When you contact me, I’ll assume you reviewed my portfolio and liked my style. 

Next step is to connect with me and see me as your good friend at your wedding so that your smiles will be genuine.  Joyful people always look wonderful in the photos. I believe the best photographs are taken to reflect who you really are, when the photographer and the client personalities are a good match. 

When married couples are asked “If you could redo one thing from your wedding day, what would it be?”  Sadly, the answer is very often the photography.

Think about it! When the cake is gone and the dress is packed away, your wedding photography will be the one lasting symbol of your perfect moments. So, the photographer needs to be chosen wisely. I recommend that you have a portrait or engagement session done before the wedding. 

Different photographers not only have different personalities, but also have unique shooting and editing styles. No one feels creative, happy or themselves when they are forced to hold poses for a photo shoot. That is why I provide direction during sessions to create candid shots, and achieve excellent results.

Also I’ve listed 5 reasons why you should hire me as your wedding photographer.

Everything listed below primarily applies to portrait photography, but weddings are once in a life time event. I hope it will make your evaluation process easy.

1-Passion -Photography is not just a job for me. I don’t do it because I need to. I’m a photographer because I love the art of it, and I love the challenge of composing and creating beautiful photographs. Each wedding marks the start of a family. I have the privilege of creating timeless images for my clients that will be treasured for generations. I get to meet with fantastic people, tear up during ceremonies, and fall in love with their loved ones throughout the event. I get to express my creativity while running my own business and turning amazing clients into even better friends.

2-Skill- I have spent many years learning the craft of photography. The business I run isn’t something I just started on a whim after getting a nice camera and being lucky with getting a few good pictures. I have studied. (I continuously do ) I have experimented. (I still have different projects) I have attended seminars and classes.  I believe photographers should always make time to invest in seminars and classes. I know how to handle the camera in different lighting situations .

3-Planning -I take the time to listen to my clients, their needs, desires, and concerns, focusing on the details the bride wants to share (such as the wedding dress and accessories) so that I may take photographs that my clients will cherish for generations.

4-Approach- I approach each assignment much like a magazine shoot which requires planning, researching, and scouting the venue. This process is applied from start to finish ensuring a high level of professionalism to your images.

5-Simple Pricing- I also don’t believe in unwanted post-wedding sales pitches. I create all-inclusive packages so there are no surprises later. I offer packages which include an engagement session, USB stick, album & prints. I want to make sure that clients’ images don’t sit on a shelf or a disc and never get viewed. They can sometimes get lost in a home move or scratched or damaged beyond repair.

You’ve imagined a perfect day, with memories to last a lifetime. Please hire if I share your vision. You can always email me for pricing. ( call us leave a msg if you like, we would love to hear from you!)

I wish you happy planning!
