Wedding: Nicole and Paul in Hamilton, 6/22/13

Back to blogging -- finally!  It's been a busy summer.  For this wedding, it's a road trip southeast of Syracuse to the charming village of Hamilton, in Madison County.  Actually, I didn't even see the village for Nicole and Paul's wedding reception -- for this wonderful late June evening, friends and family converged on the White Eagle Conference Center, a few miles outside of the village.  And you'll see in this post, this wedding reception was unique in more ways than one.

First and foremost, this wedding reception was unique in that it's perhaps the only (or maybe just the second?) time ever that the entire thing came together without a single face-to-face meeting beforehand.  Nicole and Paul live down in Norwich -- so it was easier for them to just meet "virtually" over the phone and via email.  Everything came together as planned!

In the photos, you'll also see the unique setup for the reception hall -- instead of being on the dance floor, they have the DJ set up on a balcony overlooking the floor.  While it felt unusual to be farther away from the dance floor, it was nice to crank up the speakers from up above, and it was nice to have a larger area to cover with my dance lights.  The lighting truss, which is normally up over my table, was basically right in front of me this time, since I was already well above the dance floor -- and only needed the lights to be high enough to get over the balcony railing.

A wonderful evening at a beautiful facility. The serving staff was top notch and the crowd loved all of the music, from country to disco, to top 40 and some oldies.  Here's what Nicole posted on my Facebook page:
