When planning your wedding day, what are you priorities? Is it about enjoying the moment or a balance of enjoying the moment and remembering the memories for a lifetime?

At S2 Images Photography, we have been thinking about general wedding supplier prices. It is quite common for a venue to be the highest cost with wedding planning. However, lately we have been noticing that many brides have been spending more on their wedding dress, or even wedding make-up, than their wedding photographer. In reality, you wear your wedding dress once, physical photographs can last a lifetime and beyond.

Another issue is that many people want a digital package. You never know how technology will adapt over the years. Realistically, do you ever look back at files on a floppy disk? Do you even have a computer that takes a floppy disk? We offer digital packages to clients who are on a budget. This is so that they have the option to purchase an album later, when other wedding costs are out of the way. However, we highly recommend taking advantage of our wedding album services. We have spent a lot of time researching, to provide the best wedding albums that we can possibly offer. Imagery that will truly stand the test of time and will not be subject to limitations of technology.

We know from our own wedding experience, and seeing other couples walk down the aisle, that it is important to put aside a budget for a wedding photographer. Quite often people get caught up in a cheaper price, not thinking about the importance of capturing the memories. In many cases, a cheaper wedding photographer will not have the expertise or the professionalism as a more experienced photographer.

At S2 Images wedding photography, we have over 18 years photographic experience between us. Being husband and wife, we work together better than any partners in a business. You don’t just get one photographer, you get two. You get two different viewpoints capturing your day, as well as two expert styles that compliment each other when combined. You can also be rest assured that we have a variety of insurances in place to ensure that your day is handled in the most professional way possible.

It is crucial to find a wedding photographer that you like, personality wise. As a photographer will be alongside you during the most crucial moments of such a special day. This is one of the most important moments of your life. The wedding photographer will b alongside you during the nerves, the excitement, the laughter and even the tears. They will most certainly be with you more than any other wedding vendor. It is important to hire someone that you ultimately feel comfortable being around. You need to have confidence that you’ve hired a wedding photographer with a style that you like, so make sure to view lots of their previous work.

At S2 Images photography, we do not take being a wedding photographer lightly. It is a great responsibility. However, we genuinely love what we do. As a couple ourselves, we thrive photographing a wedding more than any other genre of photography. We have been in your shoes, so we understand how you are feeling on your day. We also understand how important your wedding photographs are to you. We will do everything we can to ensure that we create imagery and memories that you will want to show off to your family and friends.
