What can go wrong?

What can go wrong?Here are a few things that can go wrong, causing your wedding to go from the experience you always dreamed about to a nightmare.Just knowing what can go wrong can help you in preventing disasters. We start from the venue, stating it can hold more people than they can handle, or the food is cold. How about the Photographer not showing up on time or not at all?This is yet another reason to hire a pro. I read about this all the time. A pro is never late they have back up everything. Back up cameras, flashes, CF cards, even back up photographers.

Weddings from the other side

I was speaking with a friend of mine from Australia today wishing I could get a destination wedding there.Their country side weddings are so beautiful, and I like the different landscape.Their photography moves away from the conventional style of staged photography. They capture images with a documentary approach in mind, aiming not to alter a moment, but to capture it authentically and aesthetically.So I don’t think they are so different than our style. I like to do them both and with today’s technology I don’t see why you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Hermann Hill Wedding Chapel

I just shot one of the most perfect weddings and reception, at the coolest wedding chapel. I have included a link below…the website says it all. Hermann Hill Chapel is the everything-you-need-to-get-married place. The second I walked into the Chapel I was overwhelmed by how beautiful everything looked. I was met by Amanda the wedding coordinator. She was great to work with, and I could tell that wedding planning is her passion. Amanda was wonderful keeping everyone on task and doing this with professionalism.

Advice on Picking Your Photographer

OK…you have read my blogs before on this and I am a bit passionate about the topic. If a friend or relative offers their services to you to be your photographer, and unless they have wedding photography experience with an expensive camera with back up, you might be very disappointed. Also you won’t be destroying a friendship if the shots do not turn out as you had hoped. By contracting a professional, a person who does wedding photography as a career, you know you’ll get great images of your big day.
