That’s why I encourage couples not to cut corners when choosing a photographer. Hiring a professional wedding photographer is going to give you far superior results than having your “Uncle Bob” do the work, especially if Uncle Bob’s main qualification is that he bought “a really nice camera”. There’s more to it than that.
I’m no expert on cameras and photography, but I do get to see lots and lots of wedding photo albums. Dealing with a pro, you get a much higher percentage of the shots that are excellent and you don’t risk missing those critical parts of the ceremony, such as lighting the unity candle or the first kiss. In our age of digital photography, you also have much more to choose from—sometimes close to a thousand shots.
This past Saturday I had the pleasure of joining Aaron and Danielle in marriage at the Lawton Estate in Garland. Beverly and her staff provide excellent service, impeccable decorations and upscale furnishings at this north central Garland venue.
The couple wanted to include both Christian and Jewish elements to the ceremony so we used the Christian tradition of lighting the unity candle and the Jewish tradition of the groom breaking the glass with his foot. Would you want to risk missing those two pictures? By the way, another Jewish element that Protestants are largely unaware of is that the groom’s parents traditionally escort him down the aisle, just as the bride has an escort down the aisle. Wouldn’t want to miss those shots either.
This particular ceremony was photographed by Laura Parker of Fairy Tale Photography--the three pictures are examples of her work. At Love Notes we keep a list of photographers (including Laura) that we’ve actually worked with, we've seen their work and we know their business reputation.
Bottom line advice for your wedding pictures: Do your homework. Hire a pro. Aaron and Danielle did, and I doubt they’ll ever regret the decision. I appreciate the newlyweds for including me in the celebration, and I appreciate Laura Parker for sending me the pix.
Blessings,
Ken
