I still hear about people who decide that rather than investing in the services of a professional wedding photographer, they'll save money by going with a family member who offers to take some photographs for free or a friend of a friend who will cut them a deal. There are many reasons I would caution against asking someone who is not accustomed to photographing a wedding - even if they have what seems like all the gear - but the most compelling reason has to do with what happens to the images after the wedding. This image from a destination engagement session in Honolulu is a perfect example. All of these images were taken split seconds apart, and processed in different ways. I now have many choices as to which image is the most compelling. And together... wow. How stunning.
Obviously I am biased, but I am also a bride myself. I know that the investment will be worth it when my grandchildren are looking at my wedding photos.

thanks for stopping by, anja!
100% agree. We originally weren't going to hire a photographer for our wedding because Mark's uncle (I'm sure you remember him!) was a "pro." Boy am I glad we changed our minds before it was too late!!! We have so many more great photos from our wedding to show off that we never would have gotten otherwise.
yep, Peicha... I remember him! ;)
Yikes. We should order or wedding photos!
Jon... you guys haven't ordered them yet? Wow!
