Fearless Bridal Sessions
Casey Jo Ailes | February 3, 2012Trash the dress photos have become an up and coming trend over the last ten years. I prefer to call them the Fearless Bridal Session. The contrast of elegant clothing with an environment in which it is out of place is nothing new to the fashion or glamour industry, but this is our chance to be a part of that era and really create something original.
Setting the Stage for Candid Images
Nicole Morehead | December 19, 2011Out are the days of looking straight into the camera and smiling a toothy, fake smile...In are the days of looking natural and letting your emotions tell your wedding story (otherwise known as “candid” photos).
The Importance of Hiring a Professional Wedding Photographer
Marty Moran | December 14, 2011After the flowers have wilted, the dress tucked away, the cake is eaten, and the guests return home, your wedding photographs are all you have to hold in your hands and remember the most important day of your life.
Videography vs. Cinematography
Samuel Gensic | September 29, 2011Understanding the differences could entirely change not only how you think about your wedding budget, but how you experience the most important day of your life.
An E-Session: What is it Really About?
Brittani Renee | May 10, 2011Engagement sessions (also known as E-sessions) are not just for getting "the announcement shot.” Rather, they’re about capturing the relationship that's unique to each couple.

Meet Your Photographer Before You Book Them
Heather Sanderson | February 7, 2011One of the things that comes to mind for me as a photographer (even as an everyday person) is first impressions. In that first meeting, you can see how that other person reacts to you, read their body language, see their facial expressions and even how they interact with other people around them.
Why a Wedding Videographer is Important
Ashley Stills | January 24, 2011Photography is an art form and it captures one aspect of your wedding day beautifully. A video, on the other hand, is different because it includes movement and sound – your walk down the aisle, what it sounded like when you were pronounced husband and wife for the first time, that groovy dance only your Dad knows how to do and the crazy stories the best man chose to share.
Shopping For The Right Photographer
Laura Geiger | January 17, 2011There is something very exciting and comforting about that instant and natural rapport between client and photographer. It’s the same good feeling you get when you connect with anyone for the first time. This should hold true for all the key players in your wedding day. DJs, planners, caterers, florists, etc… When I meet with potential clients I am interested in their story, individually and as a couple. I want to know how they met and what their connections and common interests are.
Mishaps, Good-haps, and Better Photographs
Nicole Waldron | November 29, 2010There is a photo that sits in our studio window of a bride and groom surrounded by their bridal party, and when potential clients come in for a consultation, they always say, “I want that.” Of course you’re probably wondering what ‘that’ is. Well it’s not the pose or the location, it’s what the people are doing that the couples want – the group in the photograph is having fun!
