Ever wonder how those Golden Globe nominees look so awesome on the red carpet? Well, other than the entourage of makeup artists, hair stylists as well personal trainers. (Tune in to upcoming blog post about those as well!) It’s all about the photography! Photographers are crucial to how a celebrity is perceived and branded in today’s marketplace. A good photographer can be the difference from a mediocre star, to one that is projected as a mega-star to the naked eye.

As a fabulous gorgeous blushing bride, wouldn’t you want the same for you on your special day?? Here is the first of a series of downright awesome and super nice photographers that can really capture that glow on your day! So here they are in no particular order….

1.) Jasmine Star- Seriously, I think this woman is fantabulous! She has amazing images, an endlessly entertaining blog, a perfect soulmate, and did I mention she is seriously a sweet person????I have seen her in person and she is always so helpful to fellow photographers that are just starting out. As an endless perfectionist in search of that perfect wedding moment she can capture, she is definitely one of my faves. Click on the images below to go to her site.

2.) Jessica Claire- Seriously another really sweet photographer and a newlywed herself! She is AMAZING and does some really awesome shots of brides. I have seen her in person, and again, one of the nicest people you’d ever meet.  Check out her site be ready to let your jaw drop….

3.) Chenin Boutwell- Boutwell Studio. As a former dynamic duo photography team, Chenin has definitely made her mark in the bridal industry. She was one of the first blog stalking victims I had, as I love all of her blog posts and images.  She is really inspiring…

4.) Becker Photography- Becker is amazing. His insight and amazing eye for detail are hard to come by. He has an infectious personality and his images scream “put me in a magazine now!” He has a school for upcoming photographers called the B school. I have heard nothing but raves about it. I love reading his blog posts where his sense of humor are definitely conveyed. Again, his images are amazing. You really need to check him out!

5.) Michael Norwood photography- Another awesome photographer. I guess I am partial to him because he is also a graphic designer and understands the frustration of being to get good images at times. He has amazing photos and a beautiful blog. Check him out!
