5 Reasons NOT to hire me

5 Reasons NOT to hire me

I don’t keep up on trends

I am not focused on keeping up with the current trends. I want to create timeless images that will look just as great 20 years from now as they do today. I think there are a lot of great Photographers that have a bright and airy style, that’s not me.

Every Client gets a wedding album

I put a big emphasis on wedding story books, it’s a big part of each of my packages. It changes how I photograph weddings, since I know I’m building a wedding story book I choose my shots specifically for the album. I know I need to tell a story on each page, so I think more like a film director than a photographer. Some couples don’t care that much about having a nice wedding album, they are okay with just viewing their wedding photos on a screen, I am not the right fit for those couples.


I’m not the cheapest photographer

I am priced for couples that highly value their wedding photos and don’t want to take a chance on their wedding photography. Or that don’t want to take a chance and possibly get boring, uninspired, or soulless images. The day after your wedding, the two things you are going to be left with is a new spouse, and your wedding photos to remember the wedding day by. There are plenty of photographers that are more budget friendly, and a lot of them do a great job. I want to provide the best experience I can for my couples. I want to be able to give each couple my full attention, I have a really quick turnaround time for my wedding images, you will only wait a couple of weeks, not months, for your gallery to be ready. And my goal is to provide the best wedding albums of Colorado. Some couples don’t prioritize a great experience, quick turnaround times, or heirloom quality wedding albums, and I’m not the right photographer for those couples. 

My personality

There are always going to people that just clash with my personality, and that’s okay. It’s important to like your photographer as a person, otherwise you are in for a rough wedding day spending hours close to someone you can’t stand. That’s why I require meeting with each potential client to make sure our personalities are a good fit before moving forward.


My core belief of marriage as a sacrament

It’s important that a couple and a photographer share similar views of marriage. If there is a mismatch of values, there is going to be a mismatch in priorities when it comes to what is important to photograph and how it is photographed. I believe marriage is a sacrament and should be photographed with reverence. The people that attend a wedding are there because they are the most important people to the couple and their experience should be respected as well as documented.
