I recently joined Mike from Amplified Events for a great discussion about the importance of hiring trusted vendors for your big day.

Thanks Steve Vansak with Region Weddings for joining us!


From starting with live music to now behind the lens of a camera, Steve found that photography let him express himself creatively in a different way. His work as a musician opened doors to working in wedding photography which leads him to running Region Weddings today! Mike and Steve dive into the struggles of a wedding day as a DJ and photographer, and also their love and passion for it. The most important thing for Steve's business is that when you hire Region Weddings you are not getting some random person, but you are getting the man who runs it. It is necessary that for every wedding he shoots, the client is getting the highest quality possible.
