Tysons Tower Club

The Tysons Chamber held the 2018 Summer Soiree last month at the Tysons Tower Club. In the hope that they can highlight the non-profit organizations in the area, this new signature event was created. Prior to the formal event, a networking reception was held in the atrium surrounded by booths of the highlighted non-profits. Once guests started to arrive, the room was a buzz with conversations! At this time Tysons business owners visiting their booths heard more about their missions.

With attention to highlighting businesses in Tysons, the Chamber gave out awards for specific categories. Generally these businesses are influential in the growing the visitbility of the area -Tysons Biergarten, TEDxTysons, Capitol One, 1st Stage, etc. These companies are shaping the future of Tysons! Above all, having them attend helps members and guests to make ‘Connections that Matter’.

Awards – New Jersey State Open

For the most part, I stay on one side of the room to photograph ballroom dancers. There is a “good side” for the room that has awards, banners, or other displays that frame the dancers well at a particular competition. For the New Jersey State Open, they have a huge pink neon sign hanging from behind the stage where the emcee, DJ, scrutineers, and other organizers manage the flow of the competition.

They have a great elevated view of all the dancers and judges as they work throughout the weekend. There is a lot of action up there too – gathering score sheets, computing the lineups of all the couples, and making sure everyone is announced as they placed. It is a lot of work! Sometimes they get a little goofy as the days go on.

I really admire how well they pulled off the competition. There were no long delays in getting scores entered, and awards given out. They are usually photographer breaks, so I don’t mind, but they got everyone back to dancing quickly! We ran very early all weekend – it shows their experience in handling so many entries. Thank you!

WeddingWire Rated – 2013

It was nice to see in my email that I have been noted as a WeddingWire rated business. I have not actively asked my previous wedding couples for reviews on my photography services, so it was really nice to see that some of them did this for me! As far as weddings go, I second shoot or assist primary photographers on weddings more than do these on my own, but I do enjoy covering these events.

Weddings are a lot of work for the photographer! It is a full 10+ hour day of shooting, and lots of editing time afterwards. Comparatively to ballroom dance events, the editing time can be lengthy because of many different lighting situations throughout the day. You can go from inside to outside, church to hotel, restaurant to hotel ballroom. They are really amazing days, but they will take a lot out of you. In fact, I have never come back from a wedding thinking, that wasn’t that much work! Thank you to everyone that sent in a nice review that earned me this badge from an organization that covers all types of event vendors. If you feel so inclined, please leave me a review here!
