Choosing your Photographer


Okay, I can't help but post because I am so excited!

Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions in wedding planning. These people will pretty much be up, close and personal with you from the beginning of engagement to the end of the wedding night.

You have to love their work. Every photographer has their own distinguished characteristics. I have studied and browsed through a lot of wedding photographers and their portfollio.  I remember reviewing several options based on their methods and techniques. No matter how and what they were regarded for, I felt like there had to be a spark of some sort. There has to be chemistry.

Beyond the love of their work, the next thing on the list is meeting them. I felt like we had to be compatible. Getting along with them is very important because you wouldn't want to capture any incompetence in these photos. Get to know them and their work ethics. When will the photos be ready? Are they fully responsive and able to communicate when needed? I know there's a limited time for these occasions, but it sums up how your photos will turn out before and after the wedding. This relationship will be an important one, so it's best you hire someone you trust.

For the budget-safety brides, compare quotes for the pricing and value. Make sure you look over the contract to fully understand the value you are receiving. Consider  the facts, Do they offer engagement photoshoots, edited prints, albums, and online options? Make sure you do the research. Google is your second hand here.

Prepare to make another commitment (with the first being your fiance) and put down a deposit if you are real serious for the deal. That goes to the fact that I would like to share my experience...

I am happy to announce that David Tam Photography is our photographer for our wedding journey. A true and honest man. He is truly amazing. He meets all the requirements and criteria as a Wedding Photographer in our perspectives. 

We have the utmost confidence in him in truly making these memories count.

Modern Brides Expo at the Radisson Hotel

I took my mom to the Modern Brides Expo. My mom and I haven't been on the same page with my mom because weddings have changed quite a bit since her time. I really wanted her to have a glimpse of what happens at a wedding nowadays. I have to say though, it was quite a rough start because my mom went into every booth. EVERY BOOTH. Everytime that happened, people looked for the "bride". I can't say "No", I'm too nice about it. But, after a good walk through the booths, I was almost hypervenilating. My mom thought I was crazy. I can't help but feel overwhelmed.

There were a lot of awesome booths.
