This past Saturday, we went to the Sioux Falls Convention Center to celebrate the wedding of Nick and Lisa Schlitske. There were 2 other weddings going on there, so there was definitely a party atmosphere going on. The wedding had lots of family from out of town (including the groom's entire family!)so the mood was very relaxed and there were lots of toasts and a pretty lengthy video shown. The dance portion got started a little later than we would have liked, so we didn't get to do some of the things we like to do. It was also a lot less structured than we are used to, which was good and bad. Structure allows you to get everything done you need to, and play a variety of music to satisfy all ages and tastes. This time though, the wedding party came up to us requesting songs and we just played everything the requested, along with what the bride and groom had requested ahead of time. It made for a pretty fun evening. We decided that we should almost ask for the number of the maid of honor and the best man on the planning sheet since they always seem to know more about the couple's taste in music than they themselves remember to tell us.
By the time we packed up and left, it had been a very long night and we were both exhausted! We have the next month off, barring any last minute bookings (which there are threatening to be!) and we are definitely looking forward to the break as time to regroup, reorganize, and get ready for next spring, where it is looking like we will be busy every weekend.
Some of the pictures I took ended up a little fuzzy. We were experimenting with our new Pure Digital camcorder to put videos on our website and make them available to our clients. Its a little tricky to work 2 cameras at the same time, but we will get it figured out sooner or later and the prospect of videos is very exciting! Our eventual plan is to send the couple a multimedia disc which will include their pictures, videos, and special dance songs as a keepsake of their reception. More research will have to be done to figure out how to pull that one off! Enjoy the slightly blurry photo gallery here: http://picasaweb.google.com/kristen.cline/NickAndLisaSchlitske
