CHRIS AND ELIZABEHT 10-25-2008 

Saturday brought us back to the Esperanza Mansion on Keuka Lake, one of our favorite venues, for Chris and Elizabeth’s Ceremony and Reception. The Ceremony was great, overlooking Keuka Lake and while the weather was less then desirable with rain all day, it stopped for a short time during the ceremony and created a great background for some beautiful pictures. I however, left my camera inside and didn’t get any of the ceremony. I ran a wireless hand held on a stand for the efficient and readers, and provided a lav mic for Chris, which picked up both His and Bess’ voices during there vows. 
Ceremony went perfect! 

After the Ceremony, we proceeded to cocktail hour. Introductions were done a little differently where we first introduced all of the Groomsmen who entered in a big pack, and then introduced all the Bridesmaids who entered in a pack. It was kind of cool as they all came in with arms flying and hooting and hollering (as directed by there MC during line-ups) which really brought the energy levels up in the room. Chris and Bess entered to the Buffalo Sabres entrance song. So coming out of the BM’s and GM’s entrances into the Sabre’s entrance song, lifted the energy even more. 

From there we went into First Dances, Toasts and dinner. The overall night was very high energy as people began dancing even during cocktail hour and dinner.  

Chris & Elizabeth's First Dance was to "My love for you is real" by Ryan Adams.

Father-Daughter Dance. "I hope you dance" by Leanne Womack

Mother-Son Dance. "A song for my son on his wedding day."

Elizabeth, stealing from the cookie jar?

This was my last Wedding of the season and I don’t think I could have asked for it to end on a better note. Chris and Elizabeth were are a great couple who invited a fun and energetic group of friends and family members to join them for there celebration.

Chris and Elizabeth, Congratulations!
