Just Engaged?

The month of February is always a very popular month for couples becoming engaged.
If you have just announced your engagement you have a very exciting time ahead of you as you plan for the "Big Day". Many important questions await answers. When will the wedding be? Will it be traditional or innovative? What is our budget for our wedding? What is the location of the wedding and reception? Who will be in the bridal party? What kind of dress do I want? What about the cake/food? Do we want a D.J. or a live band? How about a Limo? The list seems to go on forever. To ensure that your wedding is everything that you dream it to be requires careful planning and then making educated decisions.
One very important decision facing all couples is regarding photography of their wedding. Do you go with a professional or ask a friend or relative to take on this weighty responsibility? As with nearly everything related to the wedding industry -- hiring a professional wedding anything [planner, caterer, florist, videographer, photographer, etc.] is not cheap. The thought may be that in order to make the budget stretch a little further you can do some of these things yourself or ask a close friend, relative or workmate to help out with their particular area of expertise. This idea is great if you have actually seen the end result of their labor -- [attended a wedding they planned, tasted a wedding cake they baked, seen the video of a wedding they produced, or viewed an album of wedding photo's they have shot themselves] -- and you are happy with this product for your wedding. An important thought when it comes to selecting a professional service for your wedding is that quite often a true professional has many years of experience perfecting his or her craft. They are not experimenting with this very important event in your life. They know what can and sometimes does happen at weddings that may require them to call on past experience to make things run smoothly - often without anyone even noticing. No amount of money can replace a ruined wedding cake or botched photographs. You cannot redo your wedding. When the day is over, your guests have all gone home and the dress is packed away - the memories of this day is what remains - the quality of the services you have selected can and will bring back memories that can be of happiness and joy or sadness and utter disappointment. Please take the time to make educated decisions when planning your wedding. Ask questions when meeting with your wedding vendors. Ask to see recent testimonials from current clients. Make sure that you understand all that comes with each package or plan that they offer. Today wedding photographers abound. Some with a great deal of experience shooting weddings and some with very little. Many offer a variety of photography package options at various price points.
