What About Photographers?
(obviously not in alphabetical order)
Yes. I *do* recommend other photographers.
Sometimes I’m already committed for your wedding day, and I want you to have he best photographer that’s still available.
But I don’t refer just anyone.
Think for a moment, about what goes into photographing a wedding.
In just one day, a wedding photographer must be an Individual & Couple Portrait Photographer, a Child Photographer, a Family Photographer, a Commercial Product Photographer (Rings, Cakes, Flowers, Cars), a Photojournalist and more.
It takes more than “someone with a good camera, who takes nice pictures” to stay on task and focused on you, for 8, 10, or 12 hours – often without lunch – to creatively capture the memories of a full wedding day.
So, I’m very careful about who I recommend if I’m already taken for your wedding day.
BECAUSE:
After the wedding day is over….
. After the rentals are returned….
. After what you spent hundreds of dollars for, is now in the trash….
. After what you spent thousands of dollars for, is headed for the city sanitation department….
The only thing you’ll have left to remember you wedding day….
. The thing you’ll want to share with your daughter as she snuggles on your lap….
. Or, someday, with your granddaughter, who somehow doesn’t realize what a gorgeous bride her Grandma was….
Is your collection of wedding images.
The only thing from your wedding that actually grows in value every year as loved ones pass….
Is your collection of wedding images…. hopefully in a storytelling album where they can be enjoyed for generations….
not just on a DVD, the next generation’s equivalent of 8mm movie film with no projector.
(Trivia fact: At one time 8mm was considered the state-of-the-art way to capture weddings at one time. – so sad for so many now.)
So, if I’m not available to preserve the memories of your wedding day, I’ll be sure to recommend someone who I would trust with my own daughter’s, and some day granddaughter’s wedding images.
