10 Must Haves for Wedding Photography.

 

1.      Only use photographers that are Full Time professionals.

 

Beware of “part timers”!  Only Full Time professionals invest for the long term and will be around for years to come.  They will use the latest in equipment, techniques, products and styles. Yes, they may cost more but it’s worth every cent!

 

2.      Make sure the photographers will realize YOUR wedding day vision.

 

Be comfortable that your photographers are listening to what YOU want captured and HOW you want it done rather than what they think is best.  Multiple styles of images are best so that everyone will find something to love.

 

3.      Be sure there are 2 photographers, preferably a male and a female.

 

2 photographers can literally be in 2 places at the same time!  One photographer with the bride to capture her last minute tears of joy with mom or dad… while the other is ready for the grooms first look at his bride walking down the aisle!

 

4.      Interview the photographers that will actually be at your wedding.

 

Don’t be fooled by a slick salesman.  Always be sure your meeting with the people that will be there on your special day.  Personality and chemistry between couples and their photographers is critical to a successful and stress free wedding day!

 

5.      Review album samples from your actual photographers.

 

Be wary of “Greatest Hits” albums.  Be sure to see completed albums of the same wedding from start to finish.  Make sure the samples you see are done by the photographers that will be at your wedding.

 

6.      Ability to create a custom package that fits your needs and budget.

 

You should be able to customize your wedding contract so that you get only what you want and need.  A professionally designed wedding album can cost $2000 or more so try to negotiate that into your package up front.

 

7.      Be sure that your photographers are fully insured.

 

Who will be responsible if there is an accident involving your photographer?

 

8.       Make sure the studio has backup plans for both people and equipment.

 

Stuff happens!  Do your photographers carry a minimum of 2 additional sets of equipment to your wedding?  What happens if they get sick the day before your wedding?  There is only one chance to get your wedding day images right!

 

9.      Membership in professional organizations like PPA or CPPA.

 

This is so important!  Professional Photographers Association (PPA) and the Connecticut Professional Photographers Association (CPPA) provide access to the latest in education, trends, techniques, equipment, products and styles.

 

10.  Online posting of your images is a must.

 

Relatives and friends will have the opportunity to view and purchase the images from your wedding.  One less thing for your to worry about… or pay for!  How cool is that!

What should I wear for my Engagement Session?

 

Couples should wear clothes that will complement their lifestyle without being the center of attention.  This will allow your expressions and emotions to shine through beautifully! 

 

Generally speaking, matching light or dark colors look very nice.  Think earth tones.  Please stay away from bright colors, strong patterns or logo tee shirts. 

 

A collared golf shirt or dress shirt looks great on the guys.  Ladies look very nice in full, 3 quarter, or half sleeves.  Any neckline will work fine.  Jewelry is recommended and of course your engagement ring is a must.  Light makeup and nice hair is highly recommended.

What should I wear for my Portrait Session?

 

 

Arrive Early:  If you show up late or not ready, you will have less time in the camera room. If you need to get ready here (hair, makeup, etc.) please arrive early enough to be ready by your start time.

Clothing:  Wear similar tones of clothing.  Try to think in black and white tones; if everyone wears dark blue and one person wears white, the eye will be drawn to the person wearing white. If there’s a reason that one person should stand out, then do it.  Generally speaking, matching light or dark colors look very nice.  Think earth tones.

 

Denim in any color works well.  It’s classic, it’s informal and it comes in lots of great colors. Best of all, it never goes out of style.

 

Avoid patterns, logos, branding, and any busy designs. Stripes, plaids, checks and busy patterns like paisley can often look distracting.  AVOID SUNBURN!!

 

Beware the color red.  It attracts attention! If you want to stand out on purpose, wear red.

White is a great, classic choice and it makes for a timeless portrait.

 

Some shots are close up, others are full length. Plan outfits completely.

 

Hair, hands and nails:  Make sure your hands and nails look presentable; they usually end up in some pictures.  Light makeup and nice hair is highly recommended.  Avoid changing your hairstyle or cutting your hair right before your session. Let it be natural.

 

Jewelry: Best tip here, keep it simple. We want the attention on you.

 

Just two of you?  Couples should wear clothes that will complement their lifestyle without being the center of attention.  This will allow your expressions and emotions to shine through beautifully!  A collared golf shirt or dress shirt looks great on the guys.  Ladies look very nice in full,  ? , or half sleeves.  Any neckline will work fine.  

 

Special requests:  Please let us know ahead of time so we can prepare properly!  If you’ve seen a special pose you’d like to have, don’t hesitate to ask!  Clip it out of a magazine!  Got some special props – That’s great!  Pets are welcome too.

What should I expect at the Proof Review & Sales session?

 

 

Sales Appointment:  After your photo session, we will schedule your return sales appointment for one to two weeks later.  Please bring all the necessary people to view and order portraits as all selections will be made at this time.  If everyone that wants prints can’t make the sales appointment, you will need to re-schedule or be sure you have their order ready ahead of time.  Once you have decided on your favorite poses, we will begin to choose what sizes are required.  Please be certain of all of your choices before you leave. 

 

Prepare:  Please have an idea of where you will be hanging your portraits and what size will fit.  Many people do not know what size they need and we will be happy to help you with this.

 

Children:  Please do not bring your young children with you.  As much as we love the little ones, we need you to focus on the selection process.  We may be 1-2 hrs or longer.  Please do not schedule any appointments directly following so that you will not be rushed.

 

Framing:  We offer custom framing.  Any image that we frame will be unconditionally guaranteed for life!  Drop it, kids break it, flood damage – we’ll replace it free!

 

Payment:  A 50% deposit is due at this appointment to place your order.  Production of your order will begin immediately following your appointment; therefore all sales are final.  Cash or check is preferred.

 

Order Fulfillment:  Your order will usually be completed and ready for pickup in about two weeks.  Let us know if all or part of your order needs to be delivered or if you need assistance with hanging your portraits.

You may have noticed that we don't list our prices on our website.  There is so much more that goes into the "value" of our photography than can be represented by a simple number.  First and foremost, we want you to be sure that you LOVE our style, approach and personalities.  We ask that you call us first, so we can talk with you and discover what your vision is for the precious moments we'll capture that you'll cherish for generations. 

Our clients truely VALUE the award winning photography and services we offer.  That's why they come back to see us time and time again.  We aren't looking for bargain hunters, we want to establish long term relationships with our clients and their families.  It's a privilage to watch so many families and friends grow over the years.  The baby bump of your first child, your toddler's impish grin, the 5 generations sitting together, the smile on dad's face...

The cost of our photographs aren't expensive... They're priceless!
