INVESTING IN PHOTOGRAPHY - OKLAHOMA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m back.
I love blogging but for some reason I tend skip the blogging step in my processes of editing, no excuses, I love writing and telling a story of this amazing job I have, I will be doing better, I think I am telling myself this more than anyone else.
I love my job, sometimes it is even hard to explain how much I enjoy being a photographer. Pictures have always been important to me, my mom always took a lot of pictures when I was growing up. I love being able to go back and look through the memories. The same goes for my clients, I try to explain investing in photography and hiring a professional to capture the memories for you so you don’t have to have the stress of wondering if Uncle Bob will remember to take the lens cap off their film camera. I have heard so many stories and received countless e-mails of clients that decided to have ‘Uncle Bob’ shoot their wedding & wish they had invested in a professional.
Here is an e-mail I received just the other day from a bride whose wedding is coming up in May. I asked Molly if I could share it because it is easy for a photographer to stress photography as an investment because I feel like I have seen and heard so many stories that make me hope everyone will not regret not investing but I also feel it is even better to hear it from a bride.
"Hi Jared!
Thanks so much for meeting with us today! We really enjoyed visiting with you. I know that it is very important to feel comfortable with your wedding photographer. Chris and I were very at ease in visiting with you and were very impressed with your style.
We would love to book our wedding with you! I am going to place a check in the mail tomorrow along with the contract.
Again, thanks so much! This was one of my biggest decisions and I am very happy to have found you!
Molly"
Remember the cake, the dress, the decorations will literally be gone but the pictures will keep your memories alive forever.

Have a great Thursday!

EVOLUTION OF A BRIDE - Oklahoma Wedding Photographer

When I was sitting at a WPPI Road Trip in Dallas TX a few months ago, I was still working on the big project of creating this new website. My brain was going none stop before I went to the speakers started speaking but I knew I needed something to go on my pricing page on my website, I wanted something that wasn't just a wedding picture, wasn't just a picture of me taking a picture, something different but was still able to get the point across that this was what I loved to and investing in photography was something I truly felt that every bride looking for a photograph needs.
I know that it is easy to say when you are the photographer, but I have been doing this long enough now that I have received those e-mail after weddings I haven’t shot that decided to use a friend or family member to save money & they always regret it.
Enough typing, so through this whole thought processes & while I was sitting in this convention I had a thought of the photo that shows a monkey turning into a man. Well, I of course do not believe this but I thought hm wouldn't it be cool if I could figure out a way to do this for a bride and these pictures were born.







I did want to say all the pictures didn't make it onto my website because the layout I chose it just didn't work out to make them all fit but I do appreciate each and every one of you & your parents for bringing you to this shoot.
In the future when I am updating I will have more to add and change in and out.
In these pictures: Esme, Emily, Renee, Taylor, Chelsea, Leah & Ashley.
A shout out to the perfect place for anyone to have a wedding The Farmers Market, downtown OKC, for allowing me to use their location to make this shoot possible on this very rainy day!
Also to my amazing mom, who is for sure better than the mail man, rain sleet or snow she is there to help me load and unload everything to make this shoot happen!
