Fitting In Isn’t Hard To Do

We are in full swing this month booking weddings in the Denver and Fort Collins areas for next summer. Choosing a wedding photographer is an important decision and we are always happy to answer questions to aid couples in that process. We were asked this weekend about how we dress for weddings and were surprised to hear that, apparently, some wedding photographers wear jeans and t-shirts.  We respect that this is a very special day for the couple and their families, and as such we wear formal attire. I usually wear a black dress or dress slacks with a dark colored blouse. Bill wears dress slacks and a collared shirt with a tie.

Your vendors, especially photographers, become default guests at your wedding. Not only should your wedding photographer dress nicely and blend in, but it’s also important that he or she be comfortable mingling with others. At every wedding we shoot, at least one guest will approach me and ask about our cameras and lenses. Photography is a very popular hobby and people are often interested in the equipment we use and our techniques. Your wedding photographer should be able to converse comfortably with your family and friends and still be able to capture all the unique and memorable moments of your wedding day.

If you are considering Sherri Barber Photography for your wedding in the Denver or Fort Collins area and have a question you would like to ask, feel free to contact us.

Welcome to November!

Bill and I are enjoying the end of our busiest wedding season ever here in Denver. However, our wedding photography responsibilities are far from over. We are now in full swing preparing, ordering, and delivering final wedding albums to our Northern Colorado couples. This is exciting, but it’s also a big task. We need to adjust and refine the layouts of our book designs to meet the unique needs of each client. Bill then thoroughly reviews each photo and removes every blemish, reflection, and stray hair. Once we are completely satisfied down to the very last detail, we send the design to our book printer. For the next 30 days, we wait eagerly along with our clients for the final product to arrive.

Curiously, many of our couples take several months to choose a layout and complete this process. It sometimes seems that we are more eager to create the books than they are! However, it’s well worth the wait once each wedding photograph has been chosen and perfectly placed in the album. The final books are the real heirloom for your family and the best presentation for our art.
