One of the most important aspects of hiring any wedding professional is seeing if your personality meshes with theirs…

 

 

I typically try to never go to contract with any client I have never had a sit down, face-to-face meeting with… I want them to be comfortable with me as we will be spending a lot of time together.

 

I have a great questionnaire I send to every client I am doing consulting, design and coordination services for…I need to know as much about you as possible.

 

Part of what I do best is pairing clients with other wedding professionals who not only match the style of product they are looking for and their budget…but also whose personality I think they will mesh with.

 

This is EXTREMELY important when working with a photographer… you want to feel relaxed, and have fun with the photographer who you will be spending 8-10 hours with on your wedding day…

 

You want to be comfortable with them and be ok with showing emotion and having fun…

 

An engagement session is a great way to not only have some fun, less formal pictures of the two of you, but also to make sure you are comfortable with the photographer you have chosen.

 

Here are some images from a recent engagement with my clients Bill and Karen…

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see they’re having a blast together and VERY comfortable with photographer Cliff Mautner. (www.cmphotography.com)
