Photo Shoot Sneak Peek

On Tuesday night we did a special photo shoot with our new preferred photographer Vanderbeek Images. Tyler was a blast to shoot with, and even though the weather was a little crazy, you would never know it from these gorgeous pictures! Laura from Vanderbeek Images has edited the pictures in record time. We have really enjoyed working with Tyler and Laura and hope that many of you will too! To schedule a shoot with them, please call 435.245.3436; Make sure to tell them that you heard about them through The Canterbury Place to receive a free gift!
My little sister and her new husband were our beautiful models. We took these pictures to promote our annual bridal show which will be held January 16, 2010. Keep checking back for more details because it will be an event you won't want to miss!

If you are interested in having your bridals or groomals at The Canterbury Place the price is only $35.00 during available business hours. Unless, of course you have an event booked with us, than it is free.

Tips on Finding the Perfect Photographer

Your wedding day is the most documented day of your life so it is very important to choose the right photographer to capture your special moments. In most cases, it can be very worth it to make your photographer a budget priority but it is crucial to ask the right questions and do your research so you know that you will get what you pay for! Here are some important things to consider before choosing your photographer….

#1 Experience level
Has this person photographed many weddings? Does he/she do this as a profession or as a hobby? Have they shot at your wedding location before?

#2 Photographic Style
Does the style of your photographer reflect you and your personality? Is your style formal/traditional, classic, candid, or photojournalistic? Check out many photographers websites and blogs to see what style you like.

#3 Personality
Meet potential photographers in person before you book them to see:

Is the photographer someone you can get along with? Is this the photographer who will be actually be at your wedding or will they send who ever is available (don’t be shocked, this happens a lot!)? Do they work well with other vendors? Do they seem like the kind of person that you will direct you well and make your day easy and enjoyable?

#4 Contracts & Delivery
Whether it’s a la carte or a package, do you understand what you are getting? How much time will he/she spend with you? What if you need more time? Do you understand the contract? Do you get to keep negatives and how long does it take to get proofs back, etc? Make sure that you know what’s coming!

Remember, the photographer is a big part of your special day and the way you remember it. Finding the right photographer should be a key aspect of your wedding planning.

Hopefully these tips are a good start so you can find the perfect photographer who will make your wedding day truly unforgettable!
