For those of you not looking for a wedding photographer, but a photographer for family portraits, candids, engagement settings, or just amazing photographs you have to check out Captured by Joelle. Her work is nothing short of amazing and she has a great style about her photos. She does not really do studio shots but on location style shots. Joelle did a session of my family and the pictures that came out of it were great. If you need a photographer do yourself a favor and check out her site.

Being a DJ of course I think Brides & Grooms should spend the most on me, not really, but people are spending a crazy amount of money on cakes these days, which is too bad.  At the end of each event I would guess that almost half of the wedding cake gets tossed, which is a lot of wasted money. So, I thought I should let you know a simple way to say some money and make your wait staff happy at the same time.

Buy a smaller cake, two layers, the one you cut at the event and then the layer you save for your 1st anniversary.  Then go to your neighbor big box store, Sam’s, Costco, etc., and purchase as many sheet cakes as you need.  The wait staff will be able to precut your cake, meaning your guests get cake sooner, and it will cost a fraction of the cost.  I know you might be thinking what about the taste? It is cake, no one is going to complain. So you can save some money to spend on your honeymoon or to use to upgrade some other portion of your event.
