p.1 #1 · Dang, now I need a wedding photog myself!

Well, soon I can fully appreciate all my clients' worries regarding planning, budget, etcetera....all that because I've asked my girlfriend to marry me! Luckily she said 'yes' (without any slight hesitation

)). The setting (the steps of Sydney's Opera House) might have something to do with that.

I guess the most fun is going to be to find a suitable wedding photog...luckily my girlfriend, sorry, future-wife, said she'd like to have someone with a similar style as me. Any tips for geeky questions I can ask?

(such as what camera strap do you have, etc.)

ps: after returning from my Australia trip I've been working on a blog and I found a post here on FM about the prophoto2 wordpress theme; I followed the advice of my wise fellow members and I must admit it indeed ROCKS! (it's on www.weddingvision.nl/blog but at the moment only in dutch; sorry)

CONGRATS!!!

I would personally HATE choosing a wedding photographer myself as I'd be so picky. During the entire wedding I would be concerned about the settings and composition choices the hired photographer would be making.

Fantastic blog theme btw.

Congratulations. The Opera House would have been a great spot for popping the question.

Why choose.....just send an open invitation here to all FM'ers to come and shoot your wedding. You will feel like a rockstar! Dozens of flashes going off in your face and people screaming "look at me" or "look sexy".

Just an idea...

If somebody yells 'look sexy!' to me I'd probably get a heart attack on the spot

How about "TRY and look sexy!"

Seriously though, I have no suggestions to your original question, but a hearty congratulations to you!

The first question you should ask is: Do you travel to the Netherlands?..... My answer is "YES!!!"

I would definitely be up for traveling over! My family comes from the Netherlands (a long time ago), so I've been looking for an excuse to visit.

Well, I reckon I'll just compile a list of some photogs I like (sorry guys, most likely they'll be locals) and let the Mrs. make the final choice....

DB, do you have a Dutch surname? Like 'Van ....'?

Our last name is Brundage - I'm not sure what my great grandad's last name was (the dutch one). I'll have to find out.

It's photographers fate to have bad pictures from their own weddings (no rule without exception, so don't argue with some big names

). We hide our ones deep down in the cellar.

Good luck
