HEATHER & CHRIS, October 21, 2006

CLICK HERE to enjoy Heather & Chris' Wedding Slide Show! Both the ceremony and the reception was held at The Twentieth Century Club in Oakland and it couldn't have been a more beautiful venue for Heather and Chris' wedding. They had a heck of a time planning for their day initially; so many things seemed to get snaffued with the original site they had planned to use so it seems as if switching to The Twentieth Century Club was meant to happen after all! Michael Jacobs of Blooms Florist was the floral artist extrordinare! The flowers were gorgeous - you did it again Michael - WOW - the perfect touch! CLICK HERE to see a mini slide show of Michael's work and The Twentieth Century Club. And, can we TALK about DJs?!!! Okay, hands down, Jeremy Ganss is phenomenal!! Classy? Absolutely, BUT can this guy spin! And not just spin, but mix and spin and rock the house! Jeremy's technique had people on the dance floor all night! What fun! Check him out - he travels to Pittsburgh to do weddings all the time. So, I'm photographing details prior to the ceremony, details including the cake, and WOW (again) did the cake ever smell delicious! And it tasted as good as its scent! Heavenly looking, smelling and tasting - that's the kind of cake you want for your wedding! Heather will be getting me the name of the cake creator and where she purchased her dress soon so I'll update that information shortly. Congratulations Heather & Chris! You both are so much fun and so easy to work with. It truly was a joy to be with you on your wedding day and I'm so happy I was with you to record all your special memories! You are a beautiful couple in all senses of the word! I'll be in touch soon! You are going to love, love, LOVE the photographs I created for you! The following is an email I received from Heather the day following her wedding. She hadn't even seen any results from my photographing her wedding yet, but this is what she had to say... "Joanne, What can I say? Really, words can't possibly describe how amazing you are. I have not even seen the pictures yet, but I know they are going to be great! My guests asked me this morning how I found you. They said that you were wonderful and that you were moving around getting different shots and that they could not wait to see the photos. You are such a joy to be around and your calm demeanor is exactly what a couple needs on their wedding day. I can't wait to have you photograph our little "pinkies" some day! I am so glad that Chris and I have you to photograph our memories for the rest of our lives. With Love, Heather" When these little "gifts" of personal thanks from my couples come to me I cannot begin to convey what tremendous satisfaction it is for me to know how much happiness I can create for you through my photography. It is such a joy to be able to affect your lives in such an important way. What a gift it is for me to be able to witness your love at the beginning of your lives together!
