Save the Date Stickers

por | | 0 comments

Like printed magnets, stickers are another way to "stick" a date of an event in a guest's mind. The idea is that your guest can affix the sticker on a calendar, or in a planner book.

Given that purpose, you wouldn't want to send your guest a gigantic sticker- just something small, with the date.

Save the Date Stickers

In this photograph is a good example of a small but effective card and sticker combination for a sweet 16 save the date party. The card is 4.1x2.6 inches, and the sticker is about an inch in diameter. With custom and personalized design services that STDO offers, it is easy to coordinate the card and sticker design.

I would recommend no larger than 2 inches in diameter for a save the date sticker.

This is a promo video with my clients, Jen and Patrick. This was their real engagement session. I had my sister, NiƱa, document the shoot and edit this great video for me. We used one of my favorite songs from The Cranberries, which really gives a nice feel to my whole vision of photography: heart-warming and full of life.

I also build insanely awesome sites for you to share your wedding details with friends and family. Something much like this one: http://daneandsami.jenmayphotography.com

WEDDING: At Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton, CA

por | | 0 comments

CONGRATULATIONS, Jenna and Tyler!!!

Sometimes, Mother Nature has a fantastic way of giving gifts. The couple, who planned their outdoor wedding months ago, were faced this week with the possibility of showers, especially after a week of sporadic rainfall... But, after much good energy and positive thinking toward hopes of a sunny day, we were fortunate to have it turn out to be a lovely California afternoon. The dirt beneath the grass was a bit mushy, but not muddy, and the ceremony was a complete success.

Tyler and Jenna are a testament to the term, "go with the flow". They are one of the most easygoing, unstressed couples i have had the pleasure to officiate for! Their lovely, intimate wedding took place with about 60 guests in the lovely grass area of Muckenthaler Cultural Centre. The venue's fantastic staff was led by the unflappable Rick. You are assured to receive the best service in his extremely capable hands.

Many thanks also to Duane, catering director and Muckenthaler events coordinator extraordinaire!

Tea Room Bridal Shower

por | | 0 comments

My amazing maid of honor threw me a gorgeous bridal shower over Thanksgiving weekend! She held it at Holly Berry Tea Room, an adorable tea room in an old house in the historic part of my hometown. Since it was the day after Thanksgiving, it was already decorated for Christmas!

Tea Room Bridal Shower
We started with delicious tea sandwiches, chips, gelato, and lemon cream cake. Yummmm


We moved on to some party games! First up was Clare and Anthony trivia:
  • When did Clare and Anthony meet? (August 26, 2003)
  • How did you meet? (student orientation for Turing Scholars)
  • Where was your first date? (Mozart's Coffee Shop)
  • How long did you date? (5 years)
  • Where did Anthony propose? (Mozart's Coffee Shop)
  • How many animals do you and Anthony own? (24)
  • How many animals do you roughly hope to own? (in the hundreds - mainly geckos)
  • Where is Anthony from? (New Jersey)
  • What animal distracted you before Anthony's proposal? (turtles in the water!)
  • What other important event was taking place the night of your proposal? (Obama's DNC speech)
Everyone was also asked to anonymously write down some marriage advice for me, which I read out loud. They ran the gamut from "Don't go to bed angry", "Win every fight", and "Try not to fight".

Remember my bridal shower outfit? I think it turned out well!

Going with the tea room theme, the favors were tea mugs with an infuser, similar to these from World Market.

Thanks to my lovely ladies for throwing me a beautiful shower!

Ritu and Ven are a great couple and I was delighted when they asked me to be their official wedding photographer at the magnificent Thornton Manor in Thornton Hough, Cheshire.

I already new Ritu from a few years previously when I photographer her brother Ajey's wedding to his sweetheart Teedah at Slaley Hall in Northumberland which comprised a UK civil ceremony followed by an Indian wedding ceremony.

This time there was a civil ceremony, then a nod to Ven's Sri Lankan heritage with a Poruwa ceremony and then later in the day we had a Hindu ceremony to mark Ritu's family heritage - three weddings in one day, and what a wedding celebration it was!

I travelled down to Cheshire the previous day so that I would be 'on site' for the start of the wedding celebrations. I would hate to think I would be stuck on the M62 behind an accident on the day ..... noghtmare. So it was nice to meet with Ajay Shah, who had also arrived early to set up the Wish Tree.

Unforunately many of the travelling guests had their own schedules demolished by a bad accident on the M6 which in the end meant that some didnt get to bed until 2am or 3am on the day of the ceremonies!

