The value of a wedding album

Why print?
Unfortunately, digital files are open to interpretation so all of a sudden, photos I’ve put my heart and soul into will be printed on a two-cent piece of paper. The colours won’t align with the original image and that’s why I provide you with a framed, fine-art print still if you go the USB only option. So you can see for yourself.
Stop taking photographs. Now!
Anyone starting out in photography needs to do one thing: stop photographing! I learned this the hard way after my early career in realising that I had no idea what I was photographing. I’d push the shutter for the sake of taking a photograph without any thought process behind it.
Why you need a professional photographer
Up until now, your wedding is probably the biggest event where the most amount of people from your families will be coming together. It’s important you have that documented well. The wedding really is the beginning of that family’s history because that generation typically has children and it goes on and on. It’s not a responsibility we take lightly and we’re given a great privilege as wedding photographers to be able to capture your special moments and capture your story.
