With a good friend getting married in just a few short weeks (that we can’t wait to capture photo and video for!), we were asked recently to come up with a list of our top 20 songs for wedding receptions.
Nothing will kill the vibe of your wedding faster than a bad song selection, wether you have a DJ or a band … and so, for fun, we decided we’d share our favorites.
This is our list of the songs that we see get people out on the dance floor every time we capture a wedding. These are the songs that tempt us to put down our cameras and dance alongside you … the songs that have us busting a move on the sidelines as we capture your guests. These are the songs that we come home repeating in our head for the next 24 hours.
