I have always felt that it is important to carefully listen to what prospective clients are looking for in a wedding photographer. If our experience and pricing fits their needs and budget, then we can have a great conversation about how we can help them achieve their photography goals. In fact, the first question I often ask our future couple is: "What are the most important attributes you would love to have in your wedding photographer?" Quite honestly, some engaged couples answer this question by telling us that affordability and price is most important. Others focus more on our wedding photography style and our substantial SF Bay Area experience. The important thing is that we openly communicate to find out what is most important to our brides and grooms and then work together to provide it within their budget. We are here to help you with all of your Wedding Photography needs in the SF Bay Area and beyond.
