Half of being a professional Photographer/Videographer is knowing the fundamentals and elements of the art. The second half
is being able to make your clients feel comfortable enough to share their emotions with you so that you can capture their unique
beauty. Absolutely Entertaining firmly believes that a wedding photographer shouldn’t just take pictures of the main events at
your wedding, but be there to document each and every detail with the intention of telling the story of your day.

We will arrive at your wedding early enough to prepare and plan out the best possible locations for the photos and video that
will be captured that day. We are very considerate and efficient with the time we spend with you during your photos. The choice
is yours whether or not you want your formals done before or
after your ceremony, however because we also have the experience of being a mobile D.J., we realize how
important it is for you to be at your reception at a reasonable time. We approach your wedding with an
artistic/photojournalistic style that will continue through the end of the night. Our goal as a wedding
photographer/videographer is to contribute to the memories of your special day by capturing as much as we can while staying
very discreet and professional.

With over 14 years of wedding experience, Absolutely Entertaining (AE) will bring the
knowledge that is vital to capture your wedding onto video. We have strategically
designed a system for our clients to be able to give us the information needed to customize our services to their likes and
tastes. The video that AE generates will contain three main chapters of your wedding (when applicable):

Introductions: We will arrive early to the wedding location to capture the details of your
wedding from beginning to end. Our goal is to produce a video that will tell your story
with in depth documentation. There will be clips from the minute details that surround your
wedding day, to the individual introductions of the bridal party. Our focus with the
beginning of your video is to help you remember what it was like during those last few
moments before you were married.

Ceremony: Absolutely Entertaining will shoot two entirely different angles during your
ceremony so that we have two different points of view to help assure perfection in your video.
We have a videographer set up at the end of the aisle to capture each individual person
as they enter, then they are trained to relocate to a different location once the bride has
arrived at the end of the aisle. The other camera is set up in a prime location to
capture each person coming down the aisle. It is our goal to generate the best product we
can without you knowing or seeing us there.

Reception: From the moment your officiate pronounces you man and wife to the last
goodbye, Absolutely Entertaining will be there (up to 12 hours). Your certificate signing, interviews, toasts,
cake cutting, first dances, and exit will all be captured with two cameras making sure to get
the best possible shot and angle during each event. Our signature dance video towards
the end of the DVD will consist of a collaboration of all the dancing captured during the
dance portion of your wedding. Please feel free to contact us if you would like a sample wedding.

With our photographer also performing at the wedding, our videographer will
have a distinct advantage. The photographer has a true understanding of what is
required of the videographer to complete their task, and is there to assist rather
than to compete against them. By having the videographer working hand in hand with
the photographer the videographer has the luxury to prepare for each and every special event
that occurs at your reception. By combining this unity with our online event planning
system we truly have a wedding video service that we are proud of.

A unique background of over 14 years in the wedding industry as a photographer, video producer, and a mobile DJ topped with
years of being a trainer and a study of human nature gives him a rare insight into our services.

Our services cover a vast array of applications from weddings to corporate training; however, each service complements the
other and gives us the advantage of being extremely efficient when they are working together and by working together makes
each one better than they can be alone. This advantage also translates into the cost of each service. When we combined Photo
and Video together we eliminated the business costs associated with running separate companies. We decided that the
savings should be passed on to our clients.

