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
