The Wedding of Stephanie & Christian


This week we had the honor of providing the photo services and DJ services for the wedding of Stephanie & Christian. As most of my many followers already know, Memories by Mark provides DJ services for weddings and parties as a natural extension of the services we have provided for over 25 years.  Believe me, I have heard every DJ in the area and I have leaned a great deal to understand what music and actions work and which flop.  That's the beauty of being a photographer turned DJ.  Other DJ's only hear themselves and don't see how other DJ's work.  Additionally, working as a DJ four nights a week performing trivia gives you a great insight on how to entertain people.
The day began at Stephanie's house in White City as Suzanne arrived at the house to take the pre-ceremony photos while I was at The Truth Church in Ft. Pierce setting up the sound and lighting systems. Dark and threatening skies began to roll in just before the ceremony and Stephanie was able to get inside the church before the heavy rains began. It was a moving ceremony that concluded with unity sand before it was sealed with a kiss.  Then after the photos inside the church with friends and family it was off to the reception held at the church social hall next door.

The reception venue was decorated beautifully with chair covers and unique driftwood centerpieces on each table and the buffet station looked yummy.  Next, DJ Mark introduced the bridal party before ramping it up for the entrance of the bride and groom followed by parents dances, the toast and blessing of the meal, and the opening of the buffet line.  After a quick dinner, the partying began  with a host of classic rock and roll music followed by more crowd favorites.  The dance floor was packed almost all night, except for the cake cutting, and bouquet and garter toss.  The party continued until past 10:00 pm as the bride and groom had their last dance before the night ended.  After all, it was a "school night" and everyone had to get the kids (or themselves) home to bed for school or work in the morning. It was a great wedding and we had a lot of fun providing the photos, music and lighting for this event.  God bless you both!
Since 1985 Memories by Mark has been providing award winning photography, videography, photo booth rentals, and event up lighting.  We have a package to fit every budget and every circumstance.  Don't trust your memories on an unknown, unlicensed, uninsured photographer that had a cheap price on Craig's List!  
You do not have a second chance to get your wedding memories captured correctly nor is a family friend or relative that has a camera qualified to shoot your wedding.  It really makes no sense to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding and then not photograph and/or videotape the event correctly. You cannot compare the price of photography to a cake or limo as those are just a one time, one use portion of your wedding.  Your photos and videos will last a lifetime so call us today at (772) 466-5747 to find out how affordable our rates are to have a lifetime of....Memories......by Mark!
