Wedding Photographer Frequently Asked Questions | Amanda Summerlin Photography  

 

So this isn’t your boring old standard wedding photographer Frequently Asked Questions page. It seems to me that most people aren’t really wondering what kind of camera gear I use, or if I prefer natural light or off camera flash. Most people are really just wondering if it is gonna hurt. You know, “Will having my pictures made be as much torture as I think it will?,” or “Are you going to make me say cheese and feel stupid?” kinds of questions. Once, after making a few wedding party photos, a groomsman wondered out loud if I’d stolen his soul (I told him I wasn’t sure, but I’d check the metadata when I got home and email it back to him). So, to answer those oh-so-very-important questions, I made this list to let you know what it’s like to spend a day with me.
