Photographers.

Can anyone help me with this? I have found a couple that we are looking at right now. But we will have to choose one before he comes home from this deployment. And Im not sure how to lol. I really like this one place, but I am afraid that once I purchase it I will not.

Would anyone like to give their opinion on this photographers site?

They look like they do a decent job. Professional. Who are you comparing them to?

http://www.bellapictures.com I believe its the bigger 'division' of them. I found Studio Blue through them I believe. They cost more..

Okay, after looking some more, it's not the same photographer who does all of those weddings, correct? Some of the pics are really good. Well, most of them are at least acceptable for a professional. However, looking at the posed pictures, some of the weddings are for sure better shot than others. Just my 2 cents!

Nope, they have different photographers. You take a quiz of 20 pictures to see what your style is. And they match you with one who would suit what you are looking for.

Oh ok. That is cool that they do that quiz!!! I had a feeling it wasn't the same photographer taking them all...LOL! My concern with both sites is that it seemed like they picked the photographer for you.

I am super critical of photographs, though. Photographers tend to see something wrong with a picture that most people wouldn't ever see! I believe you would be happy with either company! All of the pics are professional, except for the blurry ones.

Question, have you looked at local studios? Do you mind sharing where the wedding is at and I will peek around Google? LOL

[AlissaNicole]

Sure lol. Its going to be in Jeannette..reception in Irwin or Greensburg. Pennsylvania of course haha.

We just decided we were setting a date almost 2 weeks ago lol. So now were all over planning it in time.

Btw thank you.

Just a couple...Not that much better than the links you posted:

Just do a google search in your area. there are 50 million photography websites!!!

Some tips:
1) Photographers post their best photos on the website. If more than a couple of the photos are not good, skip them.
2) The posed 'candid' photos should look candid. You will find that some of the look very posed!
3) Look for creativity! I personally like the fun pics vs the same 'ol poses. Of course, you still want some traditional poses
4) Look for someone who captures the details....flowers, glasses, little moments of kids holding hands...........etc
5) Flash control. Some flash in darker areas is necessary. You don't want to photos to look like they were taken with a pocket digital camera, though.


Good luck!
