Here are a few pointers about Professional Wedding Photography in Charleston, SC.
1. We are perfectionists in photography.
2. DJs hire out different photogs OR someone related to them or someone with very little experience.
3. Please view the photograph I included (djphotographer). This is a REAL photo of a DJ who offers an independent photographer. Sweethearts............her flash is no big enough to light a small mobile home bedroom. Sorry, but that's reality. Her postage stamp diffuser is a joke. Her ON CAMERA flash will cause REDEYE and will the person incharge of these images edit them to rid the red eye? Even if they do remove the REDEYE, it is taking pixels and disturbing them and readjusting their natural quality. It is removing pixels from your photographs reducing the quality. Shame.
4. I am a MASTER at eiditing. (15 years)
5. I have photographed over 2500 weddings since 1983.
6. My lighting is used in Hollywood and used by the finest photographers in the WORLD. I swear. MOST shots, you will not even see a shadow. It is more expensive than most wanna-be photographers.
7. These tiny "wink lights" the unprofessionals use cause deep dark black shadows on the wall, for example if your cake is set up by a wall and they photograph the cake cutting you will see a totally BLACK shadow beside your bodies. You will see an O.K. bride and groom shot dancing, but the outter area will be BLACK. No view of your guest watching/crying! These "wind-lights" just don't have the power to hit anything but what's in front.
8. Realize you have been on John & Lizz slideshow (I saw this thru our tracker). Take a look again at the second image where the girls are gathered waiting to go in the church. NO SHADOW. 99% of this gorgeous wedding has NO SHADOWS. Now sure, you will see some sometimes, but they are not bad. I see shadows as a distraction. The alter after-shots of groups have NO SHADOWS. It just looks like mother-nature was there lighting these groups. That is PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRPHY!
9. We understand you are comparing another DJ who offers both for $2000. I found a DJ for $550 4 hours + $100 per hour overtime http://www.sundanceproductions.net At that rate, you are below $2000 budget by $155. You could hire him for an extra hour-maybe longer!! The thing that got me was that no one wants to give up their prices. They want you to contact them like no one else can be competitive with their pricing. Drives me crazy.
10. QUOTE: I will do One Photographer, 4 hrs., limited photographs, print pkg. (as states online), Photo DVD, online gallery for just $1000. That's an offer I will we will offer to you until Friday.
11. Doug and I are real...........and REAL good!! I will not lie to you. I am full of myself! I know this, but there are things you just have no idea about..........like nasty shadows, editing and degrading the quality of your images. For just $1395 (cut from $1995) your package will be so loaded, you'll need a truck!! It is UNLIMITED TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12. (Keep in mind that for $395 more, we will do two photogs, + I will include ULTIMATE EDITING......$695 for free......I LOVE LOADED!! Pkg.) $1395. You will still be $55 UNDER $2000 and semi-quality photography!!!!
13. Doug told me you had a question of why is photography so expensive......OK, this is as good as I can answer: If you go to that high profile beauty salon or that elite clothing store and you hate the high price, but you know that if you invest you will be getting premium quality. You should know that they have many years of experience and offer the highest of quality. That is a quality of assurance we will know what to do if something goes crazy on the day! We have books we could write about our experiences!!!(Like Folly Beach when a lady ran into an electrical transformer w/ her car and the ENTIRE HOLIDAY INN went BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!
You will become a part of our lives; not just a job. That is the way we work with our clients.
Anything we can do, don't hesitate to call. We take calls 'til 11::00pm nightly.
