What makes the perfect wedding photographer?

I think that’s a question a lot of brides would like to know, personality, experience, professionalism, passion, peace of mind the list can go all but really what it comes down to is you. It’s your day and your expectations could be and probably will be a lot different then anyone else’s, I personal find a lot when sitting down with brides and grooms a lot of time they don’t know what their looking for so they base their decisions on nothing but price. But when I ask them what’s important to them and what their expectations are when it comes to their wedding photography they start to see what a mistake price and only price can be when picking a photographer. Believe me I wouldn’t want to shop for any service out their especially photography because that is the one thing and only thing that is a historic recording of your wedding day to not relive for yourselves but your children and their children, when I sit down with a couple its about asking them what’s important to them and only them and what expectations do they have and from there its about making the photography about the day and not the other way around.
