What a great wedding we had with David and Vanessa. They decided to get married at The El Adobe restaurant, in San Juan Capistrano. Happens to be about three doors down form my office. We met 2.5 hours before the ceremony to get all the portraits done. It was great. We did a nice casual walk through downtown and got some amazing images. This was another The OC Wedding Pros wedding. I got the lead from a referral and I sent them to The website and they found Todd. It is great having a resource likeThe OC Wedding Pros to send my clients to help them find dependable and professional wedding professionals.
New Video Screens and Rear Projection
EMM is happy to announce that we now have the latest in video screen projection.
With the new Ben Q short projection we only need 3 feet to project your video montage and our music videos. We also offer rear projection==so you will not see the projector in front of the screen.
Here is a picture of one of our screens at a corporate function.
Contact us for all of your video needs.
The OC Wedding Pros
This was a wedding Todd and Broccardo Photography did together. Vanessa and David were married at El Adobe in Downtown San Juan Capistrano. We scheduled photos to begin 2.5 hours before the ceremony so we could capture some of the amazing landscape of downtown. This was a fun image we got... When I am all edited up I will update with a few new slideshows... Take care... PEACE
Todd and Joe are co-owners of The OC Wedding Pros
Your Grand Entrance
Most Wedding Receptions are started with the Grand Entrance. This sets the tone of your day/night reception. Important things to remember for your Grand Entrance.
1. Let your Bridal party know where they are sitting after they have been announced
2. Instruct your Bridal party not to run off after pictures/nothing worse than having to find a groomsman or bridesmaid/let them know where to meet for the Grand Entrance. You will be very busy and caught up in the moment.
3. Have fun with your Grand Entrance==Pick a song that fits your personality, (usually a Sports theme, Movie theme or TV Show theme)
We have different ways to enhance your Grand Entrance:
1. We introduce your bridal party in pairs. We have a special song for the entrance and then say something about that couple. It can be a quick saying or sentence. You can also go into detail as we tell the audience about each member of the wedding party
2. We can put special clips music/themes etc for each member of your bridal party
3. The standard is to play a fun song and we introduce your bridal party to the guests
We usually give a 10 minute/ 5 minute and 2 minute warning to the guests for the grand entrance. At 2 minutes we have everyone seated and prep the audience for your Big Entrance!!
It's the small things at your reception
Coordination is such a big part of wedding receptions. I can not tell you have many times I have had to tell the staff at a venue to pour the champagne. After the Grand Entrance, the Best Man usually will give a toast. If the staff has not poured the Champagne/Martinellis etc. the flow of the reception is off from the very start.
Before a cake cutting it is important that the staff knows so they can have the proper utensils/Glass ware etc. There is nothing worse than, "Ladies and Gentlemen at this time we will be cutting the cake==please bring your Cameras as this is a great photo opportunity of the bride and groom", only to have the staff say we are not ready.
At EMM we go over every detail with you and your coordinator. We prefer to do your coordination as we have the Microphones and music. We also know how the flow of your event should go. Usually your venue staff has to worry about the food being hot and clearing plates.
