Another awesome set Kristina! I love that reflective ceiling over the dance floor there, you can get some really good lighting effects by bouncing your flash off it!

Keep up the awesome work!

YAY! I just *have* to gush at how much Joe and I love the pictures…ALL of them! Thank you thank you thank you! There’s not a single detail that escaped the flash of your cameras!!!

As for our Polish unveiling ceremony…there are many versions of this tradition out there but we followed the one that has been done at my family’s weddings for years. Sometime during the reception after the cake has been cut, the unveiling ceremony called the “Oczepiny” takes place. This is when the bride’s veil is removed as guests sing (in Polish or in English) a song called The Twelve Angels Waltz and the bride’s veil is replaced with a lace “czypeck” which signifies the woman assuming her married responsibilities. A goofy hat is placed on the groom’s head to ensure that the marriage is filled with fun and happiness.

You and your assistant Amanda have definitely made friends in AZ. We’d love to see either or both of you guys again!
