Vendor Spotlight: Comfort Photography

Having a hard time choosing a wedding photographer? There are so many of us in town, it can be a bit overwhelming for couples on the hunt for their photographer. With packages ranging from $500 to upwards of $10,000, where do you start? Below are a few facts about Comfort Photography that I hope will assist you in your search.

1. My style is relaxed and unobtrusive- I’m not a pushy photographer and
I dont put you in uncomfortable poses and expect you to look natural. Half
of the time you wont even know that I’m there.

2. I work quickly and efficiently- I will not keep you for 3 hours in
between your ceremony and reception to take tons of formal shots. I
want you to enjoy your wedding day.

3. I incorporate several styles of photography- By using elements of
photojournalism, portraiture, fashion and fine art photography I provide
you with a variety of shots

4. I offer 4 different packages- From a basic package to all inclusive, I
have something for everyone. All packages include two photographers,
4x6 prints, online viewing and High Resolution files with copyright release!


5. I love what I do- From getting your hair done, to the cutting of your
cake, I truly enjoy every aspect of your wedding day. I feel honored to
be a part of such an important event.
