As described in the podcast, a well thought out DJ would not put a blue spotlight on the bride and her father as they share their first dance. Please watch the episode to hear my criteria for selecting a DJ.


I am really impressed with Eric’s site because not only is there a ton of information, but you can plan everything online (search for songs, set the schedule, etc). He has a really slick database to capture your information.

Jeremy’s website is just really cool… probably because he’s a cool guy.

Randy, you’re a great DJ, but you really need to do something about that website! LOL

Of course I started with make-up artists because I LOVE make-up. I plan to discuss more vendors in the upcoming weeks.

Sorry about the slowly wandering camera at the end, it’s hard to podcast in a mirror. If you listen carefully, you’ll hear me use inappropriate language at the very end when I noticed that I was not focusing the camera well. I certainly could have edited that out, but I thought it was funny.


I highly recommend both Jennifer Palermo and Lisa Johnson because they not only do a great job, but they are also very passionate about their work. Click on the image to link directly to their websites.

I am very happy to report that I passed the Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Exam for Photoshop CS2. I took the exam earlier today and even though I am very confident in my knowledge, I was still really nervous. For today, I would appreciate it if you would please refer to me as Ms. Photoshop. LOL Watch the podcast to learn more.

For the record, the exam is fairly rigorous… you know, like the bar exam, medical boards, etc. Ok, I’m exaggerating, but it was somewhat tricky and I’m very proud to put ACE after my name.

Heather Lahtinen, ACE

It was an awesome time, but it was REALLY, REALLY cold!!

I love, LOVE birdcage veils. I’m actually thinking about buying one just to have… maybe I’ll keep it in my car and one of my brides will wear it. :)

I absolutely cannot wait until my next wedding, I have a million ideas!!

On the second day we divided into teams and were given challenge, along with a real bride to photograph. Tiffany was fabulous… not only gorgeous, but willing to do anything that we asked! We were told that we were allowed to trash her dress, and even though we had her laying on the ground and sitting on a tractor trailer tire, she didn’t get very dirty at all. Let that be a lesson to future brides… she was literally laying in the dirt and her dress was fine!

Below is some of the video that I recorded from the first two days, I’ll be posting more video within the next week.
