If you happen to be one of the people I've spoken to about the upcoming wedding site this year, I just wanted to explain why I'll soon be removing the link to the wedding site on my splash page. Paul and I have decided, at least for the time being, to make the wedding gallery a part of my site.
When Paul and I first sat down with our plan to photograph weddings together, we both agreed that we both wanted to shoot no more than 4 or 6 a year. Our first wedding confirmed our suspicion that each job would be a huge time commitment, especially because we both really care about the final product we're delivering to our clients. The truth is, that once we leave a wedding, we each put hours into editing, from color correcting, to exposure correcting, to retouching and enhancing, black and white conversions, and finally applying effects to about 10% of our favorites.
Since our first wedding job, Paul has expanded his editing business to an effects and portraiture business as well. With all that and a full time day job, understandably he wants to stick to the original game plan.
I, however, have decided to expand my wedding business. I have shot a couple weddings alone, and the bride, groom, and I were all extremely happy with the results. I figured I can offer my services at a lower rate than with two shooters, and that might look pretty nice to couples getting married during these hard economical times. Of course I won't be able to be in two spots at once, but I fully intend to enlist the help of a knowledgeable assistant!
Paul and I are still moving forward with shooting weddings together whenever anyone is looking for complete coverage of their special day; but from here on out I'll be your contact person, and mine is the go-to site for the wedding gallery.
I'll be spending the next couple weeks getting the gallery up on my existing site. My goal is to have it posted by the end of March. Please contact me for the updated price list and other details!