What makes a great wedding?
There was a little pink in the dark dressing room in the form of a perfectly assembled but unusual bouquet of pink roses,
French tulips, orchids, daisies and other decretive accruements sitting on a plastic fold up table. The pink caught my eye and I
mencond “I have never seen daisies and roses together.” “ya me neither” said the young glowing girl next to me. “The roses
are my favorite the French tulips are for my grandma who was born and raised in france, the orchids are for my mother who
passed away last year and the daisies are for my other grandparents.   They are both gone but I remember my grandpa going
out almost every day and picking daises for grandma. This morning instead of rushing to get out the door to get my hair done
or tie up loose ends I went out in the yard and pick these daises for grandpa and I put them in my bouquet for grandma.” We
stood there for a few moments. I was overwhelmed with the thoughtfulness of this young bride. By thinking of others she made
something that was very special to her, something that was more than just beautiful, and something that will be remembered
when she is 50 and looking back at the photos that I was just about to take, securing this moment in time.
A coin flipped around in his sweaty nerves’ right hand. I asked if I could take a photo of it. He moved the coin to his left hand
slowly then extended it wide open. I took several photos. I told him that his bride was very special and how I was very
impressed with her bouquet. He said “Ya, I know she is great”. I then asked about the coin. He said “It was the last thing his
father gave to him the day he passed away”. I told him that “I am sorry to pry”. He said it was ok and I moved onto shooting
other aspects of him getting ready.
The older lady gave the finger pointed at the ceiling moving tourdes the music guy signal. The music guy filled with the nerves
emotion of “this is it” placed his big finger on the play button and pushed down hard. Hard rock and screeching guitar came
whipping out of the sound system and the absolute panic on the face of the music man was astonishing as everyone turned to
look at him. His big fingers hit the stop botton so hard the table bowed with the force. Dead salience filled the air for about a
moment then from the very back of the hall, flying into the room from the hallway outside the big doors, came laughter, big
cocktail tears, rolling around laughter. The 93 ton elephant got up and started to leave the room as understanding washed over
the wedding guests. It was the bride. She was almost in the feadle position. The groom’s body standing in the front of the
room relaxed as he heard the laugther of the love of his life slide down the ial.
The music man checked his track number, made the correction, looked at the disapproving older lady for direction and then hit
that big play button with a bit of hesitation. The sound of strings dancing to the tune of Canon in D and it drifted without effort
into the air. With the guests raising as one the happiest bride with tears of laughter slid into view. The over used word: “grace”
was absolutely defined as she slid down the eil tords her groom.
Thud then an “oh my gosh” and everyone breathed in. The elephant pounced onto the congregation and demanded to be
supported. Then again, laughter and that elephant started to slide back out of the room. The look of shock and instant concern
faded from everyone’s face exspesualy the brides as her groom slowly got back up, chuckling. He simply stopped breathing;
his knees locked just as it has happened to hundreds of stage performers: he passed out. He got to his feet with contages
laugher that spread to his bride then the offiniont then the bridal party then his mother and then the music man and then, well
everyone. I was there to capture the event and lock them into photos but even as an observer I couldn’t resist the over
whelming positive energy and began to laugh as I fired away.
Dinner was done; the golden cololered champagne was poured and almost passed out. The wireless microphone was
handed to the groom’s uncle and a slightly slurred “is this thing on” burped out. Again in less than a half of a moment the
elephant was back however this time it was clearly his slightly lighter cousin, who kind of hung around probably eating some of
the undercooked prime rib.   The Grooms Uncle started by trying to tell a funny story about how the groom hurt himself while
jumping his bicycle as a young 14 year old boy. Then got an athletic cup from a friend and wore it every day for a year. There
seemed to be more ahh that ha ha. Then this older, slightly used, but mostly not old man, stopped talking, he dropped his
head and as someone was going up to check on him his wrinkled, tough, hard worked face emerged with tears. He started to
talk about his brothers last day and concluded with this “…you know you stuck your hand out there to save him, you tried, and
now your right hand is forever messed up, but today this amazing woman next to you will become your right hand you will
become her left and I know that together you two will do great things.” He was whole again. I think that even the elephant had a
little tear.

