Sharing the Love with my bride, Dara, and Smashing the Glass Wedding Blog!

Smashing The Glass just shared their awesome blog with me and the article one of my brides, Dara, wrote on selecting her wedding vendors…..it’s so cool to see the inside scoop on why they picked me to photograph their December wedding at Tubac Golf Resort!

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

“I drove myself a bit bonkers with selecting a photographer. The photos are the only tangible item you’ll have from your wedding day, and this is the number one most important vendor for me. I wanted to look at practically every photographer in the Southern Arizona area, not just the five on Tubac’s list. So, I created a spreadsheet with nearly 50 local photographers, read a thousand reviews, looked at online gallery after online gallery after online gallery, and of course, pricing packages.

From there, I ranked everyone in order from best quality pictures, pricing, responsiveness to my inquiry, etc. I then had five phone interviews, negotiated some prices, and then fell in love with one in particular. After I spoke with Lori on the phone, I knew she had the type of personality that would work best. After all, your photographer is the person you’re going to spend the most time with that day, you want to hire someone you gel with. And, her photos are to die for. I knew I had to have her. She was a bit above my budget, and what I ideally wanted to spend, but I know she’ll be worth every penny.”
