Let us show you the steps to choose a photographer that is just right for you.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Finespun Photography 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.  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.  But this offer only lasts for 10 days, so call to book your consultation meeting with us now!

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.

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.

Contact us at 480-393-0475 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.

Finespun Photography believes that engagement sessions are a really essential part of the wedding photography process which is why we encourage couples to add an engagement session when they book!  Booking your wedding photographer without an engagement session is like purchasing a car without a test drive.  Here are some of the reasons we feel so strongly about the engagement sessions we do.

Experience:  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).

Relationship Building:  Engagement sessions are the perfect time to establish a personal relationship–a relationship built on trust and familiarity–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.

Knowing what to Expect:  Not only will you have the benefit of seeing your photographer work, you’ll lso see how great you can look in photos!  And knowing that you look great, will increase your confidence!

The Best Photography:  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’ll really begin to look forward to the photographs that we’ll take on your wedding day. You’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.

We know that choosing a wedding photographer can seem overwhelming which is why we offer a complimentary consultation to all engaged couples.  To learn how to identify the differences between photographers and how to select your wedding photographer, contact us at 480-393-0475 to schedule your consultation.  The information you receive from us will be valuable no matter which photographer you choose. 

We are offering a limited time offer when you book Finespun Photography to cover your wedding – a personalized cosmetic bag of your very own!  Please contact us at 480-393-0475 since this offer is only valid until the end of April. 

Finespun Photography is a “boutique” photography studio, catering to clients who want more from their photography than “snap shots” to file away in a box or images to post on the internet.  We specialize in custom photography. “Custom photography is more of a luxury than your entry level cookie cutter, department store experience. Custom photography truly is not for everyone; it requires a level of commitment, investment in time and money, forethought and planning on the part of the subject/client and requires a larger time commitment for the photographer as well.

Clients who enjoy taking a more active role in the creation of their family’s memories have the desire to have portrait art that is truly personalized.  These more discerning clients have been known to budget and allot time for a custom photography session. Many clients opt for it to be a once a year special experience, some opt to have custom photography sessions done to record their child’s stages in life.  Having said this, it is clear that custom photography is not in everyone’s budget,  it is something that most families save for to splurge on from time to time to memorialize their children as they really are (rather than posed and primped in the cookie cutter studio setting).

Custom photography ultimately is all about “the experience” and “the relationship”.  The experience should be joyful and fun and capture those special relationships that you share with those in your life.  Custom photography is about finding someone who will photograph your family, give you devoted one-on-one attention without worry of the next “in line” or feeling of a crowded portrait studio.  You can expect a custom photographer to continue the “experience” when you view your images in a slide show set to music.  This is where you will see only the best images that meet the photographer’s creative sensibilities.  Some of the images will be fully edited and color corrected with blemishes and under eye circles removed.  This helps clients envision what the image might look like displayed in their home as artwork to be enjoyed for many years.

And the time, effort and expertise that go into creating this artwork will cost more.  Even though you can pay $1.99 for a print at your local drugstore, purchasing an 8 x 10 can cost $60 or more at a boutique studio.  There are many reasons for the additional costs at a custom studio, including time, equipment costs, artistic vision, photographer expertise, overhead, as well as the quality of the end product.  Finespun Photography’s portraits (even our 8 x 10’s) are professionally processed to enhance and softer skin tones; printed with the finest inks onto textured papers and mounted to board for stability.  All of our prints are treated with an archival lacquer to protect the images for many years.  This labor intensive process is incorporated into every product we sell.

The portrait art you have invested in from your custom photographer will no doubt increase in value and become more priceless to you as the years pass.  To learn more about our photography, feel free to view our on-line galleries.  But don’t stop there and remember that photography is not about what you see in an on-line image but what you see and what you feel when you meet with the photographer.

Finespun Photography offers two portrait clubs to make capturing those early milestones a cinch!  Each of these programs offer multiple portrait sessions at a low cost and include a portrait wall collection as a beautiful keepsake of this special time.

The Baby Club (priced at $159) Welcoming a new baby into the family is an exciting and emotional time.  A baby’s first year is full of rapid changes that mark the milestones in her/his growth.  From the first time your little one lifts his/her head or sits up alone to those first real steps, we have designed the perfect collection of sessions and images that will capture those remarkable moments.  This club is for newborns through 12 months and will capture the important milestones of your child’s first year.

Our Baby Club includes:

• Three 5×5 art portraits
• Custom art mat and frame from our gallery line of quality studio frames.
• Special Club Member Pricing
• Three Complimentary Photography Sessions at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months

The Little Tots Club (priced at $259) We have also created a program to capture those magical moments of your child’s toddler and pre-school years.  Children progress so quickly through these magical young years and Finespun Photography has created the perfect program to document these moments.  From the inquisitive toddler years to the creative pre-school years, you will want to remember these innocent times forever through the beautiful portraiture created by our studio.  This club is for children 18 months (although the timing of this first session can be earlier) through 5 years.

Our Little Tots Club includes:

• Four 5×5 art portraits
• Custom art mat and frame from our gallery line of quality studio frames.
• One 11×14 traditional wall portrait at the fifth year
