Shamma96 - question about your photographer

Shamma
Did you use a photojournalistic photographer? We have been looking at both traditional & photojournalistic work, and while we like the B&W effect the pj wourk is ver grainy. Yours looks like what we are looking for, so I'm just curious. I'm starting to think that we should have the traditional photographer shoot more B&W that color and forget the pj.
Thanks
Helen

Re: Shamma96 - question about your photographer

I'm actually using the same photographer as Shamma - Imagine Studios. They are amazing. Lia does the photography and her husband, Nelson, does video. Lia is awesome - we already had our engagement shoot with her and the pictures came out great. The b&w's are definitely my favorite. She has a very artistic style but can do traditional as well. They are definitely worth checking out -

Re: Shamma96 - question about your photographer

Are you using photojournalism, or just more B&W than color? I think we should call them. Their address is not on the website. Do you know where their offices are ?

Helen, my photographer has the style of a photojournalist, but she can shoot traditional as well. You can contact her to see if she fits in to what you are looking for. All the best to you and Happy Planning

Re: Shamma96 - question about your photographer

I'm just letting Lia do her own thing - I love her style. I didn't realy specifically ask for Photojournalism - I did ask for more b&w's than color's. The b&w's seem to have much more character.
Check out their website - www.imaginestudios.net.
It will give you a good idea of their work -

Re: Shamma96 - question about your photographer

We spoke to Nelson, and although they are booked, my FH is meeting with Paula, who works with them, and if he likes the work, I'll go too.

Re: Shamma96 - question about your photographer

Helen please let us know the outcome. Thanks. I think Paula was the young lady that was the 2nd photographer at our wedding shooting some of the b&w. She did a fantastic job!!!
