Thoughtful Advice from a Wedding Photographer

After photographing hundreds of weddings over 11 years as a wedding photographer, I've seen it all.  I was also a bride who invested a lot of time, energy, and money into planning my own wedding, so I remember what it felt like to be really nervous and wanting everything to turn out well.  Having great  information from experienced professionals makes it easier for couples to make informed decisions about their own wedding.  I pride myself on sharing objective, balanced and thoughtful advice- so my tips are designed to inform you of the many options available, so that you can make the best decisions based on who you are and what you value.  If you like my tips and would like me to write on additional subjects that aren't listed here, just leave me a comment with a question!
