Michelle & Jason Raines 4-12-2016

Jason & Michelle was smart to bring on a planner to help provide consultation, support and to take care all of the day-of activities of their GRAND DAY. I remember my first meeting with this lovely couple.... They admittedly confessed that they were in over their heads thinking they could manage and handle all that planning a wedding would entailed. We talked small and big details... They shared about their families and how they wanted to incorporate them on their wedding day. The ceremony took place at a catholic church, one that held a lot sentiment to the groom as it was the same church his late mother was a member of and where his parents wedded many years ago. The bride, Michelle being of Filipino decent had some traditional customs that she wanted to partake in during her ceremony; The lock, key & chain was one of the few customs that added to the beauty of their simple, but breathtaking ceremony...

I remember being so impressed with Michelle and Jason's love and strong family bonds... There was no task too big, Michelle's brother's were ready and willing to execute, help and support to contribute to one of the biggest and most memorable days of their sister and soon to be brother-in-law lives.. Meeting the families on both sides was just sheer joy as they all had a common goal in mind. They were excited and full of excitement to be present and they wanted to ensure that both Michelle & Jason was going to experience a wedding of their lifetime.. This wedding was screaming vintage starting from the church where the ceremony was performed to the Old Ancient Casino.Museum venue that was chosen to get loose for the reception festivities.. The theme was the Great Gatsby and it was so appropriate! The enthusiastic and energetic dj brought down the house like no other. Every angle of the room was filled with laughter, dancing and just a full out celebration. He keep the guest motivated and on their feet, guest were then ushered with a HORA LOCA, Crazy Hour filled with beads, masks, and the like, but we couldn't end the night without lining up the guest along the lawn of the venue with sparklers to send off the lovely and beautiful couple to their lives together as man and wife... Congrats and Many Blessings to Mr & Mrs Jason Raines!
