If you have been looking for a wedding photographer you have probably ready 378 "About Me" pages. This is not one of those pages. If you are looking for someone who loves traveling, coffee and puppies - I am not that girl. Don't get me wrong I love a good cup of black coffee while camping in the woods with my family and our dog; but I am here to talk photography and my strong belief in hiring professionals to document the most powerful moments of your life.
After 7 years of photographing weddings my whole perspective changed on the importance of hiring a professional - I became a mother.
You probably wouldn’t have guessed it but my birth story almost didn’t get photographed because of an early induction. The photographer I hired didn't plan on me going into labor early and she was unavailable.
You heard me - correctly. She was actually out of state when I was induced.
My soul wilts a little at the thought of how my early induction and stupidity of not hiring a professionally trained birth photographer almost bit me in the ass. When I honestly reflect on my decision it was because I didn't want to pay the large amount of money. Yes, I’m a photographer and I think just like normal humans do too. I mean having a baby isn’t cheap, and neither is a wedding!
My recent experience has reinforced by belief and importance of hiring an experienced and professional photographer. From the moment I spoke with a professional trained birth photographer, she talked me through everything that I needed to know and prepare for. Her insight put me at ease, because she knew exactly what was going to happen and how she would support me. I hired her on the spot. The night before my induction she told me, "Liz I will be there, all you need to do is be present."
As you consider your wedding photographer I hope you realize if you hire the correct photographer - your job is to just show up on your wedding day, and have the best damn day of your life.
During these powerful moments in life, you don’t have any second chances and there are no “do-overs.” Trust me I get it, hiring a photographer seems like a luxury item, but hiring an experienced photographer that knows how to support you during your day, and allow you just show up and be present, is worth all the money in the world.
