How to Have the Most Magical, Romantic, and
Emotional Wedding Day of Your Dreams

7 Secrets Revealed:

What Other Wedding Photographers Don’t Want You To Know!

Secret 1: How To Guarantee Your Wedding Lives Up To Your Dreams

Believe it or not, the photographer you select to photograph your wedding can make or break your wedding day. Yes, I kid you not, your wedding day - not just your photographs! Why? Because he’s THERE - with you and your family, in person - interacting with all your family and guests - and representing you every minute.

Now, HONESTLY, we’re not just talking about photography here - we’re talking about YOUR WEDDING - how YOU FEEL on your wedding day, and how smoothly and romantically everything goes. You see, your photographer determines this, by the way he helps you plan your wedding, the way he treats you and your loved ones, and the way he conducts himself throughout the day.

Amazing Secret Revealed:

So here’s the secret: Meet the photographer - IN PERSON - before you hire anyone to photograph your wedding! Most brides don’t realize that many studios hire part time photographers to photograph their weddings for them - high school and college kids, friends, relatives, etc. This means that you go to a studio, talk with a salesperson, look at their samples, and make a decision - without really knowing who will be photographing your wedding!

And if it’s not just the right person doing the photography, and interacting with all your family and guests, everything can be ruined!

So, when you’re talking with a potential studio, ask them the following questions:

  1. Who did these photographs you are showing me?
  2. Who, by name, will be photographing our wedding if we hire your studio?
  3. We want to MEET this person, BEFORE we hire your studio.

“Thanks, Monte. The pictures really are amazing. My family and friends can’t believe how wonderful they are.

Monte finds a way to be everywhere at once with no one even noticing him. His pictures were superior and my family and Scott and I are having a terrible time choosing from such an enormous selection of beautiful pictures. Monte is exactly the photographer that a busy bride needs! She can book him and forget about the rest because he knows his stuff! You have been the perfect professional. I recommend you to everyone.”

Then, when you meet this person, ask him or her the following questions:

  1. How will you dress at my wedding?
  2. Did you do ALL the samples of wedding photography we saw in the sample books?
  3. If not, show us YOUR work, please. How long have you been photographing weddings?
  4. How long will you be at my wedding?
  5. Before you leave our wedding, who do you check with first to see if there’s anything else we would like you to do?

Finally, decide if you REALLY LIKE THE PHOTOGRAPHER, as well as his or her work, because this person is going to be spending a lot of time with you and your family and friends, on your important day!

By the way, just so you know, here are my answers to those questions:

I’m the ONLY photographer at my studio. I will be photographing your wedding personally. I will dress in a nice jacket and tie. (Not a tux, and not just slacks and a shirt! I don’t want to take anything away from your groom and groomsmen and the fathers, and I also don’t want to dress casually, and not represent you professionally.)

I photographed my first wedding in 1975 when working for Lisle Ramsey Studios in Kansas City, Missouri. Wedding photography has changed since then, but there’s no substitute for the experience.

I’ll be at your wedding until you, your husband (how exciting - your “husband!”), your parents, and your husband’s
parents all say they have nothing else for me to do. I NEVER will leave your wedding without checking with you!
