Hire a Pro and you won’t be sorry.

Weddings are expensive, I understand. But there are a few things I like to point out when considering your Wedding Photographer. I have had 5 couples last year alone that decided that they would hire a less expensive photographer other than myself.  One couple hired a friend that does some incredible flower photography, another let there Uncle that took photography in high school do there’s, another hired a great portrait photographer shoot it and the other 2 found collage Photography students do there’s. Well in every case they emailed me back after they received there images and they all said the same thing in general, What a huge mistake that they did not go with Bel Inizio Photography. One said “I wouldn’t have bought my Wedding Dress to have you there Photographing our wedding”.  Others wrote “Honestly the Worst decision I have ever made”,  “I now see what you do is an art form and that not just anyone can do it. Shame on me for not seeing that”.  See hiring a Professional Wedding Photographer is the most important thing. What makes a Professional Wedding Photographer you ask? Well it just isn’t having a nice camera or the knowledge on how to shoot a good image. It is having the experience in Wedding Photography and doing it year in and year out that makes you a Pro. Capturing incredible images for people generations from now to see and say, WOW what an awesome wedding our grandparents had. This is the legacy I want in life. You may not know my name 100 years from now but what I have done to preserve your Wedding for people and family members to see generations from now is what makes me love what I do. I have been doing Weddings for over 8 years now and I have to say that for the last 3 years I can now call myself a Professional Wedding Photographer. I have earned my stripes. So bottom line,  don’t hire a person that is cheaper; hire a person that you will become lifetime friends with and make sure he or she has had many of these wedding experiences. In the end you will have incredible images that tell your story of this once in a life time Incredible day. Remember this is your only Wedding you will have, make it count. I wouldn’t want you emailing me back months after your Wedding wishing I Photographed your Wedding. I certainty hope this doesn’t come off as arrogant. I am just trying to let you know from past experiences what people have told me about hiring a so-called Professional Photographer. One Bride had told me, “There Portfolio had some nice shots in it, But there was nothing like that of my wedding”.  Just for them to find out the saying is true that even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
