyrights mailed out right away so that they may add them to the thank you cards.

Our photo booth can only make limited appearances so call today to reserve it for your wedding day!

Your heart felt thank you at the end of the evening is why I love my job so much. It was truly a magical evening, the place rocked of course.  People danced hard, both old and young, right to the very end.   Jessica you are gorgeous, and this video below captures how radiant both of you were on your wedding day.

Natashia and Brian, what an amazingly fun, and sexy couple ! Even through stormy weather these two smiled,told jokes, laughed and enjoyed their wedding day to the fullest!

Funny story – Many times we meet our couples months in advance sometimes years and honestly it is very hard to remember everyone’s faces. A friend of ours is getting married and she asked me to meet her at the bridal salon to pick out dresses. I arrive there early and had to wait, as I was waiting this very beautiful girl in a stunning gown kept peeking around the corner at me.  I was a tad embarrassed as I though she caught me starring. I kept thinking “wow,  what a lucky photographer  who will be capturing her wedding”. Well this very pretty bride approaches me and asks very nicely “Are you Michelle from Main Event?” shocked I answered yes she then proceeded to tell me that I was the photographer who was shooting her wedding on Saturday! Well embarrassed,  I got over it quick because  YAY, It was me who was shooting her wedding!! Natashia, Brian you were a joy to photograph and I can’t wait for our after wedding session!

The day of the wedding was gorgeous, the perfect temperature, perfect blue skies, and the perfect setting at Bel Mer.  As soon as they arrived with their bridal party we all starting singing and celebrating with high fives.  I knew then this party was going to be something exceptional.   When I went back into the ballroom before the guests arrived I started playing Reggae Music, some Sean Paul – Temperature and Ini Komozi – Hot Stepper, all the members of the bridal party were dancing and so it began.

I could really get carried away with this wedding, but suffice it to say from the moment I pressed play at 6:00, until  1 AM, I could not see the dancefloor, it was so packed.  I was suppose to end at 12:00 but Bel Mer allowed us to go to 1 AM.  So a big thank you to all the staff at Bel Mer.

Congrats guys, I hope you enjoy this beautiful highlights video.
