Mark & Amanda

Last night I met with another great, fun couple. They’re getting married later this summer and I will be photographing their wedding. We discussed details and got to know each other better at Starbucks while the weather outside was changing between sunshine, rain and snow. Crazy weather! I sure hope the weather is better for their wedding!

When its possible I try to get together with couples before the day of the wedding. Getting together ahead of time is a perfect opportunity to discuss details, get as much information as possible about the wedding day and “break the ice” so to speak. I want couples to be comfortable and as confident with me as possible before the day of their wedding. A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so as you can imagine… retakes aren’t an option! I believe that its important for couples to know their photographer (whether me or someone else). This enables couples to see the photographer (me) more as a friend on the day of their wedding instead of a stranger behind a big camera with big black bags full of gadgets. This makes for more natural and beautiful pictures. It’s also a great opportunity to meet and make new friends.

Mark and Amanda… it was great getting together. I’m looking forward to your special day!