The things that have always made a great wedding were never the thing that you could go out and buy. In over 14 years as a
DJ. Videographer and/or photographer I have been to weddings that cost so much that you could buy a house with the money
spent. I have been to a wedding where the overall cost was about what the gas money to get to the court house was and the
fee that the state charged. I just asked my wife and she thinks that it was around $55 plus the $18 in gas. I had to borrow the
money. Of course almost all of them feel in between somewhere however the money rarely made the day one to remember.
Usually the thought that went into making the day special was the key. Every Bride has a different budget and a different set of
properties, finding ways to make this day yours through personalizing when planning is the key to a great wedding.
If personalization is the key planning is the lock. If you have the money to hire a wedding planner it might not be a bad idea
however in all my years I have only been to one wedding where the planner was good. Most of the time the planners have less
experience then the wedding vendor and they almost always make request to the vendor that don’t line up with what the bride
has told the vendor.
At one wedding the bride filled out our online timeline and planning form and our DJ was fallowing the instructions when in the
middle of the first dance the wedding coordinator came running over yelling at the DJ to stop playing the music. The bride and
groom were standing on the dance floor. While the coordinator explained to the DJ that he was playing the wrong song, the
bride said no it was the right song. The coordinator looked down at her paperwork and relised she had the paperwork from her
suggestions to the bride not the brides wishes. Remember most of the time the vendor gets blamed for the mistakes of the
wedding planner.
If you do get a wedding planner make sure that there personality is one that they want to work with the vendors to make your day
amazing not be in command of your vendors. So much of what your vendors will do is artistic and if your coordinator is tieing
there hand behind their backs by not giving them the freedom they need to exiqute your wishes you won’t get what you paid for
and deserve.
Planning the event yourself (if you have time) is in most cases the best approach however there are drawbacks. An
experienced planner will have a list of vendors that they know are good. Unless you have had a friend or relative geting marred
you might have no experience in finding good vendors. Who your vendors are is very important to the outcome of your wedding
Another drawback, is not knowing what a far price for the service is. I always tried to keep my prices down. Looking at the cost
to provide the serves and then the amount of mark up I needed to stay in business. This was my approach to pricing our
services however this is not the popular way to determine pricing in the wedding industry. I call what the majority of the industry
uses: “ego pricing”.
Ego pricing is when a vendor has been told “thank you” and “you did a great job” a few times and they start to think that they are
worth more and more money. One year I was invited to speak at the nations larges DJ convention, one of the other speakers
there had made it a point that because he was a leader in the mobile DJ industry he was well worth $5000 and wanted
everyone to start rasing there rates.   In the same market I would have charged around $700. We both had a lot of experience
with weddings. He wrote a book on how to be a good DJ. I produced and wrote a training video for wedding DJ’s: “Wedding D.
J’s Info Toolbox” He just felt like he deserved more and then more money however the more he talked about how people won’t
take you (a DJ) serisly and how if a photographer can charge that much why can’t a DJ the less he talked about the needs of
brides. What about the brides? What about the fact that we are working with people that deserve more for there once in a
lifetime event. Not spend more. So if price won’t tell you how good a vendor is, what will?
Their attitude will tell you everything you need to know. Do they seem like they care about you? Do they sound genuine in their
desire to provide you with the service you are looking for? Do they have processes in place that will help you communicate with
them what your needs and wants are? Do they care about your wedding or about their pocket book? Is there price fare?
There price being fare is very important because if they are way too low the question is are they going to be in business when
your wedding date arrives. It they are to high are they just gouging you also I have seen vendors go out of business because
they couldn’t book any weddings because there price was too inflated.   So when it comes to price find all of the vendors that
are in your budget then talk to them see if there attitude fits with what you want if not, move on.
The other major advice I can give you about vendors is DO NOT PUT OFF BOOKING THEM once you know your date get your
venue, once you have your venue, get your other vendors booked. There were countless times I would meet with a client and
then a few months later turn them away because there date was booked by another bride. Once you know for sure act on it.
“Readiness is all” Shakespeare. Boy was he right on. Being ready is HUGE in fact there is whole wedding books out there
dedicated to getting you ready. This book was going to be about getting you ready, yes I was going to write a planner, but I didn’
t, mostly because my experiences were not with the planning end of a wedding and because there are so many wedding
planning books out there. I thought that if I could get just a few wonderful brides to see the importance of planning then all the
time I spent on this book would be worth it.
The most important component to a great wedding has always been whether or not the bride and groom have prepared the
best they could then LET GO and enjoy the day even if the ceremony music guy ques up the wrong track or the groom passes
out in the middle of the ceremony. Love your day for all the amazing resions that you wanted to have a ceremony and reception.
Love your crazy brother-in-law that showed up in pants that are 5 inches too short on the right leg and 3 on the left with two
different striped brown and pink socks that have wholes visible at the ankle. Shakespeare felt that the ultimate happiness was
a wedding and as an actor in that ultimate happiness become delerisly consumed with it.
So what makes a great wedding:
Personalization
Planning
Having a great attitude

location anywhere in the world. In over 14 years of working with weddings we have created a high level of service with an
affordable price.

