Myth Busting Series: You get what you pay for with a photographer (really!)

As photographers, there’s one phrase we hear over and over again. It goes like this: “I love your work so much, but we decided to go with someone else who was within our budget”. And I get it. I truly do. Everyone has a budget, some people’s are just more than others. I don’t profess to be the cheapest photographer around, so I expect to hear this phrase more often than not. But let me give you a few reasons why professional photographers who’ve been in business for several years cost what ... View Post

Myth Busting Series: Professional Hair and Make-Up Will Make Me Look Fake

"Using a professional Hair and Make-up Artist will make me look fake!" You have the pictures, you chat with the makeup artist, you sit down, and wait with anticipation. Thirty minutes pass and you are so anxious. She passes you the mirror and you look in horror. You don't even recognize yourself! You are orange, your eyes are rimmed in black goo and you are in complete shock! This is everyone’s fear when I meet them, I see it in their eyes. “I don't want to look too made up!” This is the ...

Myth Busting Series: Pinterest – Friend or Foe?

Pinterest - Friend or Foe? How do you make sure your photographer understands your vision for your wedding photos? As a wedding photographer, I can tell you that any professional wedding photographer wants you to feel 100% confident in their ability to capture every important moment of your day. We also know that couples prioritize some moments and traditions higher than others. So what do you do? Make a Pinterest board full of things you’ve seen that you like? Make a long shot list that covers ... View Post

Myth Busting Series: Fake Cakes Are More Cost Effective than Real Cakes

Fake It or Make It? #1 Cake Myth: Fake cakes are more cost effective than real cakes. FALSE What are you asking for when you ask for a real cake? If you ask your baker to make you a ‘fake cake,’ you are asking this person to make something that is really not in their normal wheelhouse! Yes, fake cakes are often used at bridal shows and open houses, but these take much more time to make than a real cake. Cake ‘dummies’ are often made so that they last for years. Whether they stay on display in a ... View Post

Myth Busting Series: DIY Wedding Decor Means You’re on Your Own

DIY Wedding Decor: It Doesn't Have to Lonely  DIY Danger  I was first struck with DIY fever in the summer of 1984. It was the summer before I started seventh grade and I was awkwardly straddling the divide between childhood and teen life. Aside from afternoons helping my parents in our family’s flower shop and trying to find common ground with my younger siblings, there was not a lot to entertain me in the sleepy town of Roseboro where we lived. We had moved into the town proper from the old ... View Post

Myth Busting Series: DJs Are Just Button Pushers

DJs Are Just Button Pushers As a DJ, it’s so frustrating to hear, “What’s your real job?” or “That looks simple” from folks all the time. News flash! It’s not easy being a DJ. There is so much more to it than just pushing a few buttons and twisting a couple of knobs. Let’s dig in to what a good, professional mobile DJ really does. First and foremost, our staff at Bunn DJ Company are not only DJs, but salespeople. We do booking differently here. We never assign a DJ to a wedding a week or two ... View Post
