Take my advice!

Let me tell you about the story of my Wedding Day.....  It went by way to quickly, and I don't have a lot of photos to show for it.  Unfortunately, at that time, I was young and inexperienced in life.  I didn't have the foresight to see what might really be important to me in the future.  I was the type of bride that didn't really want a huge wedding.  I just wanted to be married.   So, I did what you do, got a dress, a tux, and a few people to stand up for me, some important guests, and yummy food..... I was in heaven.  Now, flash ahead 11 years later, three kids and still happily, blissfully married.  What's missing here?  Well, the wedding pictures.  Don't get me wrong.  I do have some wedding pictures, that were taken by my brother - yeah, he had a "good camera" doesn't everyone??  But that doesn't equal "good pictures".  I always say, that I like to learn the hard way and I definately did.   Probably more so than the average person, because now, I am a Professional Photographer, and every day I am reminded as to what I don't have - Professional Wedding Photos.   That day is gone forever, and my kids are just starting to ask about our wedding and what was it like....  If I had some decent pictures, I might be inclined to dig deep for them, but I know that it will make me cringe to look at the horrible boring photos, that could have been beautiful memories.   If only I wasn't so cheap!  I hope whoever reads this is listening... I tell this story to my clients over and over again and I've never had a bride regret spending the money on their photos.
