			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>Let us show you the steps to choose a photographer that is just right for you.</p>
<p><a href="http://finespunphotography.com/index2b.php"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-785" title="Boulders Resort" src="http://www.finespunphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_4340-200x300.jpg" alt="Arizona Wedding Photography" width="200" height="300" /></a>You are probably like so many couples who went to the bridal show and thought that your problems would be solved.  After all, with so many photographers at the show, choosing can’t be that difficult!   Like so many other couples, you are not sure what questions to ask or what the answers really mean.</p>
<p>Budget is, of course, a concern but it should not be the only determining factor.  So how do you choose your photographer and avoid post wedding disappointment about your photographs?  How can you make sense of all of the choices offered?</p>
<p>Take the time to interview your photographer and establish if there is a connection.   Since you spend more time with your wedding photographer than any other vendor on your wedding day, it is very important that you not only like your photographer but that they understand the results you are looking for.  Engagement sessions are a great way to establish this connection and really should be a requirement for anyone purchasing wedding photography.</p>
<p>Look closely at the albums and other products your photographer provides and gauge their enthusiasm for these products.  Ask them why they chose these particular suppliers.  As with other products, you can typically expect that a lower priced photographer equates to a less experienced photographer which results in lower quality photography as well as lower quality final products.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffcc99;"><strong><a href="http://finespunphotography.com/index2b.php" target="_blank">Finespun Photography</a></strong></span> wants to help you through this planning process which is why we can provide you with information that will make selecting your photographer seem manageable.  We will talk to you about photographer/client relationships, balancing quality and cost, how to develop a sensible plan for your wedding day photography, and even why we include engagement sessions with all of our packages. <span style="color: #ff0000;"> In fact, we are so committed to our engagement sessions and the relationships that they build; we will are offering a complimentary engagement session plus a $300.00 print credit if you book us to do your wedding.  <em>But this offer only lasts for <strong>10 days</strong>, so call to book your consultation meeting with us now!</em></span></p>
<p>We are a full service studio, with an established business which means that you can rest assured that we will be here when your wedding day arrives.  It means that we are serious about our business and invest in our education and equipment.  And we do this to be the best photographers we can be and turn out the highest quality work for our clients.</p>
<p>Learn how to identify the differences and select your wedding photographer.  The information you receive from us will be valuable no matter which photographer you choose.</p>
<p>Contact us at <strong>480-393-0475</strong> to schedule a personal consultation.  We will help you learn how to select the photographer who captures your memories and affect how you remember your wedding day the rest of your lives.</p>

<p><em>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</em></p>
<p><strong>Why are Engagement Sessions Important? </strong><a href="http://cts.vresp.com/c/?FinespunPhotography/751d217b65/TEST/fc722f4a62">Finespun Photography</a> believes that engagement sessions are a really essential part of the wedding photography process which is why we include an engagement session for all couples who book a wedding with us.  Here are some of the reasons we feel so strongly about the engagement sessions we do.</p>
<p><strong>Experience:</strong> It is not unusual for couples to feel a bit nervous about having their photographs taken in a public setting and their wedding day is not the time to confront this concern.  Working with us to capture engagement photographs allows you to become more comfortable in front of the camera (and in front of other people).</p>
<p><strong>Relationship Building: </strong>Engagement sessions are the perfect time to establish a personal relationship&#8211;a relationship built on trust and familiarity&#8211;with your photographer. We promise your session will be fun!  Getting to know your photographer personally really does help put you more at ease on your wedding day.</p>
<p><strong>Knowing what to Expect:</strong> Not only will you have the benefit of seeing your photographer work, you’ll also see how great you can look in photos!  And knowing that you look great, will increase your confidence!</p>
<p><strong>The Best Photography: </strong>Working with you in an engagement session helps us gain a better understanding of your personalities, your best expressions, and your quirks.  We will help you make your posing more casual so you will always be seen at your best.  And we believe that you will end up with better photos from your wedding day by doing an engagement session.   After your session you&#8217;ll really begin to look forward to the photographs that we’ll take on your wedding day. You&#8217;ll also be able to more clearly articulate the style of photography you prefer so we can make sure we use those same techniques on your wedding day.</p>
<p>Please contact us soon as this offer is only good through the end of October!  To schedule your engagement session now, please contact us 480-393-0475.</p>
