Friend Photographers
Ema Drouillard Photographer
My Experience:

When I first started offering small intimate weddings...after
the ceremony the bride or groom would often end up
handing me a small pocket camera to take a quick wedding
photo of the them.  As a photographer for over twenty years
it didn't take me long to see the short comings of this
arrangement.  In the first place using a small pocket camera
that I had never had in my hands before was not optimum.  
Secondly to take one or two photos is not enough to say the
least.  

I have gained a level of expertise in photographing intimate
weddings in nature with natural light under all kinds of
weather conditions and lighting.  These green weddings
don't often provide photography opportunities a fall
wedding offers. In most cases the wedding is visible only by
the attire of the Bride and Groom and by the flowers being
held by the Bride.
Photographers used to photographing full weddings find themselves lost at how little
there is to photograph.  Friends often take only a few images.  Most that shoot with point
and shoot camera's end up with blurred images, poor lighting, and images that can not be
enlarged with any quality.

I recently had a couple that wanted to be very budget minded so they asked their two
friends that would be guests at the wedding to photograph their wedding.  At the wedding
their friends used pocket point and shoot cameras and took some photos of the wedding
day.  Here is a
link to the gallery of the images the Bride sent to me the day after her
wedding.  The images are blurred, cropped to small to make enlargements and over all are
not the keepsakes that wedding photo's are designed to be. I have witnessed this over and
over again when the couple decide to have a friend take there wedding photos.

The Simple Package I offer provides both the flowers and the photography.   Wedding
Photography is lasting memory of your wedding day.  They are well worth the small
investment.

On average couples spend $350 for their photography session and near $300 on prints.  
$650 for wedding photography is a bargain!  Make this your lasting gift to each other.
