One of the biggest influences on how pictures will turn out, is your wedding party. Most people don’t even introduce the photographer to their family, bridesmaids, and groomsmen. Remember, many people are camera shy and really don’t like to get their picture taken. If they are avoiding pictures or trying to rush through things, that is going to limit your photographer and also put a downer on your day. When I book a bride, they are normally very inspired to get some great shots and spend some quality time on pictures. Most grooms are the complete opposite. However, when both are excited about it, is when great things happen. If that is you, you should stress that to your wedding party as well. Show your bridesmaids some picture ideas that you have. Mention to the groomsmen how much this means to you. Looking back at my own wedding, those photographers had it easy. Getting a great picture was near the top of our list for the day. Our wedding party knew that as well and was excited for the hour we planned for fun shots on Main Street of our small town. What did we end up with? Walls filled […] Read More

When deciding on a wedding photographer, many different questions need to be answered. Wedding photographers can influence your day in a positive or negative way for both you and your guests. It seems like it should be as easy as picking a person within your budget and moving on, but trust me… it is not. The first thing to look at is budget. Wedding photographers in the Omaha, NE area can cost anywhere between $1000 – $5000. Price doesn’t always determine quality either. If you are looking for a straight-forward price, check their website first. I may be different than some, but if I didn’t see a package price listed directly on the site I move on to the next photographer. Secondly, consider style. Whether you are looking for an artistic or journalistic photographer, you need to match your style with theirs. That should be as easy as looking at their website and knowing if you like their photos or not. Don’t settle because the price is right, there are probably 10 more wedding photographers around with the same price range. Style also affects the way they take pictures. Are they going to stop you in the middle of the […] Read More
