Find Your Vendors

Photographing one amazing moment after another.

Weddings are such amazing events. Even though you spend months picking out the exact floral arrangements, deciding on this color linen, those glasses, these name cards, planning all the little details. Imagining the whole day in your head a thousand times. You still have this look of awe and exhilaration when you see it all put together. The spontaneous laughter, the tears, the smiles, hugs and even all the silly moments of that special day. These are the things that make a weddings so wonderful and memorable. Capturing these moments for you to look at and remember all over again is the reason why I have loved spending the past thirteen years as a wedding photograph

  • 2011 - 2012 Dream Wedding Photography Package Giveaway

    Your photographer is probably the most important vendor at your wedding.  They are one of the few people who spend easily up to 10 hours working with you before the day of your wedding even arrives.  They are also the person you entrust with capturing all the special moments of a day that not only marks the beginning of your new family, but also a day that will only happen once.  Brides who choose the right photographer find that by the end of wedding, they and their family see that photographer almost as an extension of their family.  Good photographers are also not that cheap and getting the one you trust and like may cause you to re-budget other parts of your wedding. 

     

    Each season (mine is from September to June) I start the year with a Photography Package Giveaway.  I have seen how hard things have been for many young couples either having to pay for their own wedding or plan one on a extremely tightened budget.  So this year, Ivan Apfel Photography is giving away a dream package to one lucky couple and and Engagement Package to the two runners up.  See descriptions and rules below:

  • eSessions - Three Reasons to Book One

    So it is time to sit down and decide what options you want to include in your Wedding Photography Package and find yourself wondering whether or not to book an Engagement Session.  When I speak to my brides and grooms about eSessions I always tell them the following three reasons why they are great options to add to their package:

     

    Deer In The Headlights
    Most people are not used to having a large professional camera pointed at them for eight hours.  Whether concious of it or not people will have a slight "Deer In The Headlights" look on their face for the first 30 minutes until they begin to forget the camera is there.  Seeing that no part of the wedding can be reshot or paused, you don't want that adjustment period being eternally recorded in your wedding images.  eSessions give you a great chance to sit with your photographer and spend 90 minutes getting comfortable with them taking pictures of you.  This way come your wedding day you are able to be more relaxed and yourself in the images.

     

    "STD's" and "Guest Signature Books"
    These images are great for sending out your Save The Date cards, magnets, etc.  In addition, you can use these images to have a custom Guest Signature Book made.  These can either be done through your wedding photographer or through many of online bookmakers.  If you decide to go this route I suggest you speak to your wedding photographer about what kind of books they can offer you and what the characteristics and advantages of each would be.

     

    Home and Office
    You will have some wonderful portaits and pictures of the two of you from your wedding day, however, it is also nice to have some great everyday pictures of the two of you for your office and at home.  These pictures are perfect for this.
