We had a very fun and energetic Portrait Session with Mia in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina.

Mia was very happy during this day.

It was a great day to be out and about.

We spent most of the time chasing after squirrels, birds, dogs and anything that moves. Here she meets a very unique dog.

Here is her running.

… and running!

… and running some more!

Choosing a Wedding Photographer

Wedding photography is one of the most important parts of the wedding.  After the wedding, the flowers will wilt, the food will be eaten, the decorations will be thrown away, but the wedding photos and the wedding album will stay with the family for years and years to come.  Most people still have their parents’ or grandparents’ wedding albums 10, 20, 50 years after the wedding.

The wedding day is the one day in a person’s life that they actually NEED a professional photographer.  The bride looks more beautiful on this day than any other day in her life.  She has probably spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on the wedding dress, her makeup, her hairstyle, her shoes and her accessories.  You need a professional photographer to make sure that you and your wedding are captured in the best way possible.

How to choose a wedding photographer

Price
A major consideration for most wedding couples is the price.   Some couples allot 10% of their wedding budget for the photographer; others allot 60% of their wedding budget.  It all depends on how important wedding photography is in your priorities.

Wedding photographers range anywhere from $900 - $5000.   Usually, the higher you pay, the better quality photography you will get.  This is because, in general, better wedding photographers are able charge more.  Sometimes, you will luck out and get somebody really good but still in the early part of their career so you can get a lower price.

Generally, depending on your needs, it is cheaper to buy a whole package than buying a la carte.

Wedding Photography Package
In today’s digital age, it is very important to own a CD of your wedding photos.  Make sure your wedding photography package includes a CD of your high-resolution images that you will be able to print, view and share from, or that it is relatively inexpensive to purchase it from your wedding photographer.

Style
There are different styles of wedding photography.

• Traditional Wedding Photography
  This is the photographic style from our parents’ and grandparents’ wedding albums.  In traditional wedding photography, the photographer poses and sets up everything.  This produces very pleasing, formal, “perfect” images which sometimes might seem too unnatural or contrived. 

• Photojournalistic Wedding Photography
  (also called documentary, candid photojournalism)
  In photojournalistic wedding photography, the photographer captures moments as they happen and doesn’t direct any action at all.  The resulting photographs look more natural but might be too gritty sometimes.

• Portrait Journalism 
  Portrait Journalism is a blend of the traditional and photojournalistic style.  This is a great compromise for people who want the more modern look of photojournalism but also a little bit of the traditional elegant poses.

When you find a wedding photographer that you like, book him or her as soon as possible to ensure their availability.  Most wedding photographers reserve dates on a first-come, first-served basis so make sure you book them so you don’t miss out.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New Year everyone!

2007 has been a really good year for us and I think 2008 will be even better!  We thank all our clients for all their support. 

2008 looks really good.  We already have a lot of wedding dates reserved so if you wish to book us as your wedding photographer, please do so as soon as possible because dates are really going fast, especially for the more in-demand wedding months.  Please call me or email me to confirm if your wedding date is still open so I can send you a contract.  This is not the time to be hesitant since January is always a big booking month.

08/08/08 surprisingly is still open so if anybody is getting married on this day, we’re available. 

We also have a new and improved price list for 2008 effective this January.  I think it’s easier to understand and more versatile than our old price list.

Boudoir Session

After our big day from the Old Sheldon Church Wedding, we had another photo shoot, this time a boudoir portrait session. 

Theresa wanted to give her husband a special gift for Christmas. She was very cooperative and easy to work with and top of that, she was really pretty.  She had three different outfits for this photo shoot.

This boudoir photography session was shot in Summerville, South Carolina.

This is Theresa against her beautiful tiled windows.

This is in a blue bedroom with blue sheets.

Here is her wearing her husbands military uniform.

This is one of her in her bathtub.

Here is one of my favorite shots from the shoot.

Theresa and her husband were very happy with the photographs.  In fact, here is what she said after she got the photos:

“I had been thinking about getting boudoir photos taken to send to my
husband overseas, but I was nervous about having such intimate photos
taken by a complete stranger. Honey made me feel completely comfortable. The session went smoothly,
and they were always willing to be flexible and answer any questions I
had. I had a great time, and my husband loved them!”

You can learn more about Boudoir Photography by going to our boudoir website at http://boudoirsc.com .  We also do glamour shots, maternity, fashion and other types of photography.
