This year's Wedding Season

As I look out my window at the snow coming down it is hard to think about photographing this year's weddings. But if you are planning a wedding this year and have not booked a photographer then now is the time to do it. After the flowers have wilted, the cake has been eaten, the dress has been cleaned and stored away, it is the photographs that will bring back the memories of your special day. You shouldn't trust these priceless memories to just anyone who has the latest and greatest camera on the market, you should trust a professional photographer! Look around at the various photographers in your market area. Each photographer's style is different and the style of the photographer should be a reflection of you. No matter how good the photographer is, if his/her style is traditional and you are looking for more of a photojournalistic style then you will not be happy with the photographs no matter what the price is. Look at samples of his/her work, ask for references and check them, get to know the photographer. As a bride you will probably spend more time with him/her on your wedding day than with anyone else including your husband to be. You should have the photographs that you want, not what the photographer says are standard wedding photographs. Clip out photos from your favorite wedding magazines and present the photographer with a scrapbook of favorite images and see if he/she can replicate some of them.

You deserve the photographs that you want!
