Jennifer & Jeff's Wedding!
by Julie Hamilton | in Weddings

Our 2010 wedding season started off with a bang as we traveled down to San Diego for Jenn & Jeff's wedding.  The rain was threatening to ruin the festivities, but if there's one thing that we realized about Jenn & Jeff, it's that NOTHING could dampen their party!  It was obvious from the get go that Jenn & Jeff had put alot of thought and planning into their special day (which turned out to be a gorgeous sunny, breezy day) and that they had one thing in mind for their guests.....FUN!  Forgoing the usual bridal party transportation, J & J had a trolley from Old Town Trolley Tourscome to shuttle their bridal party around to the locations for the day..as you can imagine, it was a great background some images too.  The ceremony was held in The North Chapel at NTC Promenade, but after that, the crowd partied over to the Miramar Officer's Club, where Jenn works, for an evening packed with delights. This party took over the entire Officer's Club inside and out! It started off with the usual wedding reception traditions, but was filled with surprise after surprise.  FIrst, in honor of Jeff's "Husker" heritage, Jenn had a special groom's cake made just for him, in the shape of..what else? Corn.  Then, in honor of Jenn's heritage, the Lucky Lion Dancers came and performed!  It was so cool to see the dancers/acrobats going around the room and the electricity and excitement in the place just rose.  I know the guests thoroughly enjoyed their great performance as did I.  I didn't want it to end.  Then, as the DJ was working his magic, in the outdoor lounge area, there was a sound.  The unmistakeable sound of....bagpipes.  The California Celts were beginning their performance for the evening.  I loved the way they started...by playing a simple traditional sounding Irish song, while they were walking through the crowd.  As the crowd gathered, they picked up the pace and by the end of the song, they were playing Irish rock and the whole crowd was loving it! I truly don't know who had the best time: Jenn & Jeff, their guests, or us.  It was a great way to start off the 2010 wedding season! 

Jenn & Jeff, thank you for being so welcoming to us and just encouraging all to have fun.  It was such a pleasure to be there on your wedding day and to celebrate with you.  We wish you many more years of celebrating and F-U-N! 

Also, special thanks to Eddie from Studio 512 who was our awesome third shooter.  Eddie rocks.

Celebrating the Year of the Tiger with the San Francisco Symphony
by Julie Hamilton | in Just the Details, Events

San Francisco City Hall was again the site of a gorgeous event with the San Francisco Symphony, the "10th Anniversary Chinese New Year Concert & Imperial Ball."  This event was to celebrate and welcome the Year of the Tiger.  I have to say, this this was one of the most colorful and innovative events that Damion has had the privilege of capturing.  The clear, lucite chairs provided a perfect view of the gorgeous tables that were lit from within.  The color scheme, overflowing with oranges, magentas, and purples carried over into the swanky lounge area where the guests could relax and enjoy themselves.  I am in love with this event!!  Of course, our hats are fully off to the AMAZING array of work by Got Light? and the event design by Blueprint Studios.  We are so privileged to have the honor of capturing their pure artistry to share with you!! Enough said!

Keep celebrating, Julie 

The graphic designs that you see here on the bottom left and right were actually a video that was creating and filling the design in real time as the guests were celebrating!

One word:  Stunning.
