I’ve finally launched the Vendor page full of rock-tastic people that will be updated frequently…so it’s never too late to join the fun! It’s been wonderful meeting all of these talented folks that come together in the name of love. One of my favorite things is finding out a vendor’s personal wedding qualifies as a Hi-Fi Wedding! I’m excited to introduce the souls that are behind the lenses of the talented Studio Castillero – and how Rachel & Rico started the rest of their lives together!

When we got married, the music was one of the most important things to me (no joke, even more important than my dress…photography of course was the other non-negotiable). I wanted our wedding to be a reflection of who we were as a couple and the music was key in that. So, below is just a small sampling of our wedding list…

Processional: The Luckiest – Ben Folds
Recessional: Clocks – Coldplay
First Dance: Home – Duncan Sheik

Background songs before ceremony, and during the reception/cocktail hour:
Beatles – In My Life
Ben Folds – Sentimental Guy
Ben Harper – Beloved One
Bob Dylan – Girl From North County
Denison Witmer – I Won’t Leave, Say You’ll Stick Around
Sufjan Stevens – To Be Alone With You, That Dress Looks Nice On You (and many many many more)
Imogen Heap – Hide & Seek
Iron & Wine – Such Great Heights
Radiohead – All I Need, True Love Waits
Liz Story – Valse d’Amelie (from Amelie)
Ryan Adams – Wonderwall
Sia – Breathe Me
The Verve – Lucky Man
Postal Service – Brand New Colony, Such Great Heights
Eels – Sweet Lil Thing
Death Cab for Cutie – Transatlanticism, Marching Bands of Manhattan (and many more)
Format – On Your Porch
M.Ward – To Go Home, Lets Dance
Nada Surf – Always Love
Michael Jackson – Billy Jean
Rufus Wainwright – Baby

Also, if I was planning my wedding now, I TOTALLY would have thrown in some Sigur Ros and Bon Iver…since they are so much a part of who Rico and I are, I thought they were worth a mention.
