A professional wedding photographer
will arrive promptly to your wedding and get your photos back to you
within a timely matter. A professional will dress appropriately and
have the right equipment ensuring your precious moments will be captured.
A professional photography lab will be used to get maximum quality,
color and exposure so that you receive the best results possible. Finally
a professional will be at ease in high stress situations, they will
be able to blend in with the crowd and not distract from you, and they
will be able to handle change without worry.
1. Hire a professionally trained quality photographer you trust.
Don't be tempted to hire students who do wedding photography on
the side. Find a photographer who's work you love. It won't matter
how much you save if you wind up with bad photo's or no photo's
at all.
2. If you are having your wedding outside during the day have the
ceremony in the shade. Sun light is least flattering mid day, and
is more appealing in the early morning or late afternoon/early evening.
The mere word can strike fear into a person's heart.
That's funny because contracts are designed to protect people. It is
in your benefit to make sure there will be a contract, and you should
ask for your own copy. Compare it to other companies' contracts. If
your photographer is legitimate they should have no problem with this.
If you don't feel comfortable with your photographers contract or you
don't understand it, be sure to ask questions. You should feel comfortable
with your wedding photographer.
Our wedding contract is designed to protect our customers as well as
ourselves. It insures our dedication to your wedding date. What happens
if your photographer becomes seriously ill or suffers an injury the
day before your wedding day? Does your wedding contract insure you an
appropriate replacement photographer? Ours does.
I love shooting weddings! That
sounds cheesy right? But it's true, I literally count down the days
until the film gets developed. Unlike many studios, I personally photograph
every wedding, so you know that you'll receive the same high quality
photography at your wedding. All of our packages include the negatives
or digital files without an extra fee. Also we have invested in all
the equipment - film cameras, high-end professional digital cameras,
portable studio lighting, etc. - so that you get the best possible photographs
under virtually any conditions.
In 2007 Robyn Malter Photography moved from sunny Santa Barbara to the heart of San Francisco!
However, that has not stopped the couples who were
simply elated with our photography from referring us to their friends.
We love visiting that part of California anyway, so we are willing to
commute any where along the coast from San Francisco to San Diego.
Having your wedding in
an exotic location?
Ask us about it, we love to travel!
When you are signing your contract,
either include a shot list or discuss one with us. This lets us know
what photographs or moments are important to you. Also, go over the
timeline of your event with us. Discuss how much time you’re willing
to spend on posed or formal shots on your big day, if you don’t
want to spend a lot of time on formal shots then perhaps a little trimming
on your shot list is in order. But do plan on spending some time with
your photographer to get your formal shots taken.
How much time we spend at your
wedding depends on you and what kind of coverage you want.
Our packages include enough time
(six hours) to cover
The Bride and Groom getting ready
The Ceremony
The Reception, Cake Cutting and the Garter
and Bouquet toss
with time for formal portraits between
The Ceremony and the Reception
However, we understand that every wedding is different and that where
some couples want pictures of everything others find that intrusive.
We will sit down with you and get a feel for what kind of pictures you
want to have and can adjust your package accordingly.
Robyn Malter and her partner
Shalaco Sching will be the photographers shooting your wedding or event.
We have years of experience shooting with each other which allows us
to work seamlessly together. We believe in building relationships and
trust with our customers. Because weddings are intimate occasions, we
want you to feel safe knowing that you can trust us to be there for
you. When you work with Robyn Malter Photography, you won’t have
to worry about a strange photographer showing up the day of your event.
That is up to you. We let you decide if we shoot color, black and white,
sepia, or black and white with a touch of color. We find most people prefer
a combination of all of the above.
As far as quality is concerned the difference is only noticeable to the
trained eye. Film allows the user more error flexibility with exposure and lighting.
Digital cameras are more precise and technically demanding. We can use either professional digital or film cameras.
We shoot a combination of both formal and candid photography.
A style that is commonly called Photojournalistic Photography.
This gives your wedding a timeless look.
We come from fine arts and photojournalist backgrounds.
Our versatility in styles works well to compliment any wedding or event
in a timeless fashion. We pride ourselves on our range of styles and
will sit down with you to get a feel for how you want to remember your
special day.
A second photographer can catch moments that would
otherwise be overlooked by the main photographer. They pay attention
to detail and capture candid moments while the main photographer shoots
the event. This allows for a well-rounded coverage of your special day,
for example: while the main photographer takes pictures of the bride
getting ready, the second photographer is free to focus on the groom
preparing for the wedding.
