Documenting special Moments : Why hiring a professional to capture those once in a lifetime memories is worth it.

You’ve spent months planning for this moment. 

Hold my Hand Forever - Couples Photo Session - Minneapolis

From sending out invitations to picking out the perfect cake. You’ve booked your venue and now, it’s time to pick a photographer to record your special day, and instead of hiring a photographer, you let your uncle George ( who loves to take pictures ) talk you into taking photos on your special day.

A week later, you see the photos and your heart is crestfallen. 

All of the images are to dark or to light, everyone’s heads are cut off ( and not on purpose ), and there’s to much clutter in the foreground and background of each photo taking away from your and your partners special day. 

The images do not turn out like you envisioned when you started looking for photographers online and now, it’s too late. 

Now, you love uncle George ( nothing against him ) and you don’t want to hurt his feelings but now, your special day is over and you can’t get those moments back. 

But, you want at least some of the moments so now, you’re paying someone to edit the photos to try and save at least one image from that day. 

And maybe you do end up with one image that works out but, you don’t have those candid moments or those moments that made your heart flutter as the day unfolded.

Listen to me!

Save yourself the stress and disappointment of receiving images that you’ll regret later. 

It’s heart breaking to me to hear stories like this and I hope this has never happened to you and I also hope it NEVER happens to you. But sadly, this does happen and I always feel so bad when I hear this happen to someone like you because it’s an experience you can’t re-do. 

When it comes to recording moments that you really want to cherish forever, you should really hire a professional to do it for you.

You’ll feel so much better and relieved to know that you can sit back and enjoy your special occasion ( whether it’s a wedding, engagement session, anniversary, a holiday session or a cute fall or spring couples photo session with just you and your snookums ) knowing that this moment is being captured by someone who loves what they do and create your memory just the way you imagined it ( casual, fun, laid back, stress free, and natural with a lifestyle feel ) is priceless.

Even though I’m no longer photographing weddings

That doesn’t mean that I can’t capture those special moments of joy, love, fun and laughter for you and your spouse or partner!

( I had some wonderful experiences with my wedding couples and I’m grateful for them allowing me to capture their special day ).

These image remind me why I love to create stories for beautiful souls like you, capturing those moments that will make you smile, laugh, and maybe even cry tears of joy knowing that no matter what’s going on in your life, you will always have this moment capturing your story.
