Tips For Brides to be...

Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important vendor choices that you will make as you prepare for your wedding day. As with everything else in the world there are so many choices to consider when getting the right photographer, but the bottom line is, the photographer you do choose will be the one that will capture your memories... or maybe not?

Tip #1 - Choose your photographer by his/her photography style. If you have interviewed a few already, or have attended any bridal show events - you will notice that 1-2 photographer's work does not fit the typical cookie cutter visual style of what we think wedding photography should be. All of my clients tell me that the reason that they hire me - is "Style" - photography is painting with light - good photography will look as different and creative as the photographers themselves.

  Rich,

    We could not thank you enough for the beautiful pictures you took on our special day. You captured every essence of what was important to us on our wedding day. The venue and weather on our day was perfect, but it still took great skill to capture and convey the atmosphere and events, which you did perfectly. You made us and our guests feel very relaxed and open to having our pictures taken.  The results were more than we ever could have hoped for.

    When we got back home from New York, we were amazed at how fast you had all the pictures uploaded to your website. It took us hours (because there were plenty of photos) to look through them and we were reliving our wedding.  Our friends and family were also impressed with the work you have done.

    Once again, great job and many thanks!

Tip#2 - Choose with you eyes, not your budget.... the couples that end up with great images from their special day - put their wallets aside when making the decision of whom they will hire to capture all of there special moments.... not to say that the photography coverage will break the bank - just find the photographer that their work speaks to you - then try to come close to your budget for the amount of coverage & product(s) that you need.
