S P OT L I G H T
A brief overview of my business:
Photography was a hobby for many years. 18 years ago it
became a part time job, and for the last several years my
full time job. The awesome thing is that I love it even more
and it still remains a hobby in my spare time with personal
projects. I am always learning and growing.
What advice would you give brides on choosing a
photographer for their big day?
Meet your photographer - They are going to be with you
nearly all day and you want to know they have the kind of
personality, style and work ethic you want.
Know Your Price Range - Cheap wedding photography is not
always good and good wedding photography is not cheap.
Look at a complete wedding (or two) - Ask to see an entire
wedding that includes all aspects of the wedding from
getting ready to the reception images. Make sure the images
you see are actually theirs and not stolen “samples” of their
work. This is so common in the digital age.
Get real reviews - Ask your venue manager, look at reputable
wedding sites, talk to your DJ and other vendors about who
they have worked with.
What sets your company apart from similar businesses in
the area?
Experience - I have photographed and filmed over 700
weddings in several states and a few countries. I have
worked for magazines, photographic wildlife safari
companies in Africa, newspapers, sports publications and
the world's largest sailing magazine over the years. All this
experience comes to every wedding I photograph.
Personal Service - Clients meet with me, get my cell number
and I make myself available for advice on timelines and
logistics.
Adaptability - I have shot weddings in rain, near hurricane
winds and managed formals in ten minutes in snow after the
Limo got lost. I don’t stress, I adapt and I love the challenge.
Make sure your photographer has backup gear, and
shooters if a mishap occurs.
