A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Chris & Jordan’s Hand-Picked Tunes
If it wasn’t the romantic setting, or the love that oozes from shots, or the pops of yellow, it was most definitely the hand-picked selection of songs that sealed this as a Hi-Fi feature! Chris and Jordan had an awesome reason behind the songs they selected for their cd favor:
Our idea with the CD Favor music was that since we were having a semi-photography theme, we looked for songs that mentioned photography in general or would be a sweet soundtrack to a photo road trip type of thing. You know, on the road speeding into the sunset with a quick pull off the road to snap a quick shot right before the sun disappears kinda feel. We also wanted to feature and weave songs through the CD favor that we used in our ceremony. We tried to stay away from typical wedding songs and wanted a more current mix overall. So here is what we hand picked ourselves.
CD FAVOR:
Green Screens – Sleeping at Last
Tonight, Tonight (cover) – Passion Pit
The Last Satellite – Quiet Science

CEREMONY:
Since our ceremony was going to have a “story” theme and based on Donald Millers Book, A Million Miles In A Thousand Years, I knew immediately that I wanted to use Sleeping at Last as our main music. Their lyrics are so colorful and they just paint these lyrical pictures that are so beautiful and almost story-like.
