TIPS ON TUESDAY..Eight Weddings Expenses
I found an interesting article from www.weddingstand.com. Everyone has a budget and many times it is really difficult what to cut back on.
On average, couples that live in Lehigh Valley spend between $21,242 and $35,403 total for their total wedding.
The weddingstand wrote an interesting article on what items not to skimp on and why. On a personal note I would move number three to the bottom of the list but that is just my opinion. I hope you find this article interesting and informative.

TIPS ON TUESDAY How to Pick the Right DJ for Your Wedding
Continuing my tips on Tuesday. This weeks is related to hiring the right DJ.
As a wedding and event photographer, I have seen quite a few DJ’s and have notice how they make or break a wedding reception. I came across a great article by www.mydeejay.com and they put together 40 tips on what questions to ask your prospective DJ. They also have a FREE ebook available for download call Don’t hire that DJ. There is no signup or email address required to download the book. I hope this information helps you hire that perfect DJ for your wedding or event.

The wedding DJ determines whether your reception is a success or failure
Almost no wedding is complete without have a DJ. A DJ can make or break your reception. Many of the weddings I photograph have a DJ who sits behind the DJ console all night. This past week I had the pleasure of working with Eddie from DJ E-ROD. Eddie was able to keep the action moving. He stepped in as the acting as the event coordinator for Stephanie and David’s wedding this past weekend. If you are looking for a talented DJ contact him at DJ_EROD @YAHOO.COM

Lehigh Valley Storm Football
I was the team photographer for the Lehigh Valley Storm Football Team last year. This year I am an official sponsor and will be working with the Storm organization as the Team Photographer. As a football fan, there is nothing like being on the sidelines and having free roam of the football field. It was a challenging and rewarding experience working the sidelines as the photographer.
The Storm organization works with a few of the local charaties.
Camelot for children

Last year I photographed an event for Camelot for Children and the Storm football team. It was a great experience watching the player and the children play flag football. The kids really enjoyed it.
I am looking forward to an exciting season as the Storm Football teams joins forces with the indoor football team the Steelhawks
