My philosophy on shooting a wedding or a portrait goes like this. Shooting a wedding is serious business, but also needs to be serious fun! Everyone has heard nightmare stories of the "Photographer from Hell" who turned the formal photos into an endurance contest, or never let the bride and groom have a free minute to enjoy their own reception, or the photographer who won't listen to your needs. That isn't me!! I have found that clients prefer spontaneous, authentic photos that reflect the emotion of the moment. My job is not only to take great pictures of your wedding day, but to do so in a way that helps to maximize your enjoyment of your day. I work hard to make those necessary formal photos a FUN experience! And when it comes to candids, I like to stalk unobtrusively in the background, constantly watching for those pictures that will best capture the spirit and the joy of your special day. I want to treat every couple as friends who have done me the honor of allowing me to record their wedding day for them. As a friend I remind you to breathe, relax and (most of all) have fun!
Feel free to call me anytime to discuss your photography needs and dreams.
Sincerely,
Tom Panko
