There is not, there has never been and there will never be an event that I do where lighting........is not one of the most important component to the overall design and "well being". Weddings especially need good lighting to soften the hard edges of a venue, or to warm the visual "heart" of your guests, or just to simply make everything look "prettier".

If you can afford a good lighting designer, I highly recommend that you hire one immediately to over see and install lighting that will truly make your wedding or event BREATHTAKING...........if you cannot afford a lighting designer, then honey.....let's make a few trips to Ikea, and load up on candles.......!Some of the most beautiful weddings I have ever done were completely planned around candle light. One GORGEOUS "Morrocan" wedding had centerpieces of just masses of different sizes of candles in clear glass cylinders......(it was GORGOUS, and not matter what anybody says at the El Cortez....they did not set off the fire alarms!) 

Here are a few examples of simple lighting.....ok, and maybe not so simple. I hope you enjoy!
