Photography for Melissa and Griffin

I must admit I am a little excited about this one! We all know photographers, just about anyone with a camera these days think they are one. But what quality are you really getting? I have the honor of having worked with some amazing photographers over the years, if you were to ask me who's the best I honestly could not tell you, they are all different personalities, styles and price ranges. However, I can tell you when someone is NOT a good photographer and I knew helping Melissa and Griffin find a good one in their price range was not going to be easy, or so I thought!

I do not like to ask favors, I never want to be the wedding planner that get's their call forwarded to voice mail because they are always asking for something. What I do want to be in the one who knows the right people to ask so that no one is giving up anything or losing money but the couple gets high quality service from awesome vendors. This is the approach I took with the task of finding a quality photographer. I looked through my list of contacts and emailed only the ones who were good and came close to the budget we were trying to stay within. Richard Roman from Roman Studios in Eugene was able to take our budget and needs and create a package that has delighted and excited the couple. If you can, take some time to look through his work and get to know him and his wife, I guarantee you will come away with a life long friend, I know I did!!

Here are a few pictures I stole from his website from a wedding we did together a few years back.