I was up bright and early and met with Ritu and her sister Reeta while she was having her first session with Lara from Makeup by Lara for her civil ceremony and Poruwa ceremony. I was fascinated as I had never seen High-Definition Air Brush Make-Up before, where the bride's makeup is substantially applied with an airbrush ... amazing to see!

I then headed over to say Hello to Ritu's brother Ajay who was in charge of the day, making sure that everything was running to plan and everyone was in the right places with so many ceremonies and parts to the day - great to see him and Teedah after four years since their wedding, and their delightful son Max too!

I bumped into Ven as well as he finished his preparations for the day - though he did look a little nervous and was a bit quieter than I remembered his from our pre-wedding photography shoot at Rudding Hall near Harrogate!

Thornton Manor is an exquisite private mansion that is available for exclusive use weddings in Cheshire, the multiple rooms including the sensational Music Room are ideal for an Asian wedding or any large wedding celebrations - it is quite beautiful.

12.30pm seemed to come along rather more quickly than any of us expected, so soon it was off on the walk along the Lime Tree Avenue into the dining room where the civil ceremony was to be held. The 200 guests were straining their necks as we walked into the room - Ritu looked sensational in her cream wedding sari, and Ven's face went from nervousness and concern as Ritu arrived to be a big broad grin as she made it to his side!

Once the ceremony was over and flower petals marked their departure from the room, we quickly walked ontothe terrace at the side of Thornton Manor so that we could let the guests make their way to the area set aside for the Sri Lankan Poruwa which was at the side of the Lime trees.

Traditional Sri Lankan dancers and drummers then led the groom and the bride's parties seperately to the ceremony with much noise and colour and even acrobatics and leaps into the air by the dancers. Wow!

Ritu and Ven raised a big laugh when part of the ceremony needed Ven to put a necklace onto Ritu .. which didn't quite work out as planned. From there it was time for a break for champagne and fantastic Asian canapes, Mango Lhassi's, Pimms and a wonderful Asian buffet - it also gave us some time to get traditional photographs of family and guests and friends - alll done quickly and naturally with a laugh and a smile!

Later, Ritu went back to the Bridal Mews at Thornton Manor for another hair and make-up session with Lara and Ven went with his best man and groomsmen to get ready for the arrival of the Indian Dholis (drummers) who would annonce the start of the Hindu ceremony at 4pm.

Ven looked magnificent in his cream suit and his attendents looked quite the part with their green and gold scarves, as I popped back to see Ritu getting ready with her beautful red green and gold sari - she just looked fantastic all day long considering how little sleep she had enjoyed.

Despite the fact the dholis were late, the start of the ceremony at the front of Thornton Manor got underway with 'the boys' throwing all sorts of shapes and really getting into the celebration mood as they danced toward the front door and the family's were introduced to each other in a traditional ceremony before we moved inside for the arrival of the bride.

The music room looked amazing all dressed for the Hindu ceremony, and there was a hush as the bride arrived with her bridesmaids, all looking just stunning. The ceremony takes about an hour or more and involved many important component parts - including fire!

Once that third ceremony was over all the guests moved back to the reception rooms for champagne and more canapes to keep everyone going before the main meal of the day at 9.30pm.

This gave me my first real opportunity to grab a few photographs of the bride and groom for ten minutes, as Asian weddings are so family orientated that often its difficult for the bride and groom to have any time on their own - such are the demands, and their wedding day was so long and intense, I think even they appreciated the time we had together.

The team at Thornton Manor did a brilliant job transforming the Music Room from an Indian Wedding ceremony to a wonderful room fit for an evening wedding celebration and meal in not more than 90 minutes.

The food was great, the speeches were a laugh all the way, and as it turned to 12.30 am the first dance got underway in a swirl of dry ice, the dholi drummers banging music and happiness.

WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY OF WEDDING CELEBRATIONS AT THORNTON MANOR IN CHESHIRE FOR RITU AND VEN - SUCH A DAY TO REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A PART OF THE SECOND WEDDING IN THE AGARWAL FAMILY!

PLEASE ENJOY THIS SNEAK PEAK FROM THE HUNDREDS OF FINAL EDITED IMAGES. WHEN RITU AND VEN RETURN FROM HONEYMOON THEY WILL SEND OUT THE ACCESS CODE SO THAT ALL OF YOU CAN VIEW THEIR FINAL EDITED IMAGES WHICH TELL THE STORY OF THEIR GREAT WEDDING CELEBRATIONS
