What to wear?

I had a conversation the other day with a new friend who is a wonderful photographer that also used to be a wedding planner.  We got to talking about what we wear to weddings and to be honest she shocked me with the story of a photog that showed up in blue jeans and a T-shirt for a wedding she was coordinating.  He said he had to be 'comfortable'.  Seriously?  

I remember when I first started out I attended a wedding of a friend and of course I was watching the photographer too!  Again, stunned by what she thought was appropriate for a elegant church wedding.  How about turquoise capri pants and a shirt with fringe, flip flops, big turquoise earrings and even a turquoise hair clip?   Um... well, you get the picture, right? 

So here's the 'required' uniform that we wear when we shoot. Black. Until they come out with something darker. :)

 

Thanks to Kasey, Jeremy and Melissa for being such fabulous photographers and awesome friends!!  Hope you don't mind the "behind the scenes" photographs! :)

Full service photographers!

I've seen some photographers advertise this, not sure what they mean exactly, but I do know what it means for us.  Most of the time you will always see us with our cameras, it's what we do, we don't want to miss a single shot!  But you might also find us helping the groom pin his boutonnière or delivering that special gift to his bride before the ceremony... and then there are other times when we put the cameras down completely.... just to be able to assist the bride with her dress!  Of course it helps that I was a bridal seamstress for many years and have dressed hundreds and hundreds of brides.  What can I say, when it comes to weddings, I love absolutely everything about them!   A big thanks to Melissa Wilson for catching these shots! :)
