A Midsummer Night In The Manor House

Manor House at Commonwealth

I absolutely LOVE the Manor House at Commonwealth National Golf. There is nothing quite like the feeling of celebrating a reception in a facility designed to feel like a home away from home. In my opinion, it's the more unique facilities that encourage guests to really relax, unwind, and just "be themselves".

Ellen and Curt's photographer, Ken Lee of Marsella Studio, is someone I always enjoy working with. He not only takes great photos, but is someone I can count on to always be nearby, ready to capture the next important moment.

I can't tell you how many times I have searched for a missing photographer... It's a little stressful.

Do you see the video below? That was the second song played after the bridal party was introduced and Ellen and Curt shared their first dance. You read that right. The second song after the first dance.

Their friends and family came to party!

From dancing to singing to laughing and shouting, there was activity on the dance floor nearly all night long! By the way, Curt... I personally enjoyed hearing you and your best man singing some Bonnie Tyler. It's been awhile since I've played "Total Eclipse of the Heart".

Congratulations, Ellen and Curt!
