If you asked me for a list of reasons why we loved our photography, videography and DJ team I could write you a novel. Not only did they knock it out of the park with their service...s, but they are so much fun to be around. Josh and I both can say we made 4 new awesome friends at our wedding out of this incredible team.
Our photographers, Joey Aquino and Jessica Hall, captured our most treasured moments in such a beautiful way. Of course, their amazing talent made sure the lighting was perfect and the camera was lined up just right, but they also caught every moment. Even the special moments where we thought nobody was watching. Every moment that you will hold close to your heart for the rest of your life. They both also had us giggling all day and night long! They had so many ideas of new photos to take, new poses to try, and new ways to make us twirl around with joy.
Our videographer, Devin Rohrs, took what felt like normal routine moments and reminded us how special each breath with each other and our loved ones is. His attention to details made the simple things magnify. He captured the love in our hearts and made it shine brightly before us on replay. Devin makes you feel like you are one of the most special couples he has ever met and that all of your hard work planning for this day paid off in a huge way. He makes you feel seen and beautiful for who you are. And somehow all of that shows up in the videos, too.
Our DJ, Omo Jimoh, was the life of the party at our wedding. Omo came early, and set up not one—but two stations so he could be a part of everything at the reception. He checked in on us frequently, making sure we had everything we needed and that we were having the perfect evening. Then when dinner was over, the party came alive through Omo’s music and the captivating way he interacted with the guests. He kept everyone having the time of their lives out on the dance floor. You can tell that he knows how to speak through music and his personality is one of the kindest and most energetic personalities that blends to become someone you can’t help but want to be around. He makes you want to jump with joy and his talent has you dancing all across the room.
You don’t realize it when you book your photography, videography, and DJ team that they are going to be doing everything with you all day. As you get ready, as you walk down the aisle, as you say your vows and light your candles, as you pose with your bridal party and your family, as you make your reception entrance and get introduced as Mr. And Mrs., as you’re toasting, dancing, cutting cake, crying over your best friends’ speeches, being whisked away by your limo after a sparkling send off, and every moment in between. You spend a lot of precious moments with this crew that you’ve hired. But Joey, Jessica, Devin, and Omo weren’t just a crew of paid vendors. No, they became special friends that made everything more fun, they hyped us up, and reminded us to soak it all in and feel how special each moment is. Even further, when their shots lists were complete and the last hour we booked them for was up, they stayed late to continue capturing the moments. And then, they put their gear away and celebrated right alongside us on the dance floor. Genuinely wanting to have fun and celebrate our marriage with us. There isn’t a more perfect group of people that you want to spend those intimate moments with on your special day. You can take it from us.
