Plenty of advice is given about planning the wedding day, but sometimes planning for photographs is forgotten. I’d like to help couples think about their part in making their wedding photographs the best they can possibly be.
Think about what the background will be in your photos. What do the walls and floor look like? I’ve done receptions at the historic Bonneville House and the armory. Remember to think about what is on the wall behind the cake, where you will be seated, and other strategic places for photos. Is there unsightly wire, posters, or anything that distracts? Consider some kind of backdrop for those problem areas.
Some couples want the 10×10 custom-designed, coffee table album, but don’t want parent albums.
Some want an all inclusive, discounted package which includes bridal and engagements on disk.
Some need extra hours or an extended payment plan.
Let us design a quote to fit your budget. Don’t automatically assume you can’t afford great wedding photos. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. When the day is over, the most cherished things that remain are your photographs.
The local bridal shows are coming up in January and February. Both offer the opportunity to meet wedding vendors. Both have give-aways, and fashion shows. As you’re cruising around these events try to shop with your local vendors, we appreciate your business and we have a local name we have to live up to, so you know you’ll receive the best possible service.
When choosing your photographer consider these things:
1. Do you want great photos, or barely passable?
Your photos will be your memories of major family events and milestones. Sure, you could probably have Uncle John, or your friend, who has a “really nice camera”, take your photos and end up with something. Or you might end up frustrated and sad, like a lady I know. She ended up with NO decent wedding photos. That’s right, they were ALL out of focus or too dark. EEK! I can’t even imagine the disappointment.
It began to rain just as we started pre-ceremony portraits outside. Spirits were as dampened as the beautiful flower arrangement suffered severe wind and rain damage.
Arrangements were made to move inside for the ceremony. Chairs were moved, and change of plans discussed. Just before ceremony was to begin, someone’s prayers were answered, and the clouds held their peace until right after the vows.
Weddings and Events are my specialty. I'm naturally drawn to the photo journalistic style. I love candid photos the most, though I do plenty of posed photos also.

For portrait sessions, you pick the location for your session, and change clothing as much as you like within that time frame.
