What ends up on your coffee table and your walls? Your wedding images… your AMAZING wedding photographs. It doesn’t matter whether you contract an Omaha Wedding Photographer or one of the incredible photographers from Orange County, your wedding photographer is SOOOO important. Likely, the most important part of your budget because when all is said and done, that is all that remains.

Here is the story behind this wedding tip! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I only shoot ten-twelve weddings per year, and my last bride inquiry really made me think about this tip!

This bride REALLY wanted me to photograph her gig… (this made me feel very good about myself), and she knew I had a limit… upon initial contact, her first words weren’t about wedding packages, wedding pricing, wedding style or anything other than when would Christina be available to create some stellar wedding portraits?

We discussed the details, and she took three dates back to her fiance to discuss.

How fun!

Relating this to myself… I have a list of maybe five photographers in the running to photograph my incredible gig this year. , and I know that I will be booking my photographer before I book anything else! I love it!
