This Photographer Will Make Your Wedding Photos Shine

The most important of all your wedding planning decisions is, of course, who will be the photographer you choose to capture the beauty, romance, emotion and joy of your wedding. Finding the right wedding photographer can be tough. They must be able to capture each precious memory in a way that fits you best. And you must also feel comfortable enough to be yourself around your photographer. The days of posed, stiff wedding photography are over. Today’s bride wants to look back and be able to feel the joy of her special day.

Dan Binkley Photography is the best bet to fulfill all of your expectations and more! He’s not satisfied unless you are — that is his personal guarantee to each bride. He takes time to connect personally with each of his clients and understands there is no such thing as “one size fits all” when it comes to a wedding.

Dan has an incredibly artistic eye and is able to capture the truly beautiful moments that make lifelong memories. In particular, his work with lighting is superb, which is a rare trait to come by these days.

Lighting can make the difference between just a so-so wedding album and a truly spectacular look back at one of the most memorable days of your life. It is the difference between a snapshot and a portrait.

Also, the action of your wedding day won’t be confined to just one little area; there’s a little magic happening in every room of your wedding location. A wedding photographer who can transition from a bright outdoors patio, to the dimly lit bride’s dressing room and to the candle lit ceremony with ease is a rare find. Why settle for less than the most beautiful portrayal of the most of your day life and beyond?

Let Dan Binkley be your lifetime photographer. His top-quality kids are incredible and don’t forget senior portraits!

The Photographer’s Pick For Wedding Photography

There are photographers, and then there are photographers — I’m sure you know what I mean. Baton Rouge wedding photographer, Kenneth Wilks, is definitely of the latter group. It’s his attention to detail: lighting, composition, color and above all, his subjects that really set him apart from other wedding photographers.

Many photographers get into the business to take specific kinds of photos (portraits, wedding photography, corporate portraits, landscapes etc.) For many, that’s enough. Not Kenneth Wilks. As a classically-trained art photographer, photojournalist and fashion photographer, his skills are seriously top notch. His professional experience enables him to create unique photography that will truly stand out.

You might not have thought about it before, but having a wedding photographer skilled in other areas of photography is a great idea for your big day. Who could better capture the hustle and bustle of a wedding than a photojournalist? They have been trained to scan every detail of a shot to capture the best, most emotional frame possible. Don’t miss the only, tiny tear your dad sheds during his little girl’s vows or your great-grandparents slow dancing at your reception.

Having a fashion photographer comes in handy too! Not only does he know exactly the best lighting to make your wedding gown radiant, his creativity will give you better portraits than even the best bridal magazine. Kenneth does outstanding engagement photography too! Just check out the photo to the left, who would have ever thought to do that?

If you’re still not convinced, read this testimonial. Kenneth Wilks, photography for photographers:

I am a photographer myself, so when it came time for me to pick a photographer for my wedding it was a hard. Ultimately, I decided to go with Ken. He was great. I had a blast at my bridal session. I never realized being on the other side of the lens could be so much fun. The wedding coverage was amazing. He got shots I wouldn’t have thought of, as well as all the standards. I just can’t say enough good things about him!!

A photographer does a good job of showing you the scenes of your wedding, but a photographer has the ability to show you things through their eyes and that is like another wonderful world — truly your fairytale.

American Limousine — The Real Life Of The Party

Any time we see a limo, the first thing that comes to mind is, “Is someone important in there?” For American Limousine, the answer is always “Yes.” To them, all of their clients are VIPs. Whether you are looking for a romantic night on the town, corporate travel, wedding transportation or just want to arrive at a concert in style, your first choice in limos should be American Limousine.

Let’s face it, limos are just impressive. Whenever a limousine arrives to pick you up, you know your night is sure to be unforgettable. Just this weekend, I witnessed first hand how a limo can really turn the night around:

Saturday, my friend was awaiting his big 30th birthday bash to ensue. Unfortunately, many of his friends called to say they were going to be late, and even some weren’t able to come. He was disappointed and his birthday bash was slowly becoming a flop. His wife decided they should scrap the party and just eat out. Not two seconds later, a modern, black stretch limo pulls up outside and a driver steps out. The birthday boy, in shock, rushed to see what was going on. The driver opens the passenger door and inside all of his friends were eagerly waiting to give him the surprise of his life! Even the friends who were “late” or “not going to make it” were all packed inside this party on wheels!

We all went out for an incredible dinner. Just the sight of all the party guests exiting the limo — people had to think we were rock stars! There is nothing better than a stretch limousine to make you feel important.

As you can imagine, the night turned into an unforgettable party for everyone who attended.

An American Limousine rental is definitely the icing on the cake for any party or event, but don’t think it stops there. Why not rent a limousine to introduce out of town guests to the sights and delights of Charlotte and the surrounding area? American Limousine services a large area surrounding Charlotte, NC — four states of coverage!

Need a gift idea for a sports fan? American Limousine offers many great specials for sporting events like Carolina Panthers’ games, ACC and SEC and much, much more. How ’bout a day at the races? A professional chauffeur will carry you and up to 13 of your friends for a day or weekend at many of the surrounding tracks.

American Limousine hasn’t forgotten the ladies! A ladies night out is not complete without a limo! Or, for something new, take one of American Limo’s wine tasting tours! Explore the vineyards and wineries of North and South Carolina in the comfort of their luxury limousine driven by a professional chauffeur.

Next time you are looking for a gift to really WOW someone, or just want to arrive in style, American Limo should be your first choice!

Personality Really Does Go A Long Way With Valdes Photography

Wedding Photography Technical skill is not the only requirement for a good wedding photographer. You must have an ‘eye’ for the artistic side as well. Another important attribute often over looked is personality. If subjects are uncomfortable or nervous it can be impossible to get a great, natural-looking shot. Valdes Photography does all this and so much more.

Valdes Photography in Bloomington, IL goes above and beyond to ensure the highest level of comfort for your session. He encourages his clients to come in, meet the team, bring their pets. They can even use their favorite props from home for a more personalized touch! Whether from a magazine or their own creative whim, He encourages his clients to bring in their ideas about the shoots they want taken during their session.

Valdes Photography offers a free consultation prior to your session — a kind of ‘get acquainted’ meet up. This is an essential part of not only children’s portrait photography, but anyone looking for outstanding photos. Just read this testimonial to see why:

“I have a set of 3½ year old twins that have never liked their pictures taken. When I explained my situation to them, they offered to schedule a FREE consultation with the twins. We brought my twins to the studio and they got to meet the photographer, play with the props and get to know each other better (about 1 hour).

The next weekend, I brought my twins back for their photo shoot and they were all excited about it. They listened to the photographer and were extremely behaved for the first time ever! We had so much fun watching them laugh and smile – no tears or frustration as I had always had in the past.” –Billie M. Wells

Your comfort level actually shows in photos. When you are truly happy your best smiles come out. This is why the quality of Valdes’ wedding photography is unmatched. He is able to candidly capture the tender moments a bride spends with her new family. You can’t go wrong with Valdes.
