Other Moments Your Wedding Photographer Can Capture (Besides the Wedding)

Finding the right vendor for you can be tough, especially the right photographer. After all, they’re capturing the most important day of your life! It’s crucial to ask the right questions so you have all the information you need before making a decision. Here’s a few things I think you should ask before making things official.
Karen & Mike | A National Aviary Wedding
Karen & Mike had a gorgeous day for their wedding. Bright sunflowers livened up the outdoor tent, and a penguin even made an appearance to celebrate the day!
Their first look was held next to their venue at Allegheny Commons Park. Then we drove down to the North Shore on a vintage bus to take pictures along the North Shore.
Jenn & Brad | A Barn at Soergel Hollow Wedding
Jenn & Brad are the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Their wedding exemplified that, full of adorable rustic decor, bright sunflowers, and plenty of entertainment for guests. They had a field for lawn games, giant Jenga, and even a bonfire at the end of the night (yes, with s'mores!).
Tracy & Eddie | A Hotel Monaco Wedding
Tracy & Eddie had a small, intimate ceremony with just close friends and family on the rooftop of Hotel Monaco. To kick off the day I photographed a bit of getting ready, followed by an emotional first look between them. Then we explored the hotel and the city for some great portraits.

There’s no right or wrong choice, but if you’re on the fence, here are a few pros and cons to having one.
