| Q. |
Should
I use an amateur photographer wedding
guest or friend instead of a professional
wedding photographer? |
| A. |
The
choice is yours to make. Wedding photography is art and science mixed gingerly with nerves of steel. Almost everyone has a friend
or friend of the family who is a great amateur photographer. Wedding photography, however, requires the skills, equipment and experience that only comes from the completion of
many weddings. A wedding photographer needs patience and the demeanor to be calm and creative under pressure. It is virtually impossible to be a guest at a wedding while simultaneously watching constantly for important events to unfold. I know this from experience, I've been asked to take photographs at friends' weddings but to relax and have a good time as well. It can't be done. I'm either a guest, or the photographer. Trusting your lifelong wedding memories to a friendly amateur is asking for hurt feelings and uncomfortable situations.
Professional photographers also have a significant investment in the equipment
and extensive training necessary for quality
wedding photography
Asking a guest to be trusted with your primary wedding photographs is an imposition and responsibility that they shouldn't have to undertake.

Yes. We

short notice. |

| Q. |
What
photographic equipment to you use? |
| A. |
We have
3 high resolution digital cameras
including 2 Canons (8 Megapixel, large
CMOS sensor array for very high
resolution images) We have a complete
selection of Canon lenses from 17mm
wide angel to 300mm zoom. We also use
