While photographing a wedding on the beach here in Key West in amongst the onlookers I saw a little girl smiling as she was looking at the bride. She exclaimed "she looks beautiful like a princess, mommy!" And, so her impression and quest of the perfect wedding dream begins.
Captured in all the fairytale movies wedding you see the emotions that lead up to the actual ceremony. It starts out with a chance encounter boy meets girl. Sparks ignite, then, they share their first kiss, they continue with their relationship overcoming all the obstacles that everyday life puts in front of them, and when he pops the question and she says "Yes, I'll marry you!" What you see next in the movie is their perfect wedding, what you don't see is all the planning and research that went in to make it so.
And so, the celebration of the newly married couple begins, moments that will never be duplicated, details that will be missed, emotions that fill the heart with joy, love, and laughter! How will you be able to recall your wedding? How will you be able to share it with family and friends who were not able to attend? Who will you trust to this once-in-a-lifetime event? Will it be a family member or friend? Someone who may not be familiar with the area chosen for the wedding ceremony?
As a professional wedding photographer here in Key West, Florida, and in doing hundreds of weddings here on the island for many years, experience gives me the knowledge to tell you that only a professional can deliver to you what your heart looks for in both your photography and video capture of your wedding. Yes, I've seen the many changes in photography as perhaps you have, first starting with medium format, then onto 35mm film, and now to the onset of digital, everyone is recognizing how very important photography is to us in our everyday lives, you know it and I do: it is the preferred way to capture those moments with family and friends. This is why it is so important to not only hire but also confirm the experience of a professional photographer or videographer for your wedding.
So you ask, how does one find such a professional? How do you know they are professional? Do they have references from other bridal couples, reviews? How many years have they been shooting weddings? Is wedding photography all they do, or is it just something they do in their spare time, a hobby? Will they be your photographer or if a higher paying job comes along will they hand your wedding photography over to someone not as experienced as they are? What about examples of their work? Are you viewing complete weddings, or just a few sampling of several weddings? What of the experience of knowing the ceremony location? Is it an outdoor venue also known as an uncontrolled environment, with the constant lighting changes that would require adapting the camera functions to accommodate those changes? Most important will the finished product presented to you be the one that causes your heart to smile, and fill with the same emotion you felt on your wedding day? Yes these are many questions we know, but every one of them is important for you and the groom to consider. After all, remember who's wedding it is, who's dream, who's vision, ah yes, it is your perfect wedding you've planned for, yes, your "happily ever after" your striving for as you begin it as a beautiful princess and a handsome prince!
