First of all, I have to say I’m sorry I haven’t updated my blog in a week or so but I’m back now! I wanted to share with you a great article on “The Secret Life of Wedding Photographers“. So many people out there right  now think it’s SOSOSO glamorous and easy and fun to be a wedding photographer! They will do your wedding for you for $200-$500 and claim they are becoming jetsetting millionaires (don’t I wish)!

I think this brief article helps to explain to our clients how much time (blood/sweat & tears) is REALLY invested in being a wedding photographer and in owning and operating a legal business. I can safely say each wedding we do has approximately 35-45 hours of work in it.

We have been in business for close to 12 years. I opened the doors of McGreevy-Marks Photography to provide a service that wasn’t available in my area at the time. Not that there weren’t other good photographers, but I wanted to set a standard of excellence and bring my own vision to the industry. To provide the very best to my clients I could find.

Because you see, a picture you hate is worthless….a picture you love is priceless.

Congratulations! What a terrific wedding. Thank you for trusting me to be a part of it in capturing your memories. For those who have asked during a consultation, “what if there is bad weather, etc”, I will refer you to Claire. We made it to Gas City, normally a 2 hour drive in about 3.5 hours due to snow and ice. We were only 10 minutes late!

McGreevy-Marks Photography will make it to your wedding, rain, sleet, snow, hail, (you get my drift?)

A few things that set McGreevy-Marks Photography apart are:

• Experience - we’ve been in the business 12 years and we aren’t going anywhere.
• Training and Education - Christy & Chris both have fine art degrees from BSU with a specialization in photography, in addition we are members of PPA, PPI, IPPG & ISPWP. Christy is a certified photographer. We are constantly striving to be better and learn. Who benefits from that? YOU do.
• Professional equipment and lighting. I joke that we shoot with the best cameras in the business (I’m not really joking - Nikon D3 is the best)
• We only offer the best quality prints and albums. period.
