After having been through all of Tiff and Phil's incredible wedding pictures, I put together a really neat slideshow! :)

But I was left with a problem: there was so much good stuff that I couldn't do it justice by trying to squeeze it all into one slideshow. I do try and edit my work down, really :)  However, I then recalled that I kind of envisioned their wedding divided into two segments before I ever even looked at any of my work. So uhm, yeah, I came full circle. I guess it was my plan all along (right?).

So, ladies and gentlemen, there are TWO--yes, TWO--slideshows! Ahhhh yeahhhhhhhhh...........

The first slideshow encompases the whole wedding up until the garter toss, which often signals the end point, or close to it. Note that this one *does* include Jeremy Buck's set as that was more part of the "regular" portion of the planned wedding entertainment. (Speaking of Jeremy and the garter toss: yes, that really is Tiff's garter lodged in his Mohawk in the last shot, and yes it really happened like that.)

So being as that this was clearly *not* a "usual" wedding (you did pick up on that, didn't you?), the festivities continued as previously described (in the prior post). So the second slideshow is mostly "Tiff and Phil's 'Concert Footage'" if you will. It's much shorter at just about a minute and a half. I needed a short kick-@$$ tune that was pure rock, so be warned that you *may* want to be prepared to turn your speakers and/or the player volume down...... or crank it UP, depending on your musical sensibilities and where you're watching :) It moves fast, so don't blink. Seriously. I chose a tune from Soundgarden, which was fronted by the amazing vocalist Chris Cornell, also singing for Audioslave on I am the Highway, the track in the first slideshow. Highway was Tiff and Phil's first dance song <3 :)

Ususally I set up a slideshow to start automatically, however since there are two, I made it so that you'll need to hover your mouse over the picture and click on it to start.

Enjoy the shows! Comments are always welcome :)

Tiff and Phil had a *REAL* rock n' roll wedding in Las Vegas at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas.

So what do I mean real? I'm talkin' tickets, laminated backstage passes, "security" people, a green room, theatrical and stage lighting, bic lighters, long hair (yes, I'm jealous of all that great hair on the men and the ladies), real ink + temporary tattoos for everyone, a hot pink and leopard print color scheme, and music.

A LOT of music.

The guys wore crisp new tees of their favorite bands (complete with coordinating Vans shoes) so that they were ready to party immediately after the ceremony--all they had to do was take off their jackets :) Going by that, the processional, and the ipod selections, artists included Guns n' Roses, AC/DC, Audioslave, Iron Maiden, Van Halen and Anthrax, among many others.

Jeremy Buck and The Bang hammered out a tight set, and then after dinner everybody jammed, with Phil doing most of the vocals, and Jeremy with his bandmates and so many other people taking turns on so many different songs and instruments I lost track.

I'm still working on editing and a slideshow, but I wanted to share some of my favorites so far :)

Update: Phil sent me this kind note:

“Aloha Michael,

We got back from Maui yesterday and I must say the first thing we did was pull up your blog to view the teaser pics.  WOW!  …. A million wonderful thank you’s again for stepping up to the plate at the last minute.  You knocked it out of the park alright.  We are so very appreciate of everything you did for us and of course being so understanding…

Much Love,

Phil & Tiff”

COOL!! :)

ALSO: Their slide shows (TWO!) have been posted in a new thread.
