I created this blog, not to blast out my opinions, but to gather opinions from those who are seeking or have recently used a wedding or portrait photographer. I believe that as a photographer I work for my customers, not for my self. This blog is one way to help me avoid assumptions about the needs and desires of my customers. I'll be posting different topics in hopes that everyone will participate and provide their opinions.

What is important to you when seeking out a wedding photographer?

I have gotten a lot of good feedback from my wedding clients who have shared their opinions, expressing great satisfaction with their wedding photography experience and images. That is the kind of news I want to hear and is very rewarding! Right now I’m still trying to find out what things are most important, especially during these difficult economic times, when a bride and groom are searching for their wedding photographer.

My approach to this issue is to provide a great, easy going experience for the bride, groom, their family, and their guests. I don’t want the bride or groom to be in any way stressed out about their photography experience. This combined with my creative style, has provided all of my customers with a great experience and most importantly this approach has rendered artistic, beautiful images for my clients.

I have integrated more products (folios, prints, etc), as well as include digital retouching and creative editing in every one of my packages to provide my clients with much more comprehensive packages to choose from for their money than my competition. I also allow customizable packages, as everyone has different needs and perhaps one of my three standard packages does not fit their exact needs. To me, this seems really important. Let’s face it, wedding photography is expensive and I want my clients to feel assured that their money is well spent and they are getting exactly what they need. What are your thoughts about this and how important is this to you? What else do you look for when seeking out a wedding photographer?

  1. I think the most important part is to capture as much as possible, and the second most important piece would be the creativity of the photographer.
