Frequently Asked Wedding Photography Questions

Q. Why would I be a nut to go anywhere else?
Would you trust "forever" to just anyone? Your wedding photographer may only be about 20% of your total budget, but the photos I provide will become 90% of your memories. Your special day deserves to be in the hands of a professional that personally works to immortalize your love.

Q. What is your wedding photography style?
My work can best be described as "artistic wedding photojournalism". I will document your day by capturing your emotions while adding my artistic perspective to each shot. Really, my wedding photography is a combination of what brides and grooms want for different facets of their wedding day:

• Your ceremony preparation photos photojournalistic style
• Your ceremony photos are documentation style
• Your formal group photos are traditional style
• Your reception is a fun combination of all of the above
• Your Engagement or Bridal Portraits are magazine style

Q. What is the best advice you can give us?
Perhaps two pieces of advice I can give are:
First: let it be light! By planning the wedding Ceremony during daylight hours and making sure the Reception lighting is not completely dimmed you will help me s to minimize the use of flashes. Your photographs will look more natural and more attractive plus your guests will suffer less from bright flashes.

The second advice is: limit the guest photography. The atmosphere of your Ceremony affected already by the presence of hired photographers, assistants and videographers. Now imagine guests standing around you entire Ceremony with flashing and beeping consumer cameras, preventing a photographer from taking important images and interfering with your elegant ceremony atmosphere. It not only will distract bridal party from looking at the main camera, but will also extend the session itself, taking away precious time that could be spent celebrating with family and guests.
