Choosing the right photographer is always a very difficult task. There are so many options out there, which one is the best for you? Here are some very useful considerations from our friend and talented Denver photographer, Selah.

“Have you ever walked in to a home and noticed that 16 x 20 on the wall which highlights the most significant day of the couples’ lives? You know, the one featuring big bangs, white suits, mustaches and long white puffy sleeves? Everyone who sees it is slightly embarrassed for them. Years goes by and the epic photograph full of significance slowly creeps its way into the back corner of the guest bedroom.

Are you an artistic trend-seeker yet aware of the dating effects of spot color, fish eye lenses and over-saturation? As time goes by one of two things can happen: The Persian kiss-like images only increase in value and the quality and intent behind the imagery allows for the photograph to remind you of the goodness of time. On the other spectrum, the trendy spot-colored cookie-cutter creativity is one that quickly dates. The modern becomes old and the fresh becomes disingenuous. How do you define the difference?

Fine art wedding photography is a fairly elite and unique service within the wedding photography industry. It can be defined as the kind of art you would hang on your wall even if you aren’t the bride and the groom. It reflects reality, something we can connect to while holding hands with dynamic and high-quality imagery. “I never would have seen that,” you may think upon observing that photograph.

When investing in your wedding photographer–look for an artist. Someone whose perception and vision is committed to creating a meaningful heirloom, rather than a picture showing what you looked like on that day. Search for that photographer who has the ability to create artwork that increases in value over time rather than causing you to close the drawer on your visual memories.”

So…the trick is picking a photographer whose shots will become pieces of art!!! Start searching..
