Choosing a Great Wedding Photographer Part 2

Posted on by

I previously went over a few things you’ll want to keep in mind as you choose a wedding photographer, and this topic is so important that I thought it would be worth a little more attention. One of the more obvious things to check on when choosing a photographer is price. You should have an established budget for what you’re willing to pay for wedding photos. This obviously depends on what you want, but it could range from very little to the most expensive item you plan for. I’ve known people who have done both extremes and many somewhere in … Continue reading →

Choosing a Great Wedding Photographer

Posted on by

I’ve heard over and over that one of the most important things you choose when getting married (other than your spouse) is your photographer. I’ve talked to people who have loved their wedding photos, and those who nearly cry every time they see them because they hate them so badly. I don’t think anyone wants to be in that last boat. Even when the photos turn out well, you may experience frustration with the photographer’s schedule, policies, or other quirks. There’s a lot to think about before your big day. So when you’re choosing your photographer, here are a few … Continue reading →

Creating a Wedding Wall

Yesterday I mentioned re-creating a wedding wall. So what is a wedding wall? This was something we had in a previous house. When she was younger our daughter could hardly wait for the day she would be married and go up on the wedding wall. It took us a while to get to it. After we moved, we put up couple of photos on whatever hooks happened to be already in the house but that was it. However, we always intended to put the wedding wall back together. Now, finally after a lot of time, fiddling and patience, it is … Continue reading →

Photography Potpourri—-Wedding Picture Reunion

I’ve written a series of blogs on wedding photography, which included a variety of sub-topics from what qualities you should look for in a wedding photographer to how much you should expect to pay for memorable shots. But, what about those couples that can’t afford to shell out big bucks for a photo album filled with prize-winning wedding pictures? An Ohio couple marking their 27th anniversary has an answer you may find hard to believe. Karen Cline married the love of her life in 1980. Back then she and her beloved were teenagers with very little money. Cline was 18 … Continue reading →

Creating a Balanced Wedding Photo Album

Unless you and your fiancé ran off alone to tie the knot it’s likely your wedding pictures don’t just feature a bride and groom. At least it shouldn’t. To achieve a well-balanced wedding photo album you want to find the right mix between candid shots of the bride and groom, formal shots of the entire wedding party and intimate moments like the mother of the bride’s reaction to seeing her little girl walking down the aisle in her wedding gown. Formal Shots. What bride doesn’t want formal photos of her closest friends and family decked out in their finest? While … Continue reading →

Wedding Picture Reminders

In a previous blog I addressed key points in finding the right wedding photographer. Once you’ve secured a professional you are confident will perfectly document your big day it’s time to move on to other considerations. The following wedding photo tips are ones you should consider before you walk down the aisle: Less Is Not Always Best. Brides tend to underestimate the number of pictures they may need for their wedding albums. In most cases you’ll end up wanting more than you ordered (especially if the end results were better than you expected). Err on the side of caution and … Continue reading →

In Love with My New iPhone

I have written about how much I disliked my last phone. I have tweeted it and I have Facebooked about it. Yes, I was a bit obsessed with how much I disliked my Vortex (Android). It was not until I already made the purchase that I read a review where the writer said he would like to run over the phone a few times. I thought that was a pretty harsh sentiment. However, in time, I understood that sentiment all too well. I even caught myself wishing a plague upon the store that sold me the phone. Yet, it was … Continue reading →

Do the Shutter Shuffle

Posted on by

When you are photographing a special occasion, like a birthday party, it’s likely that there will be a series of events that take place in the same area. For example, the dining room might be the location for the meal, cake, and the gift opening. You might capture a few shots of the kids playing in the backyard, but for the most part, when you look through your photos at the end of the night, you’re going to start feeling like they all look the same. Here’s a picture of Johnny blowing out his candles at the dinner table. Here … Continue reading →

An FHE Challenge

Posted on by

Yesterday in Sunday School we learned about Moses’ last sermon to the Children of Israel. We learned about the advice he gives them, about the phylacteries they wore, and the symbols they placed on their doorposts to remind them of their God. While we don’t wear these leather bands on our heads and arms, we aren’t so different today. Many LDS people wear symbols of their faith including CTR rings, Young Women medallions or scouting pins, and other visual reminders. Many of us also have visual reminders in our homes of our faith such as pictures, statues, and plaques. But … Continue reading →

Giving in to Social Trends?

Has the church given into to the trends of society? The Church of England recently announced a plan for a double ceremony or as some dubbed it a ‘hatch and match’ ceremony, where the couple the can be married and then have their child baptized or themselves too if they like on the same day as part of the same ceremony. The situation that has brought this about is that while the church believes that the best place for sex is within marriage relationship, the reality shows that around 44 percent of women are not married when they give birth. … Continue reading →