How to save some money with your wedding
The smell of some kind of spicy yet sweet barbeque sauce reminded me of walking into an organic spice and herb shop and
that first whife of freshness that washes over you as you slide through the indoor. I grabbed my plate and worked my way down
the table. There nexted to each dish was a small little card that had a name on it. A lot of the last names were the same so I
assumed they were all family that generated this barrage of sweet and amazing collection of vegetables and fruit and beef and
pork and things that I was not sure what they were but looked wonderful.
An stought, smiley, senser,strong looking man leaned over and said “This one is mine” with a ton of pride in his deep voice. I
said “It looks great”. He said “Don’t forget to vote”. I said “vote?” He pointed to the end of the table at some small sheets of
paper. I went over and grabbed my ballot and looked at the contenders they appeared to be all the people that had contributed
creatively to the overall feast.
The DJ picked up the mick, razed the fader and opened his mouth with the sound that everyone wanted to here. “We have
tallied the results” He made some sad joke about hanging a chad and then called out the winners of the categories. Each
winner came up and got some kind of basket from the bride and groom with different assorted goods. The people around me
as I fired away photos of the winners were ecstatic even pationet about who clocked in the most votes.
The cost of some of the best food I have ever had at a wedding was $120 in prises and balite copies.
White plastic chairs filled the back yard of this amazing old Victorian style home. There was a table for the DJ and one for the
cator to work and a place for the food. The ground was covered in a blanket of the greenest grass and the most yellow of
daises. I had already learned the segnifigenc of the flower (when you are young) or weed (when you are old) and I knew right
where I was and who owned this house. It was comfriting and right.
In the corner of the yard was a huge cedar tree and a steel plate fixed to it. The tree had embraced and kind of hugged this
plake with its bark. “Yep” I thought “this fits”. “Below this tree on June 5th 1965 Joe asked Sue for her hand in Marriage” was
etched into the rusty medal. I could almost see the nervise, bell bottom whering, long haired fella on his knee and the young
sweet flower girl shaking a little knowing what is about to come. I could even almost read her Dads thoughts as he stood in the
house looking out the window “great well we will see where this is going” he might have even mumbled “crazy hippies” In the
end I am sure he embraced his new son-in-law.
The things that you can do to save money at your wedding are very simple the deal is you just have to be creative and flexible.
So here I go giving you the inside information on how to save some money with your vendors.
If you really want to save some cash on booking your amazing vendors pick your wedding date to land on a week day or the off
session. In most markets in the US the weekend is the date everyone wants and booking on a week day in the off session is
bragging rights for the vendor.   Vendors that specialize in weddings will drop their rate considerably because they know that
they can ether work that Thursday day with you or sit at the office making nothing. Remember that there are exceptions to every
rule and this one is days that are memorable like 9/9/09. Almost half of the 1000 brides that attended one of the bridal shows
we were in had their date as 7-7-07. I know it was a Saturday that year but remember that people are attracted to those dates
and venders know it.
Another big time money saving secret is even though a vendors prices may be posted or seem firm. They are (in most cases)
negotiable. There is always a price that a vendor can’t drop below or they will lose money but you may be able to get closer to
their cost if you just ask. I have accepted a lot of “best offer” situations for my services. It always helped if the bride or groom
could tell me why they need the price to be so stinking low however I do what I do because I love it but some vendors are doing
it because they want the inflated profit.
If your vendor is coming in from out of town and you have a great rate at a hotel because your wedding is there offer to pay for
their room for a discount. If they are paying $100 for a room and you have a $60 rate ask for a $100 off. One wedding I did the
entire flight and car rental was paid by the client with reward miles saving them a lot of cash.   Remember that you’re working
with small companies not Wally World so there is usually ways to reduce costs.
When you ask for a discount keep in the back of your mind that this is an ego drive pricing world and a little flattery can go a long
way. “We really love your work, you are exactly what we have always envisioned for our big day but we can only come up with
$1200 please tell me that you can help us out on Tuesday February 8th”. I know this works because it worked on me.
Finding fun ways to have your family and friends bring the food or having the reception at a park or a back yard can bring a little
bit more personalization to your special day it can add to the event even though you aren’t spending a ton of money.   Looking at
dates to save on your services is also a big way to reduce your costs.

Where are all the great vendors?
Black hair, blue sweat shirt, completely full plastic bag, flew at me. I half moved then half tried to catch this mass as it changed
from flying at me and more flying at the earth. As I reached out to save this damsel in distress my thought was don’t save her by
touching parts that you shouldn’t ever touch. I went for her arm but it wasn’t enough to stop her from falling however it did slow
her down.

