    Q: How do I choose a wedding photographer?

    A: It is such an important decision when it comes to who your photographer will be. You want your wedding day to run smoothly, be beautiful, and really enjoy it like no other. There are a number of elements that make up your wedding. But when the day comes and goes, what you have left are the photographs. These images become your memories. How do you want to remember your day?

    REFERRALS
    There are so many photographers. How do you narrow your selection? Personal referrals is a great way to collect some names of people you may want to consider. Ask friends and relatives for recommendations. You want to find out who had a great experience in working with a photographer, and also loved the results they produced.

    WEBSITES
    Websites are also key in narrowing your selection. This way you get a chance to browse portfolios without even stepping into someone's studio. You get a feel for there work. Its a great way to pre-qualify photographers.

    PERSONALITY
    After you've made a list, call and ask questions. If you are calling a photographer in your area or within driving distance, definitely see if you can meet them in person. Some couples hire photographers out of the area whose work they love, or fly them out to a unique wedding location for a destination wedding. In those cases, when meeting in person may not be possible, be sure to spend time talking with them on the phone. It is important to choose someone you like and feel completely at ease with. You will be spending most of your wedding day with them and the connection you make with the photographers will come through in your images.

    STYLE
    Besides personality, style is essential. You should find a photographer whose work you connect with and love. They should be well versed and adept in their style. You want to not only see a portfolio of their work, which gives a great overview, you also need to see entire weddings. This will show your whether they have consistency in their skill and artistry. We always say that you should love the photographer and their work. Then reserve them as soon as possible.

    Q: Do you photograph “formals” or group shots? Do you want me to provide a list of “must have” photographs?


    A: Unless you request otherwise, we do photograph the usual groups of the wedding party, family and bride & groom. It is an important part of recording your family history at your wedding. But it is just a small portion. We can get the groupings done in a short amount of time when it's well organized. You may wish to designate someone to gather people. We will not go up to pose everyone, just give a little direction when needed. We do not need a long list of "must have" photographs for the wedding day, simply because we are familiar with basic shots to be taken, and you don't want us tied to a list instead of capturing moments. However, we would like you to specify anything special that you want to make sure we capture. And any details, about anything unique to your wedding. We'll be sure to discuss all the details with you prior to the wedding.
