Saving the Brick and Mortar's our Nation is built on
3 - What 3 independently owned businesses would you miss if they closed down? Stop in. Say hello. Pick up something that brings a smile to you. Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around.
50 - If 1/2 the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses it would generate $42.6 billion in revenue. Imagine if 3/4 the employed population did that!
68- For every $100 spent in a locally owned independent store, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If you spend $100 in a national chain $43 says in the community. Spend $100 on line and nothing comes back to the community.
1 - The number of people it takes to start the trend - you!
Pick 3. Spend 50. Save your local economy and community!

Dina and Serge August 2009
What started out as a rainy cloudy day ended up to be a gorgeous day to get married, especially for Dina and Serge. A wonderful break in the weather came just as we were about to take pictures. Everyone was all smiles and with a beautiful bridal party, every picture looked beautiful.
The bride and groom were so happy during the hora and Wabeek Country Club has the best chairs to sit on to make sure no one falls off the chairs.
The bride and groom gave out a CD disk with their favorite songs on them. They were the perfect size to slip in the napkins so every guest received one, the rose was an added bonus.
To make their wedding special, and a form of personalizing your own wedding, the groom learned how to play the saxophone three months prior to the wedding. It seems the bride comes from a musical family and the groom did not play an instrument. So he started taking lessons, without her knowing, and being a doctor with a busy schedule, I don't know what excuses he used, but it worked! He received a rousing round of applause from all his family and friends. Great job Serge. This is one of many reasons you should have a Videographer. To capture these once in a lifetime memories!

Importance of hiring a Professional Photographer!
The Importance of Hiring a Professional Photographer!!
I received this link from a local photographer. It's extremely interesting and paints a picture why it's so important to hire a professional photographer to capture the special moments in your life, especially your wedding. There are no "do overs" or "retakes," so it's important to understand the investment you are making in your memories.
