• Yes and no. The pictures are what may be what initially draws your attention to certain photographers there’s much more to be considered. Your photographer will be the single person you’ll spend the most time with on your wedding day, so it’s very important you enjoy their personality and you’re comfortable around them. Wedding days can get stressful (for everyone but the bride of course). How the photographer responds to the unexpected can play an important role in the success of your wedding pictures. What if it rains, the timeline gets cut in half, the power goes out or a tux gets left behind- added pressures are something a professional must be prepared to preform under.

• You might also consider if they are easy to communicate with. Do they quickly respond to emails and phone calls? How do they back up their files? When will you get to see your pictures (You’ll be anxious I promise!) Does their style match your vision? These are just a few additional questions and details to consider when hiring the wedding photographer for your day.

• Full time professional photographers typically are more expensive as this is their full-time job, they stay educated and invest in refining their skills and the quality of work they produce. You’re paying them for much more than “Just the wedding day”. There’s countless hours of emails, editing, design, session planning, and time line creation involved in addition to keeping my cameras and lenses in full working order, making sure I carry back ups in the case something were to fail, investing in pro-grade gear, insurance and after all the expenses of running a business photographers need to eat and have nice clothes to wear to your wedding.

• Think of it like this: You go to Wal-Mart and Ross to save money on living essentials and clothing. You shop at Target and Nordstrom’s when you’re either looking for better quality product or a better shopping experience. Photography works the same way.

• Absolutely! I love traveling and specialize in destination/out of town weddings. I absolutely LOVE getting to shoot in new locations, new states and new countries! I look forward to documenting your wedding story- in a beautiful field in the Georgia mountains or beneath a castle in Ireland.

• I do everything digitally using my Nikon D700 cameras. I’ve recently picked up shooting in film and in the future you may see this additional format in the wedding collections.

• Typically anywhere from 1-2 hours before sunset is great! An hour in the Summer or 2 hours in the Winter. Typically it’s best to avoid doing pictures in the direct sun from 10a-3p.

• I’ll let you in on a little secret…. At your reception, if time allows. while the guests are eating I’ll work to put together a sneak peek for you to enjoy while taking a break from the dance floor. You can expect to see teasers on Facebook and my blog the week after your wedding with a full feature once your return from your honeymoon. A complimentary album design and slideshow of the highlights of your wedding are ready to view within 2-4 weeks of your wedding date. Putting a special touch on the rest of your pictures takes a little bit longer, so you can expect to see them within 6 weeks of your wedding night.
