Tips and Advice

If I could offer some advice to engaged couples looking for a photographer for their wedding, I would tell them to pick someone who is not only an excellent photographer, but who is easy to work with.  Your photographer will be coordinating with you, your family, the DJ, your caterer and other vendors that will be there making your day perfect.  Find a photographer that takes a personal interest in your wedding, not one who will send someone else to do the photography for them.  Your photographer will be right with you throughout your entire day, helping to smooth out any difficulties, so pick someone who really cares.  I would also look for a photographer you can purchase the images from on DVD when the wedding is over.  There are some photographers who won't consider this, but I believe they should be available should you wish to have them.
