* It was a Friday the 13th wedding. Nothing bad happened.  It was all good.

Wedgewood Banquet Center’s been good to me.  They have wonderful in-house DJ’s like Robin and Scott.  They also have a Spanish DJ 

Wedgewood is a friendly place for wedding vendors.  They take care of wedding vendors.  I always fee comfortable with them.  Bartenders, waiters, DJ, and rest of the staff members are quite likable.  I have a lot of fun memories here.  And I took a lot of fun pictures here at Wedgewood Banquet Center.

One of the memorable pictures I have taken at Wedgewood Golf Club is this group picture 4 years ago (below, 2005).  Apparently, my current customer saw those pictures as well.  The bride asked me to take same group pictures for them as well.

It was just when the wedding ceremony was over.  The bride and groom just kissed and walked down the isle.  As soon as they walked down the isle, the bride asked me about that group picture.  “I saw group pictures you took here on your website, can we take that picture?”  So I told the wedding coordinator “If they want that group pictures, we must announce right now before they start walking way”  “It has to be right now~!!”  (It was not the time to be polite – I was yelling ).

The wedding coordinator called the DJ on her radio, and the DJ made an announcement for group pictures.  Everything worked out perfect.

Back to Wedgewood Banquet Center
March 2009. Look at the trees, they are taller now.

Look at that picture… that’s a cute group shot.  I also photographed them waving at me as well, just like the one from 2005 wedding.

One thing I like about Wedgewood Banquet Center is that you have this elevated view point so you can take a large group pictures.

Sun was setting so fast, I had to direct people like a plane was going down.  We managed to photograph all the needed shots.  The wedding guests worked with me (and for me) without any delay.  I felt thankful for making everything so smooth for me.

Reception was fun.  Later, the bride told me “It was everything I wanted a wedding to be”.  A lot of people danced (a lot of dancing means the wedding was a success)

Good time.
