YIKES...Concerned About Your Photography?

I know, things can be sooo uncertain, right now. The price of a wedding can be staggering.

So many brides want their photography to be at the top of their list, while others just consider it an after-thought and do not really care, which is unfortunate. They just want some "...snapshots..." of their wedding.

The price for a great photographer can appear to be frightening to so many brides so they just compromise their dreams and hire a mediocre photographer because of price or they waited too long and a good one has already been booked.

What is not known is that a great photographer can save you money if it is done right and creatively from the beginning. With nothing compromised.

When you get engaged and have a date set, you should immediately shop and hire your photographer. The most disappointing calls I have are when a bride is kinda desperate to find a photographer because all the good ones are booked and she is just going down the list in the phone book and asking for price (NEVER SHOP FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER BY PRICE ALONE).

To tell a bride you are booked is really sad. For me, I know she will probably have to hire a photographer that is not really up to the task. I see their work all the time. Many times a bride will bring me their disk of images so I can "fix" them. Very sad to see straight-out-of-the-camera wedding pictures that she paid a lot of money for. Yuk!

Here, we have our printed prices, and just so you know, we may have an option or two that is not posted on our price list. Those may be an alternative for you if you are not wanting to hire a photographer and spend a lot of money up-front. Some brides have a budget set for their photography, but most do not. Those brides have a real hurdle to overcome with some photographers, because they will probably pay for more than they get.

If you have questions about your wedding photography, you can always go to the homepage and click on the "Choosing Your Photographer" links and read what to look for and what questions to ask. It can be surprising what you will learn, if you know what questions to ask. Unfortunately, most brides have no clue what questions they should be asking. There is such a difference in a good photographer and a bad one. Getting a bad or mediocre one is so easy to do, because owning a camera and a business card pretends to be a legitimate reason to be called a Photographer. It is not.
