There’s no doubt there is a lot that goes into planning a wedding. It is important to find a wedding and engagement vendor that you absolutely love! This is especially true when it comes to a photographer. Not only will you be spending the most important day of your life with them, the photos they capture will be treasured for a lifetime.
The Brides website offers some insight to choosing a wedding photographer with some question to ask:
Is my wedding date available?
How many other wedding will you photograph that weekend?
How long have you been shooting weddings?
Will you have any assistants with you?
What is included in your standard package?
What is your refund or cancellation policy?
Can we request a list of specific shots we would like?
How long after the wedding will we receive the images?
How would you describe your photography style?
Do you offer retouching color adjustment, or other corrective services?
What is included in your standard package?
Will we have the rights to the images?
Sterling Photography captures your love story in pictures
Your story is so much more than saying “I do” in front of your family and friends. It’s about those hundreds of moments throughout the proposal, engagement, rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, reception, and honeymoon.
It’s the getting down on one knee and seeing her face light up and embrace afterwards.
The happy faces of friends and family that haven’t seen each other in a very long time.
The special girl time spent together as the bride gets ready. The make-up, dress, shoes, something borrowed and something new.
The groom’s men racing each other to the dressing room and leaping the hedge just because.
The manly hug between the groom and his best man.
The Loving Glances… The Vows…The Rings…
The dip that takes the bride’s breath away
The surprise tears. That secret kiss. That delicate touch.…
The emotional embrace as the Father of the Bride, gives her away, that special dance, but also the awkward embrace of the Groom and His Dad and the smiles from Mom as she tries to hold back the tears as she dances with her son.
And the eye popping laugher at the reception, close dancing, champagne sipping, garter grabbing, flower throwing, and cutting of the cake.
These are the timeless moments of an age-old ritual that binds two souls together.
Let’s not forget the adorable children blowing bubbles as the happy couple departs.
Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision. Wedding photos are priceless and you’ve got to have the right person behind the lens.
We are reminded of the words of Aaron Suskind, “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.
There is no doubt that the true beauty of some couples is that mystical radiance that shines through their faces as they reflect the warmth and gentle joy of the moment. It’s these moments Sterling Photography captures. Not only through the eyes of the happy couple, but also through their heart.
