Recently I have had a few brides ask me if I had heard any good bouquet toss songs at any of the weddings I had shot.  (They were sick of Single Ladies and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.)  I thought about it and realized that those were really the only two songs I could even remember….I mean, REALLY?!  Those two songs couldn’t possibly define all wedding bouquet toss mosments….so I decided to do some digging, expanded the list, and now I am sharing it all with you.

These songs were found off of internet searches, playlists of previous brides, and my own iTunes account.  Hope you enjoy what I came up with and Happy Wedding Planning!

Jaimee and Alex’s wedding day was filled with love, laughter, fun, and LOTS of gold sparkle!  (You can’t go wrong with gold sparkle!)  We walked into the girls room at the Padre hotel to discover that everyone was ready and Jaimee was waiting to put her gown on.  The girls were sipping mimosas and enjoying the morning.  (I’ve never walked into a wedding day like that before!  It was fantastic)  We photographed their details, got Jaimee into her dress, and away we went….Jaimee and Alex did their first look outside of the Padre Hotel and it was so much fun.  We went right into their bride and groom pictures, only for me to discover that the groomsmen were trying to photobomb them!  Don’t worry, I snapped a pic before I moved us along….(I guess that’s what happens when the groomsmen are Marshall and Joaquin….always goofing off!)  The ceremony took place at a private residence in Bakersfield and everyone danced the night away under a big white tent.  We are so excited for Alex and Jaimee and can’t wait for you to see the photos from their wedding day.

Enjoy!

We are looking for up to 6 fun, confident, outgoing, girls (or guys) to represent Ashley dePencier Photography as a Senior Rep for the Class of 2015.

During the holiday season, I had the pleasure of photographing my friend Paige’s senior portrait session at Hart Park.  Though it was a bit cold, we had a great time walking around, expolring places to photograph, and talking.  She was up for my suggestions, which helps to give a fun and unique session, and really lets your personality shine in your photos.  Senior portraits are a great way to express yourself and document a special time in your life.  If you are graduating from high school or college soon, start thinking about the session you want to have.  Now is the time to start planning and booking.

Please enjoy Paige’s photos.

Ps.  Paige, I wish I had your hair!!!!  So jealous of how long and curly it is!
