It’s refreshing to see industry peers and clients alike understanding that, despite all the savings opportunities that are available to you when planning your wedding, photography is not the place to cut corners. The reality is, the flowers and cake last the day, but the photos are the tangible memories that you’ll have that tell the story of one of your most important days – and those memories should never be skimped on.
In this industry, and with no one particular in mind, we’ve known several folks who truly believe that a ‘picture is a picture’ and genuinely have a difficult time understanding the value in quality photography for their wedding. Even before we began photographing weddings, we never quite understood how or why, out of all the areas a person can choose to explore cost savings, their photography would be the element they think can cut back on.
The reality is that, long after everyone forgets the food, the cake, the flowers and even the speeches or toasts there will be your photos, albums, even canvases for the walls – there will be your memories and the visual testimony to all of the happiness, the food, the speeches, the smiles, tears, the private moments and the way that you or your bride looked in that dress and it’s those photos that will be endure forever. And let’s even forget the present, let’s think of kids and grandkids. Imagine your children and grand-children pouring over those photos many, many years from now and having a beautiful testament to your wedding and the marriage that made their life possible.
