Weddings should be Fun ! | Leave it to the Professionals | Catskills Wedding Photographer

The act of getting married  means many things.  Love, commitment, change and a start of a whole new life.  Wedding are complex events.  There is much to do and the feeling that everything must be perfect .  Perfection should also mean fun and the absence of anxiety. Fun needs to be right up there on the priority list.  1 year of planning and stressing out can be avoided.  Hire professionals with a good track record and that will solve most of your problems.  Weddings are not an event to take chances.  I feel as a wedding photographer with more than 20 years of experience that all you have left after the wedding is a collection of beautiful professional photographs.  You can look make and relive one of the most important days of your life.  Sure it is tempting to hire a semi pro photographer at low prices.  But hiring a weekend warrior is like riding on a plane with no landing gear.
