Thank you so much for the kind praise via WeddingWire:
Angela and Mandy with Artistic Soup Photography were a dream to work with!

Angela was very flexible working with me to set up a last minute bridal session before the wedding and my images were absolutely stunning.

The wedding day was a breeze and both Angela and Mandy came prepared with a photo list I’d made for them and got us through all the formal shots with no problem. There were over 1600 pictures from my wedding and I don’t think there was a single one that I didn’t like. Their shots were artistic and modern, but they still made the time to get the more classic shots I wanted.

They were both very patient with my less than enthused groom and groomsmen (why do men not like getting fun pictures taken?!) and captured all the special moments of the day.

I’m am so happy to have such great images to remember my day and someday show off to my children.

So sweet to give a family member a birthday surprise!

Oh what fun!

Pure Romance!

Ambient lighting, a DJ booth, and three 42-inch plasma televisions behind the bar complete the smart and sophisticated design.

Dedicated to please every desire, the main nightclub has two 30-foot bars on each end of the venue with three five-foot red chandeliers centered overhead. Five red-leathered recessed banquettes rise above each side of the club and surround a 30 by 60 foot Brazilian walnut wood dance floor framed by 20 bottle service tables.
