There is a person at your wedding who can make or break how your day unfolds and greatly influence the experience of your special day for you as well as your family and guests. That person is your wedding photographer.

There are many factors to be considered when choosing a wedding photographer such as years of experience and style of wedding photography. Photography is a combination of art and craft. Some may be great craftsmen but lack an artistic sensibility that must be honed over decades as a professional photographer. Many photographers can create good photos when the conditions are perfect, but a true pro can create award winning photos of your wedding under difficult or sometimes adverse conditions.

As wedding photographers we sometimes are accused of charging an excessive amount of money for the work we do. Wedding photography is an extremely demanding profession and until you yourself have photographed a wedding, you have no idea just how difficult it is.

The craft and purely technical end is very difficult under the varied and shifting conditions that occur during most wedding days. The challenge is mastering the craft part to the point it is second nature while concentrating on creating artistic and dynamic photographs. In addition, a professional wedding photographer must constantly be aware of everything that is going on in order to capture every important moment. This all must be done while constantly monitoring the lighting as well as camera settings and operation to insure all the photographs are successful. This is what takes many years of experience to accomplish.
