Photographers


The bride, the mother of the bride, and sometimes even the groom, need to make decisions about which vendors to hire for the big day.  If you've gone to weddings in the last few years, you've noticed that things have changed.  The styles of centerpieces, favors, lighting options, music, table decor, and photography have all evolved into something completely different from the days I was married (in the early 1970's).  There are many choices, but your budget and taste are big factors.

Today, many wedding have "photo booths" available for guests.  It is an additional expense, but worth it because it is entertaining for guests, and you usually get a record of all the poses.  There are a wide range of people offering photo booths for weddings and other celebrations.  If you have the opportunity to visit a local bridal show, you'll see many companies showcasing their services.  Talk to the photo vendors, check out prices, styles of photo booths, extra charges, etc., to find the one you prefer.  Although we hired Infinity Photobooth for our event, there are many different companies that can fit your needs.  Be sure to verify that the company is available for your date, and provide the required deposit to seal the deal.  To reserve your date with any vendor, you must put down a deposit.

If you are looking for a videographer, you might want to see if your photographer offers the service.  We highly recommend CentralOhioWeddingVideo for their professionalism, and reasonable packages. They were super to work with for the wedding.  We received excellent, professionally produced, CD's of the event.  CentralOhioWeddingVideo would be my choice again, if I had any other children that would be getting married.

Today, wedding photographers offer a huge variety of packages for the bride and groom.  Your budget should determine which photographer you choose.  A wedding photographer could cost between $2,000 (if you are lucky) to $20,000.  Hopefully, you'll be able to hire  someone with excellent skills, good recommendations,  a style you want, and a package you can afford.  I can highly recommend two superior wedding photographers located in central Ohio  ----
