Married In Montgomery County

Sara & Mark
August 29, 2009
La Massaria at Bella Vista
Gilbertsville, PA
Web Site

La Massaria is one of my most favorite facilities to entertain in. They offer imaginative menus and original, cutting edge event planning and production. Their careful attention to every detail enables you to enjoy being a guest at your own wedding reception! As a matter of fact, I like to joke with Brad Williams (La Massaria's Wedding Specialist) that he is "too efficient" and "provides his clients with WAY too much dancing time".

I also had the pleasure of working with Rick Blanco. You should check out his web site. They take some outstanding sparklers photos! I just got off the phone with Maria at Blanco Photography, who said she'll be sending some photos for my blog. Stay tuned for them to appear!

I also had the pleasure of working with another true professional, Steve Bonetz of Absolute Video. In addition to keeping me humble, I enjoy the times I get to work with Steve because of his unobtrusive approach to capturing an event.

Sara and Mark's guests were AMAZINGLY friendly! I was really struck by how they were not only really nice when they came up with requests, but EVERYONE seemed to have "PermaSmile". Everytime I looked up, the dance floor was filled and every face had a smile on it! Awesome!

Check out the video below, by the way. I decided to test some new lighting for the dancing hours. What do you think?

Congratulations, Sara & Mark!
