Custom Lighting

Last year I photographed a stunning wedding in New York City at Cipriani. And, as I walked into the awe inspiring room, one thing struck me as a very cool idea to add a personal touch to a ballroom. Don't get me started on talking about lighting.. Remember, I am a photographer. Lighting is often overlooked, or just thought not to be needed. I need multiple posts to go into detail of why a great lighting company is so important for almost every style of event.

Even in a massive space that is decorated to the hilt, you can still have personal touches that make it your very own. The idea that caught my attention was the use of a custom made gobo that projected the bride and grooms monogram onto the floor. The monogram not only added personalization, but it also welcomed guests into the reception as the wait staff stood at attention with cocktails in hand. It was simple idea with a powerful touch.
