Andrew Clark stresses that you should budget 10-15% of your overall wedding cost for photography, prints and albums and to check photographer’s references very thoroughly; experience counts enormously.
ALL DIGITAL PHOTO AND VIDEO – by Cal Cheney – alldigitalphotoandvideo@yahoo.com
What Sets All Digital Photo and Video apart?
Our motto is “Pictures with personality from people with personality.” They pride themselves on being fun, fast and photojournalistic. Having the ability to both photo and video is great too.
Favorite wedding to date:
Cal’s favorite wedding was a couple from Venezuela. They both cried during the ceremony and the reception was like Mardi Gras with congo lines, props, great dancing and All Digital’s photo booth.
Consultation process:
All Digital meets with the couple at the time of the booking and then talk again 10 days ahead of the big day.
Advice for brides when selecting a photographer:
All Digital stresses that you should demand to own the images on disc so there or no copyright issues. They also recommend having two photographers so one can be with the girls getting ready while one is with the guys.
Current Promotions:
All Digital is currently offering one free a la carte with bookings at Spruce Mountain, which could include a free engagement session, a boudoir session or an extra hour of coverage.
GASTON PHOTOGRAPHY – by David Gaston – info@gastonphotography.com
What Sets Gaston Photography apart? 
David Gaston has 16 years of photography experience and prides himself on being able to create beautiful photos straight out of the camera, no photoshop necessary.
Favorite wedding to date:
When David was asked what his favorite wedding to date has been he described Derek and Kate’s wedding. It wasn’t their budget or location, but they really wanted to have fun and they trusted in David’s ability to create amazing images that expressed who they are. David explained that Derek REALLY didn’t like having his picture taken (more than the average guy). Once the wedding day started Derek really got into it and was making suggestions on how he wanted his picture taken! To top it all off, the groom told David “you changed my mind about having my picture taken, thank you” was an honor he will never forget.
Consultation Process:
We schedule a time to get together at our in-house studio or at a location more convenient to the couple we’re meeting. During the appointment it’s really all about client, their style and trying to give them an opportunity to get a sense of who David is.
Advice for brides when selecting a photographer:
Gaston always tell couples to ask themselves three questions:
1. Do you like the photographer, as a person, as well as their personality? With my style, trust and personality is essential in the image creating process.
2. Do you like what you see? Photographers often show their best or favorite work. I do the same, but, we also make ALL of our work available for viewing via our website
3. Do they fit your budget? It’s tough affording all that you want. With Gaston’s customization of all our wedding packages, they meet most budgets. 
David often says, “Go with your gut feeling; if you have any hesitation, move on, there is something perfect for you out there”. That applies to everything, not just photographers.
Current Promotions:
Teachers, Fire/Rescue, Law enforcement and Military couples receive 10% off packages plus they pay your tax!
JENSEN SUTTA PHOTOGRAPHY – by Jensen Sutta – info@jensensutta.com
What sets Jensen Sutta apart from competitors?
Personality, Jensen loves his job and it shows!
Describe your favorite wedding to date. What made it stand out?
Jensen has been very lucky to photograph international destination weddings. He explained that his first thought was to pick the most exotic wedding…however, he realized that his favorite weddings are the ones with the best clients! The location is secondary to great personalities, and a wonderful happy couple in love!
What is your consultation process?
Jensen answered this question simply by saying “I meet them, I love them, they love me, they give me money and I capture moments throughout a wonderful day!”
Do you have any advice for brides when selecting a photographer?
Almost every photographer can take a great picture, it’s more important when meeting with them that you like them as a person. It’s a very long and emotional day so it’s important to like the photographer that is going to be nearby the entire day!
