What does one consider when choosing a wedding photographer???
Well, for starters, I’d imagine they would want the person shooting their engagement photos to be one of the people shooting their wedding. And could you imagine my horror when my husband and I went to four photographers who informed us this was either impossible or no guarantee??? WHY would I want one person to shoot my engagement photos and another to shoot my wedding??? It just doesn’t make sense!
And then, finally, the fifth time was the charm! Franklin Square Photographers.
From the moment Eric and I walked into FSP, I knew they would be my choice! Keith was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. A family-owned business, this made me smile.
Once we saw the way they give you your proofs (I won’t spoil the surprise, but will tell you you won’t find this anywhere else!) I was sold. I mean, that and a combination of the talent up on the walls (photos), the albums we looked at, the video and trailer we saw (a friend of mine from high-school coincidentally)…I knew FSP was the one!
Another concern of mine during the “booking vendors process” was the number of photographers/videographers we would have the day of the wedding, as well as, how long we would have them for. Example: One studio said only one photographer, one videographer, and ONLY (and this part was true for many of the studios we visited) for 10 hours. Now, here’s the thing. If your wedding starts at say 6 or 7 and goes until 11, 12, or even 1am and hair & makeup start early in the morning HOW does 10 hours work??? It doesn’t!!!
Keith and Team went to my husbands house first, then came to my house…to the church, another stop for pictures, to our venue…they were with us every step of the way, down to our last dance!
Keith, thank you for capturing the best and most beautiful moments of our wedding day. I am forever grateful to the care and dedication you showed on our special day, especially in the heat!!!
A special shout-out to “Accu”-Maggie, one of the photographers who was tracking the weather on her phone down to the minute because the rain was coming for us and we took pictures at an outdoor site (our venue was over-looking the Long Island Sound, too) and…by a miracle, three rain drops fell and it passed! I mean could you imagine?! But how dedicated she/FSP was to making sure we didn’t get rained on!!!
I just cannot say enough about our photos! And I cannot WAIT to see our video and trailer. Another favorite of mine is how they capture the Bride and Groom before the wedding in an interview-type setting to get some special sentiments about how they feel about their soon-to-be… It is so special and unique – truly a piece I will hold close to my heart.
Thank you Ken for videoing us every step of the way! I am certain our trailer and video will knock everyone’s socks off! Thank you Rick – your friendliness from the moment you entered the house helped me stay calm – thank you for shooting my “interview” – in the blazing sun! Thank you Brendan for the lighting, thereby helping us to look our best!
You guys are beyond amazing and I will never get tired of recommending you! Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives!
With heartfelt thanks and appreciation,
Love,
Shannon and Eric Lutz
