This is the time of year that I meet with lots of brides and grooms about their wedding. I get lots and lots of questions that I expect. Not much surprises me when it comes to questions. One I don’t get asked, mainly because the magazines don’t have it listed, is “why do you shoot weddings?” I think that is an important question to ask. Here is my version of the answer.
I don’t shoot 40 plus weddings a year so I can make tons and tons of money. I shoot about 15 weddings a year because I like to get to know every couple. You won’t just be a number in my year, you will be a couple that has chosen to work with me.
I don’t think I am some rock star wedding photographer with a huge ego. On your wedding day I am working for you and capture everything you want throughout the day. However, I am capturing the day as I see it, which is what you have seen in the images on the blog and the website. I do think my images are pretty good though!
I don’t only shoot weddings. I am a professional photographer by choice and I only shoot weddings and the engagement sessions that go along with each wedding. I also work at a college and get to stay connected with what is cool with my future brides! Recently, I made a decision to focus only on weddings because I love weddings.
So there is an idea of why I shoot weddings. I simply think they are a ton of fun. All that being said, 2010 is booking up pretty fast, only a few more to go for me. Kate is still booking weddings and has dates open. All the best – Craig
