    If you’re wanting a wedding reception that has your guests dancing the night away, then you need entertainment that sets the stage. So band or DJ? When you have the band-versus-dj discussion, you need to think about what each has to offer before signing a contract. A great dj is better than a mediocre band any day, but a live band has wonderful energy that you can’t get from recorded music. You decide which fits your party better. Reasons to book a DJ:* He’s affordable (dj prices start at about $500 for five hours; bands are often a minimum of $3,000)* Will play any song you want* Can w...

    Back in October, I shared some really special engagement photos taken by the very talented Linda Crayton of a very special couple, Janelle and Matt.  I now have the pleasure of sharing that same couple’s incredible wedding photos shot again by LindaCrayton. The bride and her bridesmaids spent the morning with makeup artist, Kim Giammaria of Beauty Mark and hairstylist Giselle of Hair by Giselle before heading over to St Peter’s Catholic Church on Capitol Hill for the very emotional wedding ceremony.  After the ceremony, the bride and groom took photos while guests made t...

    via Craig Mitchell Dyer A great new trend in reception ideas is karaoke! Instead doing your typical reception full of the Cha Cha Slide or the Chicken Dance, add a fun surprise with everyone’s favorite sing-a-long game! It will liven up the mood and bring great laughs to any crowd. We suggest a short fun go around of karaoke for your guests during cocktail hour or let your guests sing to you and your groom instead of a round of speeches.  The brides loved it, we love it, and we’re sure you will too!...

    First off, I need to say “Happy Birthday” to my beautiful mom!  You are the greatest and I love you!  If anyone loves dancing as much as my mom does, then you’ll adore this idea.  This was a proposal done last Valentine’s Day 2009 and with upcoming Valentine’s proposals on the way, there is no better time to share this story! Lindey’s ultimate dream is to own her own dance studio.  Matthew being the wonderful boyfriend he is, takes dance lessons with Lindey to participate in something she loves. We just thought that this was too cute, so we tuned into that thoughtful side of...

    Goodmornin' dolls! This past weekend I headed off on a camping adventure with great friends and had the best of times! While I was off soaking up the sun and having long nights by the fire I was inspired by the friendliness, fun-ness, and rustic-ness of camping. "Camping" is by far one of my fav themes for a wedding or engagement shoot. The romance of a tent, intimacy of a campfire, sweetness of a smore, and beauty of the nature wraps up into a perfectly laid-back day and a most adorable backdrop. Hugs&mallows -KaitViaViaViaViaViaVia...