Her groom came pushing through the crowd to see if she was ok. “Ya I am fine” she said. I wanted to tell him that I didn’t touch
anything. I just went for the arm, just the arm. The cake baker next to my booth had pushed a teen away from one of his creamy
creations. The teen landed square into the back of this young, sweet, smily, imbaresed maiden throughing her into my world.
Her groom requested an explinatian from the baker and got none. I just said “Are you looking for photo, video or Mobile DJ?”
Not knowing what the proper jester was after you half saved someone because you didn’t want to wrongfully touch them.
She said “no” I said “Is there any questions that I can answer for you about weddings?” She said “no but why did you move?
You could have just grabbed me and I would have never fallen? I had no idea what to say. “Hu I was… well I didn’t… you
have… Well I was trying to… You are ok though right” Her and her groom to be stud there with this look of shock, amazement,
and this guy is an idiot all over there impressionable faces. Then they just walked away. I love Bridal Shows!
Veeeerrrmmmm, veeeeerrrrrmmmmmmmm, flip “Absolutely Entertaining” I splurged out. “Can I ask you a few questions?”
“Sure” “Is your DJ going to hit on my brides maids?” “no” “Are you going to take photos of my family when they get really drunk
and stupid” the voice said “Not if you don’t want me too” “Are you gay?” a brief moment of silence “I am not, Why?” I said with a
great deal of curiosity. “Well I read in this book that gay photographers tend to be better photographers.” I have never found that
book although I know a quiple of gay photographer and they are very good. I love the Yellow pages.
“You have mail” squealed out of my laptop speakers. “Jim and I have finally reached a decision on booking you. I know that 4
months is a long time to be answering our questions but this is a big choice for us. We would like to book your photo, video
and mobile dj servces with the Kareoke, slide show, engagement photos upgrade. Please call me as soon as you can.” read
the email. I called her and started with the usual booking information: name, address, times, what services and there features,
ext. She then said that she really wanted to get sunrise photos over the Oshon. “Where would we be able to do that?” I said
“Well any beach will do but we have a few in mind.” “I am pretty resourceful and creative when it comes to making something
happen that might be a challenge but I don’t know of any place that we could take sunrise photos with the Osuin in the
background” I said “What do you mean you have photos in your web gallery of the sunrise over the osion and brides in front of
it.” She said with a little bit of frustration. “What state is your wedding going to be in?” “Florida of course” She said with
authority. “We are in Oregon” A long moment of uncomfortable silence as I waited for a reply. “Well this website that has your
link on it says you are in Florida?” “It is mistaken we have asked to be removed but they haven’t done it yet, we will fly in to shoot
your wedding but the DJ gear is too heavy to fly in for your wedding” “ok never mind thank you” I love the internet.
There are four or five big places to look for the perfect vendor for your wedding: Bridal Shows, Phone Book, the Internet and
other vendors.
Bridal Shows
wedding photography, wedding photographer, top 10 wedding photographer, wedding video, Oregon wedding photography,
Portland wedding, san diego wedding photography,hawaii wedding photography,Arizona wedding photography,elite
photographers,best photographer
Keep your eyes and ears open for advertisements to the next big show in your area. You will pay a small fee to get in to the
show but most shows give away a lot of stuff to the registered brides and it is well worth it. To get the most out of any show be
sure to take a friend or a mom or your groom to be. Go there knowing esacly what services you will need and know esactly
whithch services you are thinking about getting. As an example you know you what to hire a photographer but you are thinking
about a Videographer. By going in knowing what you want you can focus on talking to the vendors that you need and see if any
of the vendors you are considering jump out at you.
The biggest shows are usually in January and there will be the most vendors at these shows however the deeper discounts
may be found at the shows that are in the fall or spring. The January shows are larger but there are more brides that attend so
the vendors tend to keep their prices higher. When a vendor is in one the smaller spring or fall shows they get more
competitive because there is not as many brides to go around.
You’re at the show, now what. Well the best thing you can do is hit up all the vendors that offer the serves that you know you
need. Don’t spend a lot of time with them at the show; if you seem to like them see if you can set up an appointment for a time
that you can get to know them.
All of my vendor friends are going to hate me for this next comment but I feel strongly about this:
Don’t book any of your vendors at the show. You need to feel comfortable about whom you are going to have at your wedding
and that requires you to see what is available and then decide on what is best for you.   The vendors really want you to book at
the show so that you are locked in and if you change your mind you will lose your deposit. They will offer you special, show only
discounts and gifts if you book there. There have been many brides that have came to our booth and said I wish I would have
seen you sooner today. It isn’t that the vendors are being sneaky it is more of them thinking more about their bottom line and
bragging rights “ I booked 10 weddings today” then your needs and wants. You can also see how much they care by asking
them for a meeting to see if they are a good fit for you next week and then ask them if they do fit can you get the “special” deal at
the meeting.   Some might say “Ya I think we can do that” others might tell you “no”. If they say no do you want them at your
wedding?
The fact that you get to see them there at the show and see how they present them self will help you understand how
professional they are. Remember a great display doesn’t mean they are a great vendor. I have seen amazing displays that
cost an arm and a leg and a guy just sitting in a chare looking like he would really rather be golfing then talking to brides. I have
seen brides stop and engage in conversations with these vendors thinking that they might have found the perfect fit just to get a
flyer and basically the same information found on the flyer, then book them because there display was nice. This has always
amazed me and I have always asked who desizind your display and %90 of the time it was some other than the vendor or a
wife. So the display may not actually be a representation of their work however it should be something to consider.
When you walk up to a vendor at the show ask yourself does there display look professional? Does look cluttered or clean? Are
you attracted to it? Does it look like you will be paying a lot more for their service because you need to help them pay for their
display? The display should be a part of your decision to consider the vendor but remember that display usually won’t be at
your wedding.
What is the most important thing to look for then? The vendor’s attitude!!! Let my type this again: The attitude of the vender is the
most important thing you should consider when looking for you vendors. Do they seem like they really care about you and your
wedding? Are they someone that you can feel comfortable with? Are they actually going to be at your wedding or will an
employee or sub-contractor be the one filling the job? Do you feel like they look at your wedding as just work or do they really
love what they do and will enjoy working with you? Will you enjoy their work? Is there price something that fits your budget and
do think it is fair? This is a once in a life time moment and if you are reading this you care about the outcome of your wedding
so take some time and go to a bridal show, talk to vendors and enjoy shopping them.
Yellow Pages
wedding photography, wedding photographer, top 10 wedding photographer, wedding video, Oregon wedding photography,
Portland wedding, san diego wedding photography,hawaii wedding photography,Arizona wedding photography,elite
photographers,best photographer
If you don’t have time to go to a show the yellow pages are a good start to find local vendors.   When you are searching through
the listing remember that is some markets the companies that have big adds might be the newest companies in your area.
What happens is a new company will contact the yellow pages to find out how to get listed and the sales professional will more
than likely give them discounts to get a big add. They will tell them how the big add will bring in considerably more calls than a
listing will and they will bit. After they pay the in most cases the thousands of dollars for the year and find that the advertising
was more promise than payment they drop down into the listing and book a bridal show. I have personal experience with this
exact situation.
Call as many vendors as you can that are listed both from the listings and the advertisements. When you call have a set of
questions ready for them. At the end of this chapter I included some for you to add to your own list. Don’t just lesson to the
answers but pay close attention to the way they answer.
When answering do they sound confident? Do they completely answer your questions or are they avoiding a complete
answer? Do they have good communication skills? Remember that if they can’t communicate over the phone how are they
going to communicate with you and your guests at your wedding. Do you feel like you can talk to them and does there
personality fit yours? This is your phone interview so be prepared.
Internet
The internet is another great way to find vendors and there are a million different websites out there that have local listings for
wedding vendors. Some are better than others but keep in mind that because there are so many not all of your local vendors
can afford to advertise in all of the wedding web listing sites. If you go to one and you don’t find what you are looking for, go to
another.   You can easily find wedding vendors listing on the net through one of the big surch engines.
You can also just type the vendor you are looking for and you city and state into the serch field and it will give you a list. You
could try sites like craigslist.com to see if there are vendors in your area listing on there. Wherever you go be careful of scams
be sure that you go to the vendor’s web site and really dig around.
Once you have found the site be sure to read all that you can about them (including where they are located) and then call them
and give them that phone interview we talked about in the Yellow page section of this chapter. You can also Google there name
to see if any angry Brides have posted online anywhere about them plus you can sometimes find out if they are working on
other projects that have granted them internet recognition.
Bridal Coordinators and your other vendors
Bridal Coordinators will have a list of vendor that they think are good. When working with a coordinator keep in mind that they
may be receiving a kick back from the vendor that they recommend and that is why they recommend them and they may be only
listing the vendors that will do what they tell them to do even if the bride has told the vendor not to do it. I have seen the latter
happen more times than ever thought possible.
A good way to tell if you find a coordinator that will favor a vendor that disobeys your wishes is when you are talking to them do
they seem like a know-it-all and they-know-best. If they do it might be a sign that they will over ride you, the day of.
Other vendors that you have already chosen may be a great source for recommendations for vendors in your area that do a
good job. I have never seen a situation where one vendor (like a photographer) would get a kick back from another (like a DJ)
so your recommendations are a little less biased. The good thing to remember is if a photographer is really bad usually the
bride or groom or a family member will be talking about it with the other vendors. These are the people that end up at a lot of
weddings so they see and hear a lot. Definitely get all the information you can milk out them.
Keep in mind: The same place that there are great venders there are really bad ones too. Be sure you are very comfortable with
who you choose and shop well. Here are few general questions that you can ask:
How long have you been working with weddings? (Don’t ask how long they have been in business)
Tell me about your last wedding?
How does your pricing really work? Will I be charged for anything after the wedding?
Do you provide a written agreement that lists the services I will be getting and the esaxt price I will pay?
What do love about providing your serves to brides like me?
What about what you do, do you that you think you do very well? (If they answer anything that isn’t wedding related thank them
and hang up)
Are you going to be at my wedding?
Remember the idea is to see if you can get a feel for who they really are.   Another point is, when you are asking them questions
see if they are a little nervice when awncering.

