Day # 8 - Picture Perfect {Capturing the Memories}

Your wedding photographs are the memories tying you to your wedding day forever. You want to make sure you make the best decision in picking your professional photographer. Browse photographers websites and set up interviews to find out pricing details and see their portfolio. You should pick the photographer that has the best personality with the best work and will provide you a great experience as well as lasting photographers of wonderful memories.

My suggestion is to make sure you feel comfortable with your photographer on a personal level, and that their style of photography meshes well with your own wedding day style. Book an engagement session in order to get yourself comfortable in front of the camera with your photographer. Make sure at least 2 photographers will be on site during your wedding day and that you communicate any special memories you want captured (i.e. pictures with elderly family members). Also, have a wedding coordinator help keep your photographers on track time-wise (kindly, of course!) in order to keep your day running smoothly.

If you are in the Southern California area, my favorite photographers that I can highly recommend on not only a professional, but personal level are:

Bleu Cotton Photography - Bleu and Alison Cotton {www.bleucotton.com}

Elle Photography - Laura Swendson {www.ellephotography.com}

Sipper Photography  - Dana and Jeff Sipper {www.sipperphotography.com}

I guarantee these photographers will make your day complete and your moments last forever!
