Wedding Photography

Remember to capture your Engagement with a special photo session!  Just the two of you, in a setting with special meaning, as you happily look forward to your Wedding Day. The months of planning will fly by, but these photos will forever show you and your fiancé during this very special time.

Be sure to use your Engagement photos during your rehearsal and your reception.  Consider a photo album as your guest book, using a variety of shots from your professional Engagement photo session. You might also include photos taken as you were dating and from your growing-up years!  It’s very personal and fun for your guests!

North Georgia Mountains Wedding

Take your Wedding party on the road! Look into the possibilities of a mini-destination Wedding celebration when you select a venue that offers accommodations, attractions, ceremony site and reception options all in one location!

One popular destination is the North Georgia mountains, from Blue Ridge through Helen to Clayton and beyond, the beauty of the area provides a natural, beautiful backdrop for your Wedding.

Splendor Mountain in Tiger, Georgia is such a place. www.splendormountain.com Located down a winding tree-lined drive, you’ll find waterfalls, multiple gathering locations (an outdoor Pavilion, a luxurious Lodge equipped with a professional kitchen, comfortable cabins) and gardens overlooking mountain after mountain after mountain!

Say OK to the Dress

You’ve gathered your mother, your bridesmaids and your favorite friends to go with you to try on wedding dresses.  You’ve got the photos from the magazines and yet……

THE dress isn’t screaming out to you.  It’s OK, really.  Contrary to what you may have heard, not necessarily everyone has that “aha” moment when trying on wedding dresses.  It happens – or doesn’t happen in this case.  It’s all normal and it’s all OK.

As a Bride, most importantly, you need to feel special.  First and foremost, this entire wedding planning process is about YOU.  Comments and feedback are fine, but the decision-making on a wedding dress is yours.  Focusing on just one element – the color, the fabric, the style – will make your day a success!

More on finding a dress you like in upcoming posts.

Passion in the Pose

As you look at your wedding pictures, the partnership created with your photographer will be beautifully reflected.  Experienced wedding photographer, Jeni Rone of Sea Star Arts Photography, captures the passion in every pose. For examples,  see Jeni’s wedding photography at:  www.seastararts.com

Capturing the Details

When searching for your photographer, keep in mind that when your wedding is all said and done, no one is going to remember what you ate or what music was played, they are going to remember what they see in your spectacular wedding photographs.

Professional photographer Jeni Rone of SeaStar Arts says, “If you fall in love with a certain photographer’s style, but think their rates are steep, remember that your wedding photographer should constitute a substantial amount of your budget. Remember you are documenting one of the most important days of your life! Hire someone you can trust to make the day extra special!”  See samples of Jeni’s work at:  www.seastararts.com

Finding Your Photographer

Compatibility counts!   A positive, confident feeling about your ability to communicate with your photographer, along with their dynamic portfolio, will be a great start to your lifelong wedding memories.  More than simply looking at their work, do you feel a rapport?  You and your photographer will be together for the most important day of your life, you’ll need to have a comfortable relationship.
