Right now, most wedding photographers would discuss how beautiful your engagement and wedding pictures will be if you choose them. And, we're gonna get to that, but first, I want to be straight up with you….
You can have the most amazing photos in the world, but if those images aren’t handled
but before I start gushing about all the fun that’s about to go down...
Let me talk to you about a really important topic you might forget to consider when it comes to choosing a photographer.
This is my love letter to you,
cautiously and backed up with CIA-esque savvy,
they can *POOF* disappear.
I’ve heard horror stories of this type of devastation and this is one area that couples forget to consider when they’re scoping out Red Deer or Central Alberta wedding photographers.
Besides Just Snapping Pretty Photos,
I Maintain an Extensive, State-of-the-Art Backup System
And Backup Your Photos for a DECADE
When you’re picking a wedding photographer, you want a...
Creative and a Critical Thinker.
Getting heirloom quality photos you can print—ones that capture the essence of who you are as a couple— is so important.
• The amount of raw talent AND experience
your photographer has
• How educated he or she is on posing
(c’mon, you’ve all seen those awkwardly
posed wedding and engagement shots)
• How comfortable and natural he or she
can make you feel in front of the camera,
because you might be surprised by the
“camera shy” that comes out when it’s
time to click
• The type of experience you have during
hour-long shoots (hint: it should be fun
and fabulous not dull and dreadful)
• The timeliness of your photographer and
how quickly and efficiently you receive
your image gallery
• The continuing education he or she takes
and how up-to-date he or she is on
techniques and new methods
• The amount of raw talent AND experience your photographer has
• How educated he or she is on posing (c’mon, you’ve all seen those
awkwardly posed wedding and engagement shots)

of the camera, because you might be surprised by the “camera
shy” that comes out when it’s time to click

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge for travel?
Oh, heck-to-the-NO! You get nickeled and dimed for everything when you’re getting married. We're not about to ask for more dimes for travel. We go where you need us - simple as that.
(Well, unless of course you want us to get on a plane and then we might be talking about destination wedding photography, which is a totally different story).
