The Dusty 45's

I have worked with The Dusty 45's three times this past summer and I have wanted to give them some cred for bringing the life into the party and for being true entertainers. These guys can light up your reception, literally with Billy Joe's flaming trumpet, an awesome specialty of The Dusty 45's.

Billy Joe is also a great MC for your reception or event, something to consider when you are hiring a band. He really keeps it things moving and is never at a loss for words.

Jerry Battista, Lead guitar/vocals of The Dusty 45's is one of the best guitar players out there. I love it when he played the classical guitar all night to a variety of genres of songs.

Alante Featured in Seattle Bride Mag!

For the second Year in a row Alante Photography has been featured in Seattle Bride Magazine! It is quite an honor to be on the Contents and Departments page of the mag as well as The Year in Pictures section.

Ironically as such the popularity with photojournalism, Alante photography is (at least to my eye) the only photo within "The Year in Pictures" that was actually a true untainted photo journalistic moment. You would think there would be more. Most of them are solid beautiful shots none the least but I can tell the photographer either told the subject(s) to pose or to do whatever they are doing in the particular photo IE jumping, running, kissing.
