                     {Wanda Lechene Photography}

Your engagement portraits are one of the most important centerpieces that is in your home. When years and years go by, looking at your engagement portraits will bring back memories of this magical time and day, when you two were totally smitten with love for each other. One day you will be showing your children and visitors, family and friends that come into your home, how very important a couple truly is to you.
 
The second important centerpiece to your home is the photographic record of your wedding, your wedding pictures. Having your memories captured and relived through portraits will bring alive those memories to share with people you love and will bring laughter, joy, and happiness. From the preparation of the bride, to the walk down the aisle, to the nuptials, to the first kiss as husband and wife, to the fun of the reception, all of your most precious moments will be captured for perpetuity.
As your contracted wedding photographer, my greatest duty is to capture your special day and all of the joy that is in it. My promise to you is that no effort will be spared in fulfilling my duties.   Please look through my site and take just a few minutes to contact me and I will be happy to talk to you about my services and how I can help to make your wedding a very special day.

Tips and Advice
Hello brides and grooms. I have been thinking about giving some tips and advice that would help you search for vendors for your wedding.

Now, all of you know that planning a wedding isn’t easy and finding the right photographer for your wedding is stressful.

Every one knows that when looking for your vendors you do test runs, correct?

For example: when looking for a cake you want to taste the cake before you buy it.

Or, when you look for your dress you want to try it on before you say ‘this is the one.’

And when you are looking for a hair stylist, you want to make sure the stylist can do the hair style the way you want it done, so you do a test run.

So why not test a photographer?

Now not all photographers would do a test run, but I do because I want my client to feel comfortable with me and I want to let them know that their photographs are going to be beautiful. They get to see how I work so when the wedding comes they’re at ease. My test runs are FREE engagement portrait sessions.

Before you start searching for a photographer, ask yourself first: what type of style do I prefer? If you don’t know what types of styles are popular right now, you can search for images on Google or on yahoo and find lots of styles. Just search for weddings or wedding hair styles.

When you find some photographer’s websites, you want to look for some discounts. If they don’t have it listed, contact them and ask if they are having any discounts. It does not hurt to ask.

Finally, you want to meet with your photographer in a face-to-face meeting so that you can see them in person. Don’t be afraid of the meeting, it does not mean you have to book them right away. The meeting is just so you get to meet them in person and see everything that they can offer you and if they are a person you can trust.

Well, I hope this advice will help on your search for vendors.
