		<title>DWF Featured Member: Mike Allebach!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another thing that I hear at the end of the day from family, the couple or bridesmaids is that I'm not like other wedding photographers they've worked with.  They say I add an element of debauchery or excitement to the day (this is before they've seen a single image).  What I really do is I allow people to be themselves and invite everyone in. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(I've) tried to do everything with purpose and thought and I avoided taking short cuts that I'd regret down the road, which has helped tremendously! I never had to dig myself out of the hole of being a photographer that will shoot your family and give you a disc all for $100, because I never let myself be that photographer - even when it was tempting.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I am so grateful to have DWF-I joined five years ago before I had a notion of shooting weddings. My early days were filled with new and great ideas for shooting weddings. All my gear purchases were recommendations from DWF. Many of my marketing ideas, my style of shooting, and my business practices have germinated from reading other member's shared experiences on DWF."]]></description>