How do I find a great Photographer?
The greatest photographer in the US
Unbelievable, breathtaking, venue in the heart of Lake Oswego (a small very affluent community on the out skirts of Portland
OR.) and there I was loading in my DJ gear praying that I didn’t dent the floor or track in some dirt. Even the catering staff
walked and talked like they could buy and sell this amazing place tomorrow if they so desired. The atmosphere was thick with
the pre-conversations of commodity trading and copious portfolios. I felt small just walking through it all.
The first dances were a spot on. The cake cutting was sweet, loveable and charming. The dance music the bride had selected
was perfection and everyone was proper.
“Hay, no no no no, what do think you are doing.” “I have to make an anounment” barked the photographer “per the BRIDE so
turn this thing on” he added “no” I said “fine” as I barely caught my $300 wireless microphone. The Photographer razed his
arms that were housed in a faded black T-shirt. You couldn’t miss the only guy in the room whereing the blue Kirkland jeans
with a pink fanny pack holding them up. I was in a long sleeved shirt and tie but it felt like I was whereing a pickup truck, oil
staned, half sweaty wife beater with a nice pair of undersized boxing shorts compared to the amount of tailored tailed Armani
tuxes that danced around the room.
“ I need your attention” the photographer yelled “turn that crappie music down” he demanded “Would you all just be quit and let
me talk! Ok I need the entire bride’s family over here” he yelped out with a nasally voice. The room was dead silent “lison I said
over here. I don’t have a lot of time to waist on you, move it” no one moved “Please, OK” again just astonishing stares from the
formal guests. Then a soft, airy, sweet, content but boldly beautiful voice filled the emptiness of the hall “Let’s all gather around
for this last photo” “thank you” our photographer said in disgust.
“Jim, where is Jim, great, does anyone know where Jim is?” Busted out of the photographer like it was contended in a
pressure cooker for far too long; his face was bright red. I was going for my phone thinking that I might have to call 911. “Let’s
just take the photo without him” said the groom. “FINE” click “ok thank you your all free to go” as the photographer walked over
by me and grabbed his bag. I asked “Do you have another wedding to get to?” “No” he said with a puzzled look “and thank you
for all your help”. I just smiled back at him.
Sliding through the croud of imported silk outfits I found my bride and asked what she would like to do. She said just play some
back ground music. I went back to the mixer and laptop and pulled up her background music and hit play. As I sat there
looking through the music I was going to play the next night I was interrupted with: “We wanted to thank you with this” the
grooms hand holding an envelope was very close to my face. I grabbed it and said “thank you” he smiled and started to walk
away. I stopped him with “I wanted to say sorry about the photographer and his incredible attitude. I hope the whole day wasn’t
a bust and you guys can find a lot of happiness out of today” he looked a little confused and said “the photographer, well he is
the very best in the US, I guess they can’t all be perfect” “I guess not” I mumbled and I don’t think my mouth shut for five
minutes.
I am so great I don’t need to buy cards

