You know what I’m going to say, right?
This is your wedding – not some sort of small family event. You might have spent months thinking about every little – single solitary detail. Amateurs, friends and family is just not going to cut it. You are going to look back on your pictures – trust me. Red eye, bad angles, focus problems – will be noticed. Why even risk it?
Wedding pictures are extremely important. I have seen it first hand. There is nothing worse than a Bride who is sad over poor quality work. Weddings are one of those events that cannot be done over or replicated. Bad quality photography work can easily be avoided.
I can’t think of a more direct way to say it. Get a good quality photographer who will provide you with fantastic images. Pay for the photographer’s time. If you are prioritizing, I don’t think you necessarily need a huge professional album – get the time, the basic set of images or CD that they provide.
Pay for the photographer – you won’t regret it. Photography, prioritize at the top. Always.
Happy planning!

With a great sense of humor (a definite asset), Thomas uses his extensive background in documentary Photojournalism to create unique images. He excels at being able to let events unfold in front of him – capturing emotions and actions as they happen.
One of the reasons that I love Thomas, besides the fact that his fantastic photojounalistic images are second to none, is the fact that he puts everything out on the table. He will invite you to his office for the first meeting, where he will win you over with his fantastic style, and then offer an all-inclus
ive package that is top in the area. With his package, there is no second guessing. He lays everything out. It’s easy (and you know how much I love simple). The one thing he does do – is to go above and beyond to customize the package for you. If you do not want an inclusion – he is flexible and will work with you to meet all of your needs. He also offers a variety of albums – some of the best – to complete the all-inclusive package!
Thomas is an immense talent. When you look at his work – you feel the emotion. His love for weddings is apparent. His unique approach to weddings (first and foremost based on his extensive past experiences with the best journals in the country) make him my pick for “best of” 2009 in Photojournalism.
When you contact Thomas, Make sure to tell him you read about him here!

An expert with the details, Rachel’s style transcends time. Documentary in style, she tells her couple’s stories through definite defined images – all of them crisp clean, meaningful and taken with purpose. Her use of lighting and the natural surroundings is superb.
I don’t think I have seen anyone work like Rachel. She has a unique gift. She is quick and she has wedding hands (you can tell that she knows and loves wedding). Each and every wedding presents it’s challenges, and she meets those challenges in extraordinaire ways. What to see an example? Take a look at her most recent blog post. I don’t think there are many people who would travel to a weddi
ng, take “beyond belief” pictures – and be as positive as Rachel during a blizzard. You wouldn’t even know that she had to overcome insurmountable obstacles because each image is absolute perfection.
Amazing! I think that blog post says it all!
After the first of the year, I will share a set of amazing images that Rachel took. They are awe inspiring. Bravo!
It’s because of her amazing ability to go above and beyond for her clients, her love for weddings, and an uncanny ability to capture details in extraordinary ways – that I name her “best of” 2009 in Documentary Photography
When you contact Rachel, let her know that you read about her here.

An amazing photographer based in Northern Virginia, Dawn is the perfect choice for any wedding. Her style is a bit more traditional than the other photographers and she excels at what 
she does. Her images are crisp, clean, and tell the story of the day. As she moves unassuming through the crowed, you can tell that her photography is not a job, but a passion. She goes above and beyond for her clients, even if it means that she stays a bit longer to get the shot!
She is an extremely hard worker, and will do what she needs to do to make sure the client is happy (including going out into the rain). Her prices are affordable, allowing her to bring her art to a wide range of clientele – never sacrificing service and quality. Most importantly, she’s a helluva nice person.
It’s because of these qualities that I named her 2009 “best of photographer.

3 Adjectives that I would use to describe Natalie and Jamie – professional, dedicated, and fresh.
They will take your wedding and create a story – a real story as it was told on 
your wedding day. Documentary in style, you feel each and every emotion in each and every image.
Natalie and Jamie are absolutely fabulous to work with, move like ghosts amongst your guests, and create images that are unmatched by any other photographer in the area. They are always available to their clients and respond quickly to questions or concerns.
The awesome customer relations, their unmatched ability to create one of a kind images, their willingness to customize their services to meet their clients’ needs, and frankly – they are just two of the nicest people – makes them my pick for “best of” photographer 2009!

Guests: 150
. As guests looked on, they heard just the faint whispers of a trickle from a fountain that served as the backdrop to the ceremony. While guests were upstairs enjoying cocktails among millions of dollars of Italian artwork, we were downstairs transforming the center gallery from ceremony to reception. The large burgundy centerpieces containing ginger swept the high ceilings, and the finishing touches on the lighting were made. Guests came down a grand-staircase to enjoy a lavish 5 course meal, while sharing in a slide show that was put together by the Bride and Groom’s good friend. Instead of a wedding cake being the center of the room, the Bride and Groom opted to do away with the traditional and bring in the pies, peach and apple to be exact, made by the renowned chef who catered the event. The pies were a hit; the guests flocked to them in awe! Dancing closed this truly elegant event.
