The Bride and Groom’s most Popular Questions

Q: How do I know that it will be you that will be doing the photography?
A: I photograph all of my Weddings. With only one exception: If I am already booked for the date you want and you still want to work with Landers Photography anyway, we can arrange for another photographer. We would still oversee everything they do.

Q: I would like some ideas for engagement photo locations. We want to come up with some ideas for places we think would be good to have our engagement photos made, and we're stumped. We'd like our photos to be a reflection of us.
A: That is an important question! When a couple visits me at my studio to discuss this, I ask them "What is most important to you about your engagement portrait?" Then I'm silent while they answer. They tell me things like, "we want to look like we are in love," "We want to look our best," "We want beautiful, truly meaningful photographs," and lots of other things. The answers to these questions are the answer to yours. In knowing what you want for your photographs, you can more easily choose the location. Begin with the end in mind.

Is there a location that has an emotional tie to you both? The place where the question was popped? Is there a place that you frequent? Where was your first date? First kiss? Where were you the moment you knew you were in love?

Your photograph needs not only to be a beautiful representation of you and your love, but have an emotional connection and a story.


Q: Are there different degrees of coverage that you provide for a wedding? What is
included in each? How much does it cost?
