WE CLICK WITH OUR CUSTOMERS

We love what we do! We never loose sight of how special each and every wedding is. So, we make a point of coordinating the photos with family customs and traditions. We instantly mesh and adapt with the flow of the wedding day and have often been asked by wedding guests if we are friends of the bride and groom.

WE ARE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS

Selecting the best photographer based upon your particular tastes will have the longest lasting impact on your wedding memories of any other pre-wedding decision you will make.

We can help secure those memories. Our photographers have photography college education so we incorporate not only the best technical camera skills, but also the "Art of Photography". And, we cover the “special moments” of the day as well as natural candid shots with two professional photographers. This combination provides natural looking, comfortable, and professional photographs. Choose our wedding photography with confidence.

it's important to put emphasis on the issue of talent, skill, technique or experience level. The time and labor of an expert photographer is more valuable on a per-hour basis than that of a raw beginner. These important points will reflect in both the asthetic and technical quality of your wedding images and need to be carefully considered.

An influential factor in the cost of wedding photography is the type of equipment the photographer uses. Simple techniques require only simple, low-cost equipment. I had a photography teacher that use to say, "Trash in trash out". This referred to using low budget equipment and improper techniques. But sophisticated photo techniques require elaborate equipment - and more of it. A photographer who uses a $3,000 camera will likely charge more than one who uses a $300 consumer grade camera. At Fotos by Foster we use only high-end professional photography equipment.

We use multiple flash units firing in synchronization to give the resulting photos the illusion of depth and dimension. This extra step alone makes a tremendous difference in the visual appeal of photographic images. Specialized lighting techniques require advanced levels of skill.

WE KNOW WEDDINGS

We do this for a living and have perfected our wedding day workflow. We approach each and every wedding with a uniquely planned schedule tailored to capture your day. This allows the bride, groom, wedding party and families to maximize their time to enjoy the "once in a lifetime" celebration while we get all the right shots.

AMAZING DESIGN SKILLS

Photographic composition, style, creativity, quality of light, improvisation and timing elevate our photography to a higher standard. Our strategy is "Picture to Story". This refers to taking the shots that tell a story for an album spread and ulimately the entire wedding album. From the first click of our camera to the first time you open your wedding album, art and design are our motivation for excellence. See a completed wedding album here.

STEPS IN CHOOSING A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

1. Look for a photographer that you truly like their particular style of photography. There are a wide range of styles available for you to choose from. The two most popular styles are currently 'Traditional' and 'Photojournal' / 'Contemporary'. Traditional is all about doing perfectly staged poses with very few or no candids. Photojournal or Contemporary is more about capturing undirected, spontaneous emotion and expression to tell the story as it happens with little or no direct photographer involvement. A note to look for: Just because someone says their style is photojournalistic doesn't necessarily make it so. There IS a difference between candid snapshots and true photojournalistic images. Just because a photographer takes a few images in black and white doesn't automatically make them a photojournalist. Look for someone that specializes in and has extensive experience in your favorite style. A few studios, like The Perfect Image, offer a proportionate blend of both. Look for a photographer that evokes an emotional response from you with their images. If they can do that with the photos from a strangers wedding, just think what they can do for yours! View sample photos with your heart as well as with your eyes.

2. Look for a photographer that you really "click" with personality wise. Other than your bride or groom, there is nobody you spend more time with on your wedding day than the photographer. Make sure it's someone you can have fun with and truly enjoy working with throughout your special day. It should go without saying that you actually need to MEET with this person so don't contract with a studio until you know exactly who you will be spending your day with. Contrary to what many photographers may think, photography should NOT be the most important part of your day. However, having a great time and experiencing all the love and emotion of that day IS. Don't spend it with someone you really don't care for just because they are cheap!

3. Last but not least, of those that meet the above two requirements, then and only then shop for price and package options. Set an approximate budget for how much you want to invest in your wedding photography but don't be afraid to go slightly over or under if you find the perfect photographer for your specific tastes.
Planning your wedding and choosing all the best vendors can be both challenging and exciting. A unique situation for most couples. Hopefully this has helped shed some light for you on the field of wedding photography and will help you sort out the range of prices available.
Selecting the best photographer based upon your particular tastes will have the longest lasting impact on your wedding memories of any other pre-wedding decision you will make. We hope these suggestions will help you in making that difficult choice.
