Brides, Here Are Seven Reasons
Why Choosing Your Wedding Photographer Is Like Choosing Your Husbandby Bruce Barone
1. LOVE. Marriage is all about love. And in the same way you love your husband-to-be and would never settle for second best, or third best, you love your wedding photographer's images, beautiful and authentic photographs, not cookie-cutter images. Your photographer is someone like you, interested in something different. As Coco Channel said, "In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."
2. TRUST. You rely upon your loved one. You have faith in him. You feel trust. Mutual trust is a shared belief that you can depend on each other to achieve a common purpose, a beautiful marriage. Likewise, you trust your photographer. Your photographer listens well and you trust him. You understand as much as possible about each other, likes and dislikes; and you trust the photographer's creative vision....capturing each moment, exceeding your expectations.
3. KINDRED SPIRIT. Your loved one is someone like you. He accepts you. You can be yourself when you are together. He is your partner. Your friend. There are hundreds of men, but there is only one husband for you--your kindred spirit, your soul mate if you will. Likewise there are hundreds of photographers, but there is only one Bruce Barone, one kindred spirit. Drawing on a degree in art, a passion for telling stories and years working as a portrait and documentary photographer helps me bring a heightened sensitivity to my wedding photography--artful, real-life images that excite and inspire.
4. CHEMISTRY. Touch. Sight. Voice. Mystery. Whatever IT IS chemistry is so very important to the success of your marriage. And chemistry is important between you and your photographer. Your love inspires me to create great images. Your passion ignites my creative fire. And like a tender hug and kiss, quality is always more important than speed. Photography is my passion and my chemical equation is to make you and your loved one feel special.
5. CONFIDENCE. You have confidence that your loved one IS the right man. You have confidence that your loved one will always to do what needs to be done. And you have confidence that your photographer is the right photographer; a true professional, creating great images for you, distinctive photography with soul, images that will make your memorable wedding day moments more memorable.
6. DEVOTION. Declaring devotion is about what you do for each other and how you act toward each other. It is a virtue that every couple must have--devotion to each other resulting in happiness, gratification and pleasure. Likewise, your photographer is devoted to you; if your mother needs help with flowers and no one else is around to help her, your photographer jumps in and helps. Your photographer is charitable in spirit and displays compassion for others.
7. HUMOR. Your loved one is friends with your friends and family, treating them with love and respect. Laughter is good! Levity is good! When you are joyful, that joy radiates to all those around you. God honors you and your laughter. Likewise, you hire your photographer not just for shooting skills; you hire a cool person that can mix with your crowd, laughs with the children, talks with the family, knows how to make people smile, laugh, and just be themselves;. unpredictable, true, and spontaneous.
My approach to a wedding day is a day in the life. Couples select me as their wedding photographer because they are touched by my images and they share my vision. My nature is that of a romantic. I am inspired by not only the love of the couple, but the love of family, friends and children. My techniques used are those of a wedding photojournalist, but beyond photojournalism, there is art. I see myself as an artist and the wedding is the subject matter of my art. I also offer couples, family and friends archival museum quality prints and custom framing.
