Trusting Your Photographer

I’ve got to be honest… The idea for this blog topic has resided at the bottom of my Stickies app’s “to-do” list for mooonths longer than intended. Not because it isn’t important. But because it’s SO important, I wasn’t really sure how to approach it. And now a nice long pause for dramatic effect… ;) (And a picture I’ve absolutely fallen in love with while culling through last weekend’s AMAZING wedding, where trust was overflowing and allowed for the most enjoyable day!!)

I am a firm believer that finding a photographer you can trust is tantamount to enjoying your wedding day to its absolute fullest. If we stop and think about it, no other vendor controls the ebb and flow of the most important day of your life more so than the photographer. We are with you from beginning to end. Whether making sure you get in your dress in time for the first look, or making sure to work fast and efficiently through your list of family formal shots so you can enjoy your cocktail hour… Your photographer’s job is to capture it all artistically and within a realistic time frame that prioritizes YOU and your images. And that kind of responsibility demands a client’s complete, honest-to-goodness, wholehearted TRUST.

I know trusting your photographer isn’t always as easy as writing a blog post on why you should. :) But I truly believe that hiring someone you can trust and then actually TRUSTING them throughout the entire process is the best favor you can do yourself. Your concern should be to enjoy yourself! NOT that we might miss that shot of your great-grandmother breakdancing. We know our craft enough to realize what shots are important to you. You can trust that we know what a solid timeline looks like. And you can trust us to make our creative vision come to life. But only when you intentionally surrender control and just let us do our thang. Because in the end, we know how to best capture your day. And we only want the absolute BEST for you and your images.
