Posted on by Posted in Blog Posts, Weddings Leave a comment

The bouquet toss is a traditional part of weddings. In the past, the bride would often toss the bouquet outside of the church or after the ceremony.

For whatever reason, if you decide you do not want to toss your bouquet at your wedding, we have a few alternatives for you. Continue reading→

Let me be honest: In my humble beginnings I started DJing with only a wired mic, as I’m sure most DJs do. I didn’t start off DJing weddings, so for a long time a wired mic was all I needed. But after being a wedding DJ for years, I now know the importance in having two different types of wireless mics:

Wedding Reception Introductions Example

Posted on by Posted in DJ, Weddings Leave a comment

Think a wedding DJ is just supposed to play music? Almost nothing could be further from the truth! A wedding DJ plays a much bigger role than merely playing music. An ipod with a playlist can play music but there are lots of other reasons why you should hire a professional wedding DJ. A DJ mixes the music, helps the wedding couple select music beforehand in order to prepare for the wedding to ensure it goes just how they want it, and the DJ also acts as the master of ceremonies (MC). As the MC, the DJ conducts all the events that take place on your wedding day. The DJ/MC will communicate with the crowd so they know what to do, what not to do, and what to expect. When the wedding party is done with their photos after the ceremony and are ready to make their grand entrance in to the reception, the DJ traditionally announces the wedding party as they walk in. This moment is arguably the most important moment for the DJ to perform at his/her best. Continue reading→

How To Get Great Rings Shots During Your Wedding Ceremony

Best Tip For Exchanging Wedding Rings

The exchanging of rings is an essential part of traditional weddings. The wedding ring is symbolizes eternity. It is a circle with no beginning or end, an emblem of love and devotion, and also considered an agreement between families.

Unfortunately, many times the wedding photographer is unable to get a good shot when the bride and groom are putting the rings on each others’ hands. The couple isn’t usually considering how the moment will look on camera, understandably so, because many things are going through their minds at the time. The least of which is the camera angle of the rings.

Often times a person keeps their hands over the others’ after putting their ring on them. If your hands are blocking the shot when put on your fiancé’s ring, there’s nothing the photographer can do to get a good shot of it, short of stopping the ceremony to adjust your hands, of course.
