After many years of work in the photographic industry their are still some things that boggle my mind, but the biggest of them all is, why would you have a less the quailified photographer for anything that you care so much about? I think it is incredibly sad when you see someone invest so much into a wedding for example, but instead of investing into the memories the photos will provide, they hire a family friend who got a camera 2 years ago for Christmas and they are now a photographer. And now with the extra money you saved you can afford that extra keg during the reception! But once they see the photos the friend provides, they have no quality images , and more than likely no friend either.

You need a photographer? Well here's something to think about. The best wedding photographer might in fact not like to photograph kids. The best children's photographer might be affraid of dogs, or allergic to your cat. Are you planning a destination wedding? We recommend you bring your own photographer, but which photographers have a current passport and are willing to travel? Every photographer has his or her area of expertise, Iowaphotography.com is a showcase of photographic talent in the state of Iowa.
