Last year Lori and Keith Minarik hired me to help them with their wedding reception held at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel in downtown Fort Worth. Lori's parents lived here in the DFW area, but she met Keith in New York and the guests at the wedding were going to be from all over the country.

Their styles ended up being reflected in a wedding reception that flowed so much differently than what Texans might consider status quo. Following dinner, the party went into overdrive and we finally ended up calling it quits after a six hour reception!

At this reception I had a chance to work with a great videographer named Brian Cdebaca of Reflections Multimedia. Brian told me that he had put together "something special" highlighting my performance from that evening. Brian said, "I put the camera on the DJ and 99% of the time, I get a wave or a grin." Well, we were having a great time, so I showed Brian just how bad of a dancer I really am...

The caveat to watching this video is to understand, it was exactly the type of atmosphere that Lori and Keith wanted for their friends and loved ones. For those wishing to know what my lighting is capable of, this shows both lighting on the dance floor and uplighting around the Grand Ballroom of the Renaissance Worthington.

Enjoy the laugh, visit Brian's website because he's a great videographer, and I will post the "highlights" portion of this video soon to show you that the reception was just as formal as it was crazy.