“Are you ready with the ceremony music?”
“Yes I am Mrs. Davis”
“Ok I am going to bring out the wedding party”
The clear drop of sweet rolled off my nose falling to the earth. Hot, it was incredibly hot as I sat outside on the amazingly
greenish blue grass waiting for the ceremony to begin.
The pink and black formal wair walked around the corner right in front of me. Our photographer came running over like the
minister just caught on fire and he needed a fire extinguisher. “STOP talking” bellowed into the air “You will all need to settle
down now. I need you to walk tourds the ial and when I do this with my hand you will stop walking, stop moving and smile.” He
then just turned and walked over to the ceremony site, right in front of the guests that were seated in there nice white chares
“Ok we are about to get started here but first I need you to know the hand movements and what I want you to do when you see
them. When I do this I need you to look happy, when I do this I need you to be amazed and when I do this I want you to show
me excitement. This is happy, this is amazed and this is excitement if you can’t do it the first time we may need to start over.”
He directed the 200 people that were baking in the sun. “OK START THE MUSIC” he yelled from the ile. I looked and Mrs. Davis
and she nauded her head, approving. I hit play.
The ceremony was nice besides the distraction of our photographer running around the bridal party, giving his hand directions
to the crowd and once asking them to “look more amazed” interrupting the minister. “Ladies and Gentlemen Mr. and Mrs.
Walker” Our Bride walked down the ial and when the photographer told her to stop she kept on walking right past him. I was
surprised she didn’t… well she didn’t.   As she walked past me, not even looking at me she garbled through her teeth “let’s
start the reception”. I started playing her background music.
“Well we are going to move the time line up a bit because the photographer has to leave.” Said Mrs. Davis “ok so do you want to
do the first dances” “no” she said “let’s just skip those today, let’s just skip everything up to the bocay and garter toss and do
that now” “I will need to get the music ready, give me a moment” I kindly asked knowing the gravity of her disison.
“I need all the unmarred ladies to gather right here… that’s it… wonderful” I said over the microphone. I went over to the bride
and asked “do you want everyone to count for you or do you just want to through it in your own time?” “Let’s get everyone
counting” she said with a bit of excitement “Ok let give her a hand everyone let count down from three ready: one, two” “WAIT,
WAIT, STOP WAIT” I looked over to see the photographer almost dive for the bride to stop her from throughing her bockay.
grabbing her by the arm he pulled her aside about 10 feet. He stared at her like she had just taken his prize 1979 Chevy
Corvette out for a spin without asking. The whole time barking at her for about 10 minutes as I stude there in the middle of the
crowd looking at everyone get restless.   Then OUT of nowhere with no warning the bouckay landed right on the ground in front
of all the young ladies. Nobody saw it coming. I asked the bride “Would like to do a real throw now” before she could answer
“No I got it, no thanks to you” came out of the photographer. The bride just shook her head no.
The photographer walked pasted me to address the crowd “thank you every one you were great remember you can buy the
photos online, have a great day” then he turned and started walking towards me. I stopped him “Do you have a business
card?” I asked “No I am so popular that I need them” “I just wanted one to put into our book of vendors that we won’t work with
ever again. There aren’t a lot of them in the book but you would fit in nicely with the rest.”
“Ok I think we are done.” said Mrs Davis as I walked back to the audio equipment. “I am really sorry about the photographer he
kind of turned your daughter’s day into his own private little photo session.” I said with the most sincerity I could muster “Well
that is what the grooms Mom wanted, I guess if you want the best photos that is what you have to do” She said while shrugging
her shoulders “You know, I don’t think that is the only way to get the best photos.” I didn’t tell that I was a wedding photographer
dressed up like a DJ.
The bottom line
Here it is my bread and butter. Although I have loved being a mobile DJ and a Videographer the Photography has always been
a close first for me. I believe that the only reason that I am almost good at being a photographer is because I was a mobile DJ
first. It wasn’t the college professors or the $120 photo books or the years of experience (ok this stuff helped a lot) it was
watching other good and bad photographers do what they do. It was watching their body language and how they relate to their
clients and there gests. It was watching the good ones reinforce the beauty of their subjects by being kind and knowing what to
say and what not to say. It was watching the bad ones be very self centered and egotistical with everything they did.
When you look for your perfect photographer remember that photography is an art that is suggestive to every individual. There
are two factors that come into play when you are searching: first what kind of attitude does the photographer have? Does that fit
with what you are looking for? Does that make you feel comfortable? How does their attitude give you clues about how they will
act at your wedding? The other key decision point is does there sample photos POP with you? Are you like wow these are
great? Do you feel like this is the style of photography that you want your wedding to be documented with?
I sat down with a 40 to 45 year old professional looking woman that was interested in me shooting her wedding. As she looked
through my photos she kept saying “that is so amituresk” I said “what is” she said “this photo is so aminture” “What about it
makes you think that is an armature photo” I asked “I don’t know I am not a photographer” I then explained how I didn’t think we
need to sit and talk anymore. That I was not a good fit for her wedding.
She then asked what she should do about having a hard time finding a photographer.   I explained how photography is
suggestive and that even if you don’t like a photo; if a particular photo doesn’t work for you the question should be does the
overall style fit your likes and tastes.   I think she understood. She called me back about a month later to book but I was already
booked for her date.
Not every photo that a photographer takes at a wedding is amazing in fact the more that a photographer tries to perfect the shot
at a wedding the more distracting they become. Experience plus a willingness to be very aware and attentive to what is going
on will give a photographer an opportunity to be in the right place at the right time.   I would also add that good communication
between you and the photographer is very important and helps them know where to be and when.
Communication is very important with all your vendors. Being comefretable with them is amazingly important so when you are
interviewing them see if you click. Do they have a desire to be open an honest with you? Try talking to them about subjects that
don’t nessisarealy relate to your wedding. As an example: What else do they do? Do they have a hobby?
When you ask these questions you might see a little surprise in your interviewee but it is important that you get a feel for who
they are.
Professionalism in the wedding photography business is a very grey line. You would expect the normal don’t use profanity, be
curdies, dress nice approach and that is a given. If your potential photographer can’t do at least this there offer better be unreal
for you to consider them. The gray line is in barred in there concept of how to approach you and your family and your wedding.
The two examples I wrote about in the first part of this chapter: The greatest photographer in the US and the: I don’t need cards
photographers were considered by their clients to be professional however I would strongly disagree. Their attitude and
approach was not productive in creating the micro culture needed to make their client’s day exactly what they had dreamed it
would be. The part that I thought was amazing is that in both cases they thought that they had to sacrifice their dreams to get
the best or what they thought was the best.
You don’t have to. There are great photographers out there that have the attitude and the experience necessary to help make
your dreams a reality. It just requires you to search for the look and style you want then talk with the person that will be shooting
your wedding. There is no perfect photographer only the perfect photographer for you.
Keep in mind that ANYONE can shoot your wedding. Anyone with a point and shoot can snap photos at your wedding and
some of them will come out great. The difference is the equipment used and the knowledge that a seasoned professional
brings with them however both elements are completely worthless if your professional photographer has a poor attitude and
can’t connect with your family and your guest.

