The First Look | The Ten Minute Rule
Traverse City Wedding Photographers, Dan and Melissa. We love celebrating weddings and capturing the details and moments that make your day so special. We don’t just strive to create amazing artwork, we want to provide an unforgettable experience. We absolutely LOVE getting to know our couples and building lasting friendships. We don’t book weddings with just anyone who wants to pay a retainer. We want to make certain that we are the right wedding photographers for you. If you are totally traditional and like a bunch of formally posed wedding pictures and no fun, laughing, loving, giggling, romantic, candid, joyful, goofing off photos we may not be the right photographers for you. Don’t get us wrong, we always grab a few formal shots, but that is not what we are all about. As your wedding photographers we want to celebrate with you and join in all those great moments. We are always on the lookout for memorable moments. The loving touch, the flirtatious smirk, the romantic stare, the heartfelt kiss, the emotional tears, those are the beautiful moments we are always looking for. If we were loud and belligerent, always telling you what to do we wouldn’t get to see any of the real you. We LOVE the real you, so we want to get to know you and be awesome friends. Then it seems like we are just old friends hanging out snapping a few shots on your wedding day (even though there’s a lot more to it than that).

Our Experience With Our Wedding Photographers
On our wedding day our wedding photographer made us very uncomfortable. He was very unprofessional and didn’t show up on time. He was really overbearing and gloomy. It probably didn’t help he was a homicide detective during the week and a wedding photographer on the weekends. He was investigating a murder late the night before our wedding (probably why he was gloomy). He tried to control everything rather than just celebrating with us. We are NOT like that at all! We love to have a blast and laugh with our couples. We are there to celebrate your wedding day with you and we want it to be even more fun because we are there.
