Indianapolis Creative Weddings

Sharing a day with special friends
This was a very special wedding to Jim and me. We have known Carmen since she was in elementary school and it was so exciting to share in this special chapter of her life.

If you are interested in her vendors – because it was a lovely wedding. Gilberts was her florist, Oak Hill did the beautiful reception www.oakhillmansion.com and Classic Cakes created the beautiful cake www.classiccakescarmel.com, oh yeah – Wyant Photography captured the beautiful memories www.wyantphoto.com.

Sunday I went to the Art Table event at the Art Museum. It was really amazing to see how these designers could decorate a table. Three of my favorite designers were there; Kay Krober, Teddy Linderman and McNamara.  www.wyantphoto.com

Sometimes a wedding photographer can get very disappointed with the lack of time available to produce the works of art that they know the couple will treasure. All too often a tight agenda can end up a disappointment, especially if the couple concerned value their photography (and want a great album as well).

Here are some basic principles you need to keep in mind when developing your wedding plans and schedules for the day (if you value your wedding photography): (more…)

The key benefit to employing a professional wedding photographer is the experience that they have. The vast majority wedding photographers have experience working with many different people and problematic personalities.  They have faced deplorable weather conditions, and have run across numerous technical problems. Since they specialize in photography, they are well outfitted to manage various wedding sizes or photo demands. Unlike a friend or relative of the couple, a professional photographer’s essential goal is catching candid moments on film. Recognizing they are expected on delivering high-level photos that will be loved for numerous years to come, they are less apt to be carried away by aspects of the ceremony. With an event that allows no second chances, hiring a professional is a good investment that will help keep your memories of your special day around for years.

High quality wedding photography is an important ingredient in today’s wedding planning process. Indeed it is the one building block that provides the couple with a physical reminder of how wonderful their big day was. The difficulty, however, is what constitutes a high quality wedding photographer? If a couple does not know how to identify a high quality wedding photographer the chances are not good that they will happen upon one.

Indeed, the chances are good they will end up with average or even poor wedding pictures, giving them low value for their money. Even if a couple has the money to simply go out and hire the most expensive photographer around there is no guarantee that they will end up with the best possible wedding pictures, much less the best value for the money. Likewise, hiring the photographer that is booked many months in advance is no guarantee, though both price and popularity are indeed indicators that they might have the requisite skills to do the job that you want.
