Jessica & Derrick | Married | Jasmine Plantation

1/8/2015

0 Comments

 
Jessica and Derrick were our last couple to be photographed in 2014 to get married near Richmond, Virginia. They chose the beautiful Historic Jasmine Plantation in Providence Forge, Virginia.

Though their wedding was in December, the couple decided to have an outside wedding and the day and the weather turned out perfect!

Wedding photographs are the only things that live forever, not the flowers, not the music or the cake! Your wedding photographs are an investment you owe yourself and your grandchildren, and for this you need to work with your photographer to make them fabulous. Jessica and Derrick did just that! Thanks to these two for a great end to the 2014 wedding season.


Top Tips for Perfect Wedding Photography
Here are some of the tips for Perfect Wedding Photography


1) Start your research early, by asking friends and browsing websites and go through some galleries of wedding photographers.
    2) Make a list of moments you would like to capture so that your photographer knows just what you want.
    3) Arrange meetings with different photographers you've short listed and meet with them to see if your personalities match.
    4) Take all the information regarding packages and find out how many hours of shooting. 
    5) If you have decided on a photographer, make sure to review them on various websites and then after checking the references you can make a decision. Also, book soon as most good wedding photographers book quick.
    6) A pre-wedding photo shoot is a great opportunity to get comfortable with your partner. Never miss this chance.
    7) Before the wedding always keep a member of the family to help you in gathering of all the grandparents, siblings and cousins during the wedding day.
    8) In the end just relax and enjoy your day, allow your photographer to keep you on schedule, because you hired them and rather than you they need to worry about capturing all the moments.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Pictures were one of my top priorities for my wedding. I spent a lot of time reading through photographers and even contacting some. I was also pretty nervous, I had never been professionally photographed before. Crystal and her team were SO easy to work with and immediately took away the nerves. I trusted her completely and I am so happy I did. Cannot recommend enough!  Ellen - Yorktown VA

If you're looking for an amazing photographer who is relaxed, has experience, and knowledge look no further. Crystal took our engagement and wedding photos. Not only were her photos amazing, but she is extremely responsive to messages and will even help you when planning your big day. It was important to us to work with a photographer who has experience with same sex couples, and Crystal and Casey did a great job capturing everything for my wife and I. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. - Emily - Nellysford, VA
