Your Wedding Day<\/h1>\n

Congratulations you’re engaged! What’s next? Everything. There seriously is everything. And while I can talk about everything, I’m going to stick to what I know best, wedding photography. Most importantly, how to pick your wedding photographer.<\/p>\n

At one point or another, you or someone close to you has needed a professional photographer. If that’s the case, you’ll find that Greater Philadelphia is saturated with photographers. If you look a little deeper, you’ll see there are different costs, editing styles and wedding collections available. This probably makes the decision-making process even more difficult. My main goal of this blog is to help you look past the cost and highlight reel photos and take you behind the scenes and what it takes to be a wedding photographer and why you should choose the best one for you.<\/p>\n

What car would you chose?<\/h2>\n

Picking a wedding photographer is like picking a car. On one end of the spectrum you have a Kia, on the other end you have Rolls Royce. They both get you from point A to point B. One will get you there economically, one gets you there in style. One is cookie cuter, one is a more exclusive. Both are the right choice for the right client. You just have to figure out what client you are and what car you want to drive. For the record, I’m neither a Kia nor a Rolls Royce. I’m more of a fully-loaded mid-range manufacturer…with the upgraded rims. Gotta have nice rims.<\/p>\n

My Fully Loaded Features<\/h2>\n

What goes into a wedding photographer determining which hypothetical \u00a0car manufacturer they are? A lot actually. Let me explain why I consider myself a fully-loaded mid-range. I specialize in one thing…engagement and wedding photography. Ok those are two things wrapped into one. I invest in continued education in the wedding industry through workshops, which train the mind to be more creative. Reading books written by industry leaders helps deliver the best product and experience possible. Buying the best equipment capable of twelve frames per second and shooting in dark conditions allows me to capture those fleeting moments you’ll want to look back on.<\/p>\n

In 2009 I registered James Webb Photography with the state of New Jersey and since then, have shot over 100 weddings as both a primary and second shooter. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about this business is\u00a0to\u00a0expect the unexpected and roll with it. A wedding day is a living thing.\u00a0Despite all of your planning, it breaths and does what it wants. My goal is to adapt, change and roll with the day. I capture it as it happens. I follow the laughter, shoot through the\u00a0activity\u00a0and deliver your day in the most creative way I can.<\/p>\n
