Advantages of the Engagement Shoot

Most couples agree that they anticipate an unreasonable amount of stress on their wedding day. Without proper attention, the stress often shows in their photographs. Why settle for this when it's avoidable? Most people have never been professionally photographed before their wedding day. Grant recommends a low stress shoot first, because, “most people need familiarity to feel comfortable. The engagement shoot is a fun and incredibly valuable experience.” It's just a few hours of adventure invested at a beach or park, while looking good for your loved one. You learn about a dozen great tips on how to look better for your wedding day, and develop a comfortable relationship with your photographer at the same time. If this appeals to you, please take advantage of the January wedding special that includes an engagement sitting. This offer is available through October 2006 for all weddings secured during the months of January and February.

Why hire a professional Wedding photographer?

How many wedding disasters have you heard? About 10 years ago, I had a new friend inquire on the options for printing his wedding photographs. He had negotiated all the negatives from a photographer friend who worked on the side. He paid for his time and materials and received all the film at the end of the day. After processing, he discovered something had terribly gone wrong. The lab said it was the photographer's fault and the photographer said it was the lab's fault. After viewing the film leaders and frame borders, I concluded the film had been properly developed, and the photographer was at fault. Once confronted, the photographer "friend" claimed he didn't have the money to refund...

I felt sorry for this unfortunate groom because he had paid too much for the few prints that could be salvaged!
