Making the Most of Your Wedding Photography Part 1: The Art of the Deal

So you've found the perfect wedding photographer (after all, you're on this website), but is it at the perfect price?

The bill for the average wedding in New England comes out around $24,000. From the invitations to the venue, all of the thousand little pieces that make up your special day can really add up and you want to make sure that you get the most out of every dollar. Wedding photography, which can be one of the largest line items on a wedding's budget, is one area where brides try to scrimp and save.

Over the years brides have approached us from a lot of different angles, some have been efective others have been a little insulting. We think that you'll love our packages and our prices without the hassle of haggleing but if you want to ask about special pricing then you might want to follow these guidelines.

Portraits in the Fall: Krista and Dan

It's always thrilling when people you know are getting married, you feel much more free to butt into things and make suggestions for centerpieces (or is that all just me?). Krista and Dan were engaged during a trip to Turkey, and told me their plans during another friend's wedding over the summer (though with the ring Krista was suddenly sporting, you didn't have to be Hercules Poirot to deduce the big news). A few short months later we got together at Bird Park in Walpole, MA for their engagement session.

It was a chance to get loose, chase away some geese and crunch through the leaves. The park rambles around, with open fields and forest paths, and we took advantage of as much as we could on that gorgeous autumn day. As per usual I was bold and daring to get the right shots, braving hordes of geese, sticky mud and precarious perches for the couple. Of course, they were game too and a lot of fun to work with.

Kirsta and Dan plan to marry next August in Spencer, MA.

Love in Somerville: Liza and Seneca

In spite of October's advance, the brilliant colors of Fall had only just started to show in the leaves around Somerville, MA. It was early in the morning and a chill was in the air as we staked out Nathan Tufts Park off of Broadway. Birches peeked out from the rest of the trees here and there and as we climbed the stone steps leading toward the old powder house, a few dogs and their owners were just leaving.
