In twenty years you won't have that limo ride, or the reception hall, or the flowers, or the cake......but you will have(besides each other) the photos. We discuss the importance of photography all the time and why we think it is important that a bride and groom choose their photographer carefully. Don't go cheap on the photography, but also don't just go for the most expensive either--pay for the photographer you want. You need to feel comfortable and you need to trust the photographer you get will deliver and capture the best moments they can. Dee and I have known each other for several years now and I was honored that she asked me to photograph her wedding. And I think we had fun. We're planning a meeting to go over what we're going to now do with all the photos and I'm excited to figure out a plan for albums etc... I have some ideas already and Dee is super creative so I'm sure she has ideas and I think we'll come up with a very beautiful keepsake when we're all done. This photo was taken at the hair salon before the wedding... I noticed that i was in the mirror of a shot I had just taken and figured I'd have some fun and wave. I've been fascinated with the hipstamatic look from iphones so I wanted to make this image look like that a little so I made it in photoshop. SayerMotter Photograph
Amen to choosing the right photographer for you! That's what we did, many years ago. You've got to be comfortable with the person behind the shutter or the photos will not be what you hope - in my opinion.
