Share only your favorite photos with your busy/attention-span-defficient friends and family

When we shoot wedding photos, we generally deliver at least 400 images. That’s a lot to go through. Some people can pour through them for hours, enjoying them all.

Others (me included) can have somewhat lesser of an attention span. Over in our sharing gallery, you can select your favorites by hovering your mouse over the image on the photo page. Then select ADD TO FAVORITES. Once you’ve selected at least one, there is a “MY FAVORITES (#)” link in the top left corner. Click that link to see, rearrange, and organize your the pictures you’ve selected as favorites. You could even order prints or downloads through this screen.

You can share them with us (the wedding photographers – we love to see your favorites, and can use this information when building your book), or friends with the “Share” button in the top right of the favorite screen. Grab the link and share it with others on Facebook, email, or whatever.

These Favorites are saved for 30 days. If you want a more permanent solution, check out the post on Collections.

I didn’t always want to be a wedding photographer. When I was a kid, I went to them almost begrudgingly. Weddings were something to get through, hoping to get a good piece of cake at the end.

A couple of years ago, C.J. had a friend insist he shoot his wedding. Knowing I had shot for a few years, C.J. convinced me that I should help him out. Throughout that wedding day, we had numerous people asking how long we had done wedding photography. Apparently we gave off a vibe that we knew what we were doing.

From there, we kept getting referrals from people, and requests for how much we charge. So, we started Mosaic Photo.

We’ve learned a lot since then. And I actually really like taking pictures at weddings. It’s great be a part of a day that mean so much to so many people. I love the quick pace, meeting people, and creating beautiful photographs that a bride and groom enjoy for their lives together.

Mosaic Photo is proud to provide full service wedding photography in Wichita, Kansas. But Laura’s sister, who happened to be a friend of mine in high school, got married in Winnipeg at the beginning of January. So, we had the privilege of driving up to Canada in the dead of winter to take wedding photos. Really, we had a great time. Even though it was so cold that our tire lost pressure and came off the rim.

The wedding was beautiful. It was held at a golf course southwest of Winnipeg. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day. Since it’s not every day we shoot outside of Kansas, there are quite a few.

See all of these and still want to see more? Here are the rest of Dave and Lisa’s wedding photos.

Mosaic Photo had the true privilege of shooting Erin and Mike’s wedding. A while back, C.J. and I had shot their engagement photos. Their wedding was a great reflection of their personalities. A small, intimate ceremony with family. Then, we got to spend a lot of time with just the bride and groom taking portraits of them. After that, their reception was a fun party, with games and our photo booth.

It really feels like we made great friends with this amazing couple. Congrats, Mike and Erin.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day. We tried to balance their personality and taste, balancing a retro look with some bright and vivid, modern shots.

Here are the rest of their wedding photos.

Here are some of my favorite photos of some of the brides and grooms we had this year with the people they are closest to. Looking through these photos, there is a wide variety of styles.

We have the best clients. Really. These are some of my favorites from the awesome brides we had this year. Enjoy.

We had a lot of great grooms this year. Here are some of my favorite groom portraits from weddings we did in 2009.

Great blog post explaining a lot about the complexity of wedding photography

I’m always trying to learn more about what we do, how to interact better with our clients, and how to produce a better product. A while back, I was reading a blog I frequent a lot, when I saw a post about hiring a wedding photographer.

MyDeeJay.com had an article on questions to ask a wedding photographer and what to look for in some one to trust with your wedding photos. I thought it was worth sharing, so here it is: Hiring a Wedding Photographer.

The article is mainly comprised of questions the author asks DC area photographers. Questions like “What are the advantages of having a ’second shooter’ to assist the photographer?” and  ”What are the differences between the major styles of wedding photography?”

At the bottom, there are several questions posed to a photographer. Definitely worth a look if you’re looking for a wedding photographer.

And of course, we’ll be glad to answer any questions you have.

More wedding photography from Jordan and Emily’s wedding

I wrote a while back about Emily and Jordan’s wedding pictures. Here are some more photos from that day.

We had the pleasure of shooting Kylie and Matt’s wedding photos in July. It was a fun, action packed day for CJ, Laura, and me.  The wedding was at Homewood Suites, at the Waterfront in east Wichita. It was an amazing venue (with wonderful staff), and the rest of the decorations, ceremony, and reception matched.  All three of us are truly grateful that we got to be apart of it.

Between the three of us, we got some really nice stuff. Hopefully the photos live up to the wedding.  Since there are so many photos worth sharing, I’ll just share some of the group shots of the bridal party we took for now, with the intention of sharing more in the near future.
