You Oughta Know

I have been fortunate to get to work with some really great wedding vendors.   When I come across someone who does an exceptional job, I like to let others know about them. So in that spirit, here are two people who recently really impressed me with their talent, energy and a great attitude on the big day.

Ron at Ron K. Smith Productions did an amazing job at Whitney and TJ's wedding on December 22 (watch for them on the blog soon). The music was incredible and he seamlessly guided the couple through all their reception events, from the first dance to the cake cutting, the bouquet and garter toss to the last dance. There's a reason he's one of the most highly-recommended wedding DJs in the area -- he's really great at what he does. Check out his website -- it's full of really useful info and planning tips. When I find myself dancing around as I'm photographing all the fun at the reception, I know that's one amazing DJ behind the mike! Ron's company also provides videography too.

Bonnie Boender is the talented floral designer behind the images below. She did all the flowers for Kristen and Matthew's  October wedding. Bonnie is one of those people that you just automatically feel comfortable with from the moment you meet her. She does it all -- from gorgeous bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres to table arrangements for the reception. She's dedicated to her brides and will go above and beyond to make them happy, whether it's looking for a hard-to-find flower or searching out the perfect ribbon. Bonnie takes on a limited number of weddings per year to give her clients top-notch service, so if you're looking for a florist, send her an email today: bjboender@earthlink.net.
