if not us (which would be great), then who?
Jac & i (via LAP) are members of Professional Photographers of America (PPA), a really helpful, deep, and committed community of professional photographers from around the country who all strive for the same thing: excellence and top standards in professional photographic business and technique.
recently they began a campaign called See the Difference to call attention to the benefits of hiring a professional photographer for wedding services. the website they have setup is really thorough and full of information and reasoning about why hiring a professional should be a top priority for every bride. also included: a simple search tool to find local photographers who are, yes, PPA members. is it the hardest thing in the world to be a member of PPA? no, not exactly. but you do have to prove the existence of your business in various ways and all the photographers listed in the Montgomery area are super-reputable and established names.
basically, what it comes down is this: if you’re hiring someone who is a PPA member, you’re hiring someone who ultimately gives a crap about whats at stake for both the client and for them.
so share this with friends, family, whoever might be getting married soon. if not us (and that’d be great!), please… make it someone who is a professional.
that is a really beautiful picture. when did you guys take that shot?
about a month ago, for a wedding at St. John’s Episcopal Church.
