Each event is totally different for me.
I have my favorite shots that I always love to get and I find a new one with each event.
But really I try to be in tune with the couple I am spending the day with and environment I am in.
As I recieve emails from bridal customers and talk about pricing and such, I hear a lot of different situations and thoughts on photography and it's importance at each wedding.
I obviously think it is really a no brainer. Get the best you can afford!
It is the only thing left besides your relationship and a couple champaign glasses when all the dust settles.
It is one of those days where you are with so many people in your life that are important to you.
It is the oppurtunity to get that photo of you and your dad, that you cherish when that day comes and he is no longer there to slow dance with.
These are photos of you and more mom, nervously awaiting the pomp and circumstance, almost as close and gitty as you were in your bedroom before the 8th grade dance.
One of those occasions where people you wouldn't expect get emotional about your happiness.
and of course the day that you and your soul mate are allowed to be totally head over heals for eachother for everyone to see.
How could you not want all of those things captured!??
So I realize, you do want those things captured, but you sometimes you just can't afford to have it done properly.
Hmmm..properly.
Well, frankly, I worry for you.
I have heard, "Awe, well we decided to let my cousin with a nice camera take the photos".
Or my friends who is a "photographer"
A word of caution.
And beleive me I know.
Take your wedding photography seriously,of course take a chance on a new photographer, everyone has to start somewhere.
Take a look at there work and make sure they have arrived at wedding photography after having mastered everything.
But don't take a chance on a friend with a nice camera.
What can you do?
Get a practice shoot?
Ask them if they have photographed indoors, in the evening.
Ask them what kind of equipment they have, do they have a spare if thiers stops working?
Do they have editing software?
And ....................
rant over.
PS, call or email that photographer you really do want to hire. Things are getting wild up in here folks, and dates are flying out the window. I WANT to be at your event,
especially if you have been following my work and really want to work with me. I love that! So don't wait any more!
Onto the photos!
I shared just 2 photos from this wedding ages ago.
Here are some more details.
