Lauren and Jon got married on September 5th, 2010 at the beautiful Geneva National Golf Club in Lake Geneva, WI. This was the first time I had been here for a wedding so I wasn't sure what to expect for set up or weather since it was planned to be outside. I got there and realized that I was missing a camera battery. That left me scrambling to figure out how to film with both cameras when I only had a battery for one of them. Luckily, I had brought extension cords and was able to find an outlet close enough that I could run the cable to the stationary camera and just keep it plugged in throughout the ceremony and what I had to do the rest of the evening during the reception.
The ceremony was held out on the lawn over looking Lake Como. It was a beautiful view and a great place for a wedding. The flowers were beautiful, the string quartet was great and everyone seemed to enjoy the day. The weather held up for the most part. It was quite windy and cloudy, but the only rain that came was just after the ceremony thankfully, and there was not much of it. Everyone I encountered at the ceremony was very friendly and helpful if needed.
Inside the clubhouse ballroom was where the reception took place. It was set up wonderfully. It didn't feel too crowded and had a wall that was all windows overlooking the lake and where the ceremony had just taking place. Very nice view. I really liked the cake as it had a traditional look to it, but also had a bride and groom on the green of a golf hole. That was nice touch that they added to it. It tasted great too! Table settings were nice as well. After dinner, the slideshow I had put together was shown and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Seeing Lauren and Jon growing up through pictures to where they were on that day must have been special for many of the people that attended the wedding.
Once the music began, the dance floor was never empty. The DJ for the night was fantastic. He was by far the best at keeping people having a good time, a good entertainer for the evening and very knowledgeable. When there may have been a lull here and there, he would always have an interesting story to share about marriage traditions. I don't know about everyone else, but I found those stories to be quite interesting. There was also a photobooth available for those wanting to take home a little something for themselves. This seems to be a growing trend at weddings and I personally think that it is a great idea. The photographers were also great at both working together with me and the DJ and being able to get the shots they needed without being intrusive. And the wedding planner for the day had at least one other, maybe two weddings that she was doing that day and seemed to do it flawlessly. She was always there to check on everything and was able to help me out with some of the requests that I had.
Overall, this wedding was a ton of fun to be at and I loved working with everyone I encountered. Thank you again to Lauren and Jon for giving me the opportunity to be there to capture your day and give you a way to always remember it. I hope the past 5 months have treated you well and congratulations again!
