Lasers & Fog Create Atmosphere For "Crazy Hour"

This past Saturday's wedding had a couple of great DJ's who not only created their own live dance mixes, but also had great laser and fog effects! (The fog really helps you see the laser beams!) While most dance photos from receptions are lit by a flash, sometimes turning the flash off and getting some shots of the ambience of the darkened room can pay off big time! With the use of the lasers and fog machine, the image above shows what the room really looked like.

Besides the dance music, we had everything at this wedding including harpist Jennifer Keller, a great Mariachi band and a special treat called, "Crazy Hour." The bride and groom had hidden hats, masks and other items under the tables for their guests to put on. It turned the place into a Mardi Gras atmosphere! With these items in the hands of the guests, everybody got up onto the dance floor! What a party!

Doing something different at a wedding that your guests are not expecting can really bring life to the reception. This past Saturday really proved that. And, I'm finding that many couples today are offering cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake as well. Makes a lot of sense to me... it's easier to serve and people who want one can just go up and take one! This couple had theirs arranged like a wedding cake. Cool!
