Wedding Photography

You’re planning your northern New Mexico elopement or wedding ceremony and you need to line up vendors from afar. Where to start? Who to trust? In one area I’m confident I can help you – photography. Not only can I recommend Poetic Images for your wedding photography in the Taos area, I’d like to offer observations on why it is worthwhile to spend the money to have a professional photographer.

SpiriTaos elopement

As a Taos marriage officiant I can tell you I’ve seen many photographers at work. When family members are asked to do the photography, they lack the experience to grab so many of the fun candid shots that a professional knows to anticipate. A professional will also have a number of tricks up their sleeve to elicit smiles – especially from kids – and to make sure smiles are captured even when you are stressing. Deanna, of Poetic Images, has one of those infectious personalities that engages you and you’ll find yourself smiling with ease. She’ll notice and straighten a crooked tie, fix an errant strand of hair and make sure your flowers are featured in your posed shots. I have noticed repeatedly how quickly people adapt, with ease, to having Deanna present.

Deanna has worked extensively in northern New Mexico and having a professional photographer that understands the unique seasonal lighting in the area will help assure quality photos. She’s a master of seeing photographic opportunities where you might only see a blank wall. The light in Taos is enchanted and it takes a professional to capture that magic.

Whether you have posed shots taken before or after your wedding ceremony, you’ll benefit from innovation and fun with Deanna. Her experience translates into a variety of shots and she articulates carefully to help you strike your poses. Unless you’re a professional model, you’re probably not accustomed to getting in specific poses! Deanna is very creative and it’s a great way for newlyweds to practice working together!

So if you’re seeking a wedding photographer, look no further than Deanna at Poetic Images! http://poeticimagesbydeanna.com
