Prep
Both party's prep at Embassy Suites
Call Abbie or Curtis upon arrival to get room numbers and for them to let you in.
Hotel will validate parking for vendors-- speak with them when you get there!
Elevators are guest key only
**Both C&R at Sweet House **
Basically have free reign of sweet house, mentioned we can get shots of empty rooms etc.,
Get some good establishing shots too! "Feel free to wander".
Elevator
There is an elevator on the left hand corner of the ceremony room which will go up to the reception space. Probably easiest to bring equipment up through that as to avoid the "maze of stairs."
Equipment Storage
Venue wants us to keep equipment in wedge-wood room.
Tech Notes - DJ Eddie with Truvision
Truvision is doing sound for ceremony & "dancing" reception (downstairs). Possible upstairs but its a possibility that he won't be, so be ready to figure somethin' out.
#MeetMeAtTheAltamirano
Couple & Party
Bride: Valerie Humenik
Groom: Joshua Altamirano
Moms are important!
Contact info for best man and maid of honor are attached.
Valerie's Mom
Valerie's mom is dealing with breast cancer treatment currently, try to get a lot of good footage of her.
She may be in a wheelchair for a portion of the day, they would prefer we mainly stick to the shots of her out of the wheel chair.
We do not have details about Valerie's dad, and he there is no father/daughter dance.
Music Notes
Indie, Folksy, _Chill. _Note really country people, like folk.
As far as "lovey songs go" -- Ray Lemonte, Jack Johnson, Chill music. Leon Bridges.
First dance song is Peter Gabriel, "Book of Love".
Mentioned "Chill" a few times.
** don't use _white dress _by Ben Rector. Likes Ben Rector but has heard this song too many times.**
