Wedding: Photos of a Lifetime

One of the highest ticket items for our wedding was our photographer. Our photography package included our engagement shoot, about nine hours coverage for the day of the wedding, a CD containing high resolution images, as well as an online album for guests to view and order prints if they wished.

Photography can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. I looked at countless portfolios and the photographer I kept going back to was David Gene Photography of Campbell California. The photographer, David, was also the photographer for one of my grammar school friends and I absolutely loved her wedding pictures. I find his images are more than just snapshots of objects or people, they are artworks of life. The colors are vibrant, the lighting is perfectly used, the angles are thought out, and the emotion captured in the images can be felt. I couldn’t be happier with my engagement and wedding day photography.


After all the stresses of planning a wedding and the joys of experiencing the wedding day are all over, the only things that will remain are 'us' (me and Jabi) and our wedding photos. So, I wanted my photos to be something worth seeing for generations to come. It really is an investment and the key point for convincing Jabi why it’s acceptable to pay for quality photography.


After we decided to book David, I found that communication with David was smooth. He answered emails, questions and concerns in a timely manner. He was on time and prepared for our engagement and wedding shoot. Our bridal party enjoyed working with him and overall he made everyone involved comfortable in front of the camera.


Looking back, I can say that David was a pleasure to work with. He was not only our photographer, but he helped with coordination throughout the day that went above and beyond his duties. Also, I noticed that when you hire a skilled photographer, you aren’t only paying for great pictures, you are paying for knowledge. If a photographer knows what he is doing, he knows how to work the camera and work the people and objects to get those amazing and memorable shots.  


I wish there was a way of sharing my wedding album of 1,600+ images on this blog but it would be crazy! Below are a few of many shots that are my favorites!
