Say Cheese!


Our current focus is on photography, videography and capturing the moments we want to remember.

This is one area where this DIY bride is torn. As an events person, I understand the importance of having a talented photographer group people together, anticipate memorable moments, and take quality frames in all lighting scenarios. This is an element that cannot be rushed.

This week we are meeting with a few potential photographers that fit into our budget and I want to be prepared with the right questions.

Concerns I have:
- I don't want to feel like my wedding day is one long photoshoot
- I'd like our pictures to look natural, no crazy poses
- Capturing the details of the day, group family photos and candid shots are important to us
- Is a 2nd photographer necessary when everyone brings their own digital cameras?
- What should we hire the videographer for? the whole day?
- Photography packages really start to add up, what is really necessary?
- Should we do an engagement photoshoot?

For all the brides out there, I would love some feedback.

  1. hi pam!! i have a thought!! i went to a friend's wedding and they had a 'photobooth' where you could go get your picture taken, printed, and then they put all the pix up on a site. it was great fun for us guests and then the couple got to see everyone having fun! not sure what the cost was. http://weddingsbytwo.smugmug.com/gallery/8724707_2WW6m#576811639_foGuA
