Note from a Texas
bride to a new bride....
Ilissa,
I am happy to answer any of your questions and
am glad that you have taken the time to contact
me.
Glen was truly one of the best decisions that
I made regarding my wedding. When I found his
work, I knew right away that I had to have him
and we were able to work out the details quickly
and easily.
Glen and I did not communicate a lot before the
wedding. When ever I would contact him, he would
always respond right away but we just set it up
– made the date and it was “a go”
after that.
He collected ½ my payment up front, to
hold the date and the second ½ right before
the event. Now I have to tell you, I usually would
not do a thing like that (pay for services in
advance) but I truly did trust him and wanted
to make sure that I could secure him for my wedding.
Well, all went off as planned without a hitch.
We were married just 2 months ago in Marathon
Texas. (Glen likes to do destination weddings,
and since he has some family in Texas he was able
to visit them as well!)
(I have a website about my wedding – there
are no wedding pictures there…yet, but if
you want to look it is www.keithandtricia.info)
My destination was a place called the Gage Hotel.
And although it was not like being at a big island
somewhere, it was remote and there was a lot of
travel involved to get out there. I called him
the week of the event, made sure he had no other
questions, explained what my expectations were
(what time, where to meet, how to get in touch
with me) and left for west Texas to get ready
for the big day.
Glen was perfect, showed up on time, exceeded
all my expectations, and seemed really interested
in making sure he was getting the shots I wanted.
He was always right there for the “big stuff.”
I had a list of specific group shots that I wanted
and we took those, but the rest was left up to
his creative eye and imagination.
He is not a “POSE NOW” photographer.
What you get is just like you see on his website.
I did not want a ton of group photos and posed
pictures. (If there are some you want, just let
him know) but he does not line you up, move you
to the right position and make sure everyone’s
head is tilted in the right way. He shoots what
he sees and what you will want to see for the
rest of your days...
My pictures though, are AMAZING. He was able to
capture all the joy and emotion of my event, with
a style that is rarely seen. He was very participatory
but also very laid back. Most of the time, I forgot
he was there!! I spent more time with Glen the
day of my wedding than I did with my groom, and
I felt very comfortable with him. We chatted alot
and he is very nice and easy to get along with.
I have not had an album made yet – but since
you get a high resolution copy of your photos,
the options truly are endless. I love the hardcover
books that he offers on the website, but I just
got my disc about 10 days ago and there are so
many pictures to choose from it is really hard
to decide which ones. Over 90 percent of the photos
he took were beautiful and technically perfect.
As you know - the pictures we like best of the
ones that show us in our best light, and he did
exactly that. I truly truly would not change a
thing – he gave me so much more than I ever
expected or dreamed. And he did it at what I would
call a very fair price.
The one thing I would say is this. After the wedding,
you only have two things that truly live on forever,
your ring and your pictures. Get the best photographer
you can find (sometimes that does not mean the
most expensive) someone who’s work you appreciate
as an art form and someone you trust. It is a
little more difficult to get to know him, because
you don’t get to meet him face to face,
but I trusted glen with my photographs and I have
never, not once - regretted that decision.
Best of luck to you on your big day! I will try
to forward some quick shots of my wedding in a
little while so you can look at a couple of the
pictures that have meant so much to me…
Sincerely,
Tricia Dalton (McGee)
