Choose Your Wedding Photos

I recently visited a friend of the family and they asked if I took some pictures of them with their daughter at their daughter's wedding. Being a family friend, it was important to them that I enjoy the wedding as an attendee and not the working photographer. They were disappointed that they didn't have any photos of just them with their daughter. Out of all of the photos, it seems the photographer didn't focus on a couple of key photos that they wanted.

When I meet with a bride, I stress the importance of creating a photo list of important images that they are wanting me to take in addition to the regular key images that I always capture at wedding events. The photos that were taken at the wedding were great quality, but the key images that they wanted, they do not have and that is what the remember... the photos that they didn't get, not all of the great photos that they have.

In this economy with struggling budgets, it is important to budget for not only a photographer that takes great photos, but takes the great photos that you are going to want and cherish for years to come.