How to find a great DJ
“Whooooooo is this thing on” as his head bobs back and forth like a bobble head “ok now that that the ceremony thing is over
finally we get to get down with me slam-paints-mega-mixer I will be your rock in DJ tonight” he said with a voice two octaves
lower than his normal speaking voice. I stood there wanting to go help him understand that he didn’t need change who he was
just to be entertaining. His slightly dirty tux said a lot about how to hide in front of others.
She has clearly had enough as I watch my bride jump up and storm over to the DJ. I tried to keep up knowing that I could
definitely talk to both sides to try to save this reception however I got to the DJ a few seconds behind her. “and the music I told
you to play was on the sheet of paper I sent back to you!” “Well I forgot it. So what” he said trying to blow her off “Why did you tell
me that I could pick out the music then?”   “Hay what’s up sweetness” he said to one of her bridesmaids almost cutting her off.
“Chill out its ok, I have been doing this for over a year and I know people want to hear” I have a: only sometimes break this rule,
rule of never touching my clients that I just brook as I reached out and ever so gently touched her arm. She turned to me “Let’s
go back to the table and talk, OK” she turned and walked back to the table with me toe.
“you know, I might be able to get through to him if I have a chance to talk to him, would that be ok with you” “yes please” she
said through her teeth and I walked over to slam-pain. “Today I need you to do something for me.”
