Last week the Taylor Photos photographed a new little lady to the world. Here are a few pictures of the 100 plus we had taken. All the pictures were taken by natural light only. Enjoy.
I had a bride and a groom come in last month. She was crying. I asked what happened. She told me that she had a friend photographed her wedding. A graduate from film school. “ A Newbe or budget photographer”. She had spent over $35,000 for her day and her only memories were fuzzy, distorted and not to mention dark, and no life to any of her 500 pictures. She was losing hope. After approaching 4 other photographers for help and all said no, she needed a Yes. The bride told me she wished she had done more research before hiring. In desperation she asked if I could fix the devastation.
I need a second for this one. Here was the dilemma, garbage in and make something beautiful out.
After 2 hours, I told her I can do an album for her and fix the pictures the best I can. She agreed and we came to a fair price for all.
We retook brand new pictures of her and her husband last week. She had to get her dress cleaned and new flowers made, plus makeup and hair. The groom rented a tux. Now here is something extra I did, at No charge for the photo shoot. Now as you figured out I could not turn back time, but I could give a new perspective to the day.
To conclude, my new client now has 2 albums. One of the actual day and the other of what she really wanted. I bet I get referrals form this… or at least a new friend.

Planning an event
Most people never think out this. How do you plan your event and let the photographer capture the most out of your event.
Photographers will always tell you the power of 2 hours. Meaning for a quality top job and a enjoyable day for both you, and your photographer you should leave 2 hours per segment for pictures.
Examples of a perfectly day.
Weddings
The best pictures to capture your day Layout.
Start of day.
Pictures 2 hours at brides house. Off to place of ceremony.
Ceremony (each event is different in time here).
After ceremony pictures 2 hours at different locations with bridal party. Photographer will be taking intimate pictures with both bride and groom.
Off to reception hall. By allowing this break both bride and groom can enjoy there party.
During the party family pictures are normality taken during a salad. Extended family pictures may be taken then. This period of time is the most stressful on both brides & Grooms due to the complexity of some families. I found out by good communications, from brides & Grooms to their families, this portion of time can go flawlessly, and pictures will take no time at all.
The rest of the party your photographer will be taking candid’s, small group pictures, and some table pictures.
Normally the last hour of your party is cake cutting. Since it is done in the same room, all pictures will be taken there.
All I hear after the job by couples, following our suggested venue is, thank you and I love my pictures. The day was perfect.
Case #2
NO TIME, please help me. We left only 1 hour between church and reception hall. In actually only 30 min’s. and I want it all. No time for pictures, can you make magic.
Yes we can. Best way to plan this. 50% – 70% of your pictures are done before the ceremony.
Example.
Start of day.
Pictures 1-2 hours at brides house. Off to a special place “park, hotel, and or catering hall.” Pictures 2 hours at this location. Bride and Groom see each other for the first time. Picture segment documents this moment in time. Then the photographer my take bridal pictures or start with the Bride & Groom.
Now off to catering hall.
Same senareal from there. During the party family pictures are normality taken during a salad.
Remember this is what we call a perfect day lay out.
You don’t have to follow this letter to a T. remember its your day and it can be done your way. By changing the suggested venue you should leave appropriate time for pictures. We always say it should only take 5 minutes. In perfect world you are right, but I have never seen it in 20 years.
Wedding are fun and exciting. Planning out a perfect day is not easy, but with proper planning and organization your day can be what you imagined. Everlasting and memorable in pictures, and a day that will last a life time.
If you need help, please call Taylor Photos. We’ll be glad to help in any manner. Remember we are a team, and to perform at our best, we work together. That’s why you hire a professional photographer.
