New business is slow lately, seems people are cutting corner where they can. People are being hit with unexpected expenses and generally not as much income. What is a Bride to do? There are some places you can cut your expenses, Do you really need the Limo, or do you need that pasta bar, Your answer maybe be YES! and that is understandable, some couples are cutting back on their honeymoon, which you have to ask is that fair? When all is said and done photographs and memories are the one thing you really end up having left from your wedding.
I just had a bride inform me of some issues that came up that prevented her from having a photographer at her wedding. I'm sure what will happen is that her Uncle or some other family member will be the "PHOTOGRAPHER" which is all well I guess, it beats nothing.
Lets think about this logically, this family member or friend will have to miss a major part of the day because they are behind a camera taking picture. This is a good reason, but still you might be tempted. Next consider the equipment they might have, a point and shoot camera with a tiny flash? Maybe they have an Digital SLR camera, well thats a good start! Do they have an external Flash? A bracket to take it off the camera to avoid red-eye and shadows? Do they have Extra lighting for DARK that dark church, or large groups of family members? How many weddings have they shot as "THE PHOTOGRAPHER" and do they know what shots you want.
Wedding photography is a big responsability, there is no redo's of your big day. We carry with us backup equipment as well as having a BACKUP PHOTOGRAPHER to ensure we don't miss a thing. We have flash equipment to light up the large groups and doing professional portraits on the alter of the church, or outdoors. We also have years of experiance shooting weddings, so we know where to be and when to be there to catch all your events. We can also help you with any questions you might have abut what will look good, or generally help you with any wedding questions you might have, even those not releated to photography. It's your day, we will be glad to help you any way we can.
Besides the actual photography, we provide a web site for you guest to see your pictures and of course order if they desire. We go though your picture one by one and individually adjust them where needed, crop out unappealing items. we add effects like color accents, black and white, borders, etc.
If you think you can't afford good photography you are wrong, we have packages starting at $595.00 that includes 20-8x10 sheets of prints (or 40-5x7's) and going up, depending on how many pictures you need, and what you want. You can also upgrade your package at a later date too..
While we don't extend payments past your wedding date, we can work with you on a payment plan to make it a little easier.
