Welcome Kayce!

I agree with Tod 100%, once you have gone through a few websites and found your favorites, arrange a time to talk on the phone with them. The main thing with wedding photographers is that you have to be able to feel comfortable with them. There has to be a bond, and you will definitely know if you have it or not. This is the person (or personS) who will be responsible for the photos your grandchildren will look at many years down the road! Good thing you have an amazing bunch to choose from! all the best!

I have received a few tips in the past, and each one has surprised the heck outta me! I am not sure if its because I am in my first full-time year or not but I think a sincere compliment or 'bragging about the photog' is leaps and bounds more gratifying than a tip could ever be. Of course a tip is usually how most of us show how much we appreciate a service, but honestly with something like wedding photography, the trust alone should be sufficient. Its the most important day of your life, and nowadays EVERYONE and their DOGS are wedding photographers... I always feel like I won American Idol when I get chosen for a wedding lol I've shot 35-40 weddings so far and I STILL get that way and to have a bride brag about how great my services was... thats my tip right there. don't get me wrong though... A guy still has to eat! lol thats just not why we do this, thats all.

Happy Wedding Day guys!!! Hope the weather is PERFECT, everything goes off without a hitch, and you come back with a big ol' ROCK on your finger (and TONS of photos to show us!!!!)

Very well done! Excellent colors!

I honestly think that with the amount of info you can find here, its never too late to start planning! These guys and gals are wicked cool and its almost scary how much they know about destination weddings LOL not only that everyone is really nice here too so everyone will be more than happy to help you out!! so ask away and watch the ideas roll in! Happy Planning!!!

Happy Wedding Day Jessy!!!!

Hello Bonita!

Welcome!

I am SO glad everyone liked the photo of Angela (Yari's daughter) with the hankie! I was SO close to not adding it in because it wasn't the sharpest photo and it was kinda dark, but I am glad that the emotion of the photo over-ruled the 'technicality' of the actual image... as photogs sometimes we really overthink the technicalities of the images and by doing that you start to lose a bit of whats really going on in the image.... (or maybe thats just me lol) I really can't stop watching that show either lol I had SUCH a blast at Yari's wedding and have never felt so much a part of a family of people that I JUST met than with Brian and Yari... you guys really are the perfect definition of love, and I cannot thank you enough for letting me be a part of your day. I love you guys!
