The Wedding Photographer Search...

We've posted many times about how to search for a wedding photographer, how to know when you've found the right one, and what questions to ask. It's a good time of year to dig some of those up and share them. Our feelings haven't changed and won't. So Ashley and I thought we'd open up on ourselves a little more and also share these past posts.


Ashley and I act on one simple principle. We are your guests. Now certainly not all guests are expected to carry around the cameras and get the must have shots, but ultimately we must behave as though we are guests at your wedding or we create an unnecessary distraction. The wedding day is about 2 people coming together to form a life long bond to one another. Not about how great your photographer is or how close they can get to the bride and groom during the ceremony.


Ashley and I are incredibly laid back and easy going. We've done this enough that everything we do comes as second nature. We know how things will flow, we know what to expect, and we know how to react if things don't go as planned. We aren't intense. We aren't aggressive. We aren't over the top. We are really relaxed and expect every photo session to be the same. Weddings are stressful, and any bride will certainly attest to that at some point. We want things to be tension free and fun. That's our attitude when we shoot a wedding, and when we are not shooting weddings. For some people this attitude that we have is a bad thing. They need intense, aggressive, and over the top...but that is just not us.


Ashley and I have one goal. To capture your day as if we were never there. If you hadn't brought in a photographer to capture the day, things would happen a certain way. No one would cheese for the cameras and no one would hide from the cameras. So we do things and use our own "techniques" to avoid being seen a lot and causing people to have one of the reactions mentioned above. A natural reaction is the photographers holy grail. Being able to capture a moment in time that still evokes emotion years later is what we strive for.


Ashley and I like to get to know a little bit about you. We also want you to know about us. Who we are, what we are, and everything in between. Choosing your photographer is not always a business decision. It has to feel right and you have to matchup to that photographer. If personalities clash it may only lead to stress on your wedding day.
