<p style="text-align: center;">My journey as a professional photographer has taught me that creating lasting memories goes beyond clicking the shutter. It's about capturing love, joy, and the subtle nuances that define our lives. And when it comes to weddings, these moments are priceless. This is why hiring a professional photographer for your wedding is so essential.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A professional brings expertise and a keen eye for detail, something that's indispensable in wedding photography. We understand the importance of capturing the magic in every moment - the look of love shared between the couple, the laughter of the guests, the beauty of the venue. More than that, we know how to frame these moments in a way that tells your unique love story.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">One of the key aspects that sets a professional apart from an amateur is our ability to put people at ease. Weddings can be stressful, and it's common for people to feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. As professionals, we're experienced in handling these situations. We create a relaxed environment that allows everyone to be themselves, which results in natural, authentic photos.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Another advantage of hiring a professional is the quality of the photos themselves. With high-end equipment and extensive knowledge of lighting and editing techniques, a professional photographer can deliver stunning images that stand the test of time. These aren't just photos; they're keepsakes that you'll treasure for a lifetime.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In conclusion, a professional photographer brings more than just technical skills to your wedding. We bring a level of care, dedication, and passion that can't be replicated. We understand the gravity of our role - we're not just taking pictures; we're capturing memories that will be cherished for generations to come. It's an honor and a responsibility that I, and my fellow professionals, take very seriously.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">5. Bridesmaids and Bouquets</h3>

Top 7 Photo Ideas With Your Bridesmaids

<p style="text-align: center;">Trust is the super-secret ingredient to any relationship and this is true for the relationship you have with your&nbsp;<strong><em>engagement photographer.</em></strong>&nbsp;There&rsquo;s a reason you chose them to capture the most important day of your life. While you may have a vision of how you want some of your images to turn out, for the most part, you are going to have to put a lot of trust in your photographer.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Trusting Your Engagement Photographer Will Result in Better Engagement Photos</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Trusting your engagement photographer a little more in these main areas will not only result in better images for you to remember your big day but will also relieve you of some stress as well.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">1. The Most Flattering Poses For You</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Trust your engagement photographer to know what pose is the most flattering for you. They can see how the light is shaping you and what specific details are in the background. While some photographers will take into consideration your picture ideas, you shouldn&rsquo;t be offended if they explain why that may not look as good.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">2. Choosing the Location of the Shot</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Your engagement photographer will have taken the time to familiarize themselves with your location or areas around your session spot to find the best places to photograph. They&rsquo;ll know where gets the best light and where the best scenery will create timeless photographs.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">3. Handling Printing Your Photos</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Your photographer knows where to get prints made and probably has a long-term relationship with a reputable printing company. The worst thing you can do is have a stunning image, order a large print and find the colors are off, the image is blurred or it simply looks dull. Knowing where to get your prints made, what size they should be done in and which ones will look best in your albums, wall art or thank you cards is part of the package you get when you hired a professional photographer. Trust them and listen to what they think will look best for what you want. They spend large amounts of time practicing and studying the art of print.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">4. Time of Day to Shoot</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lighting is key (it&rsquo;s undoubtedly the most important) to creating beautiful images, and using the natural light of the sun will produce the best lighting setting. That of course doesn&rsquo;t mean any time of the day will give you the same results. Your photographer will know what time of day will be best to take those gorgeous outdoor shots that won&rsquo;t leave harsh shadows on your face or when to sneak outside to take some night inspired shots. Understanding light from the sun, and especially how to create it with a flash is something you&rsquo;ll want to make sure your photographer is comfortable with.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">5. Editing Your Photos</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Trust your photographer&rsquo;s creative eye during the editing process. They will know which images will look best in black and white, color, cropped, and which ones to add special effects too if any. Part of the editing process is a part of their style and this is one of the reasons you hired them. Trust them to use their skills to make each image stunning.</p>

5 Things You Should Trust Your Engagement Photographer With

Here's to timeless photography with a shower of romance and a strike of passion

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chris! I was always a big believer that everything happens for a reason and working with him proved that to be true. I plan weddings for a living and when it was time to plan my own I originally booked another photographer. Well, thanks to covid we ended up postponing twice and ended up with a date that our first photographer wasn’t available for. Enter Chris! I had worked a wedding with him a couple years prior and was so impressed with his professionalism, easy going personality, and of course the beautiful photos that he took- that I knew he was the right photographer for us. If you are looking for a photographer who takes stunning photos and is an absolute pleasure to work with- look no further!

My husband and I both full heartedly agree that choosing Photography Stiles was our best wedding planning decision. From the very first phone call with Chris, he was so kind and so focused. In person, his laid back energy immediately calmed us during our engagement session. (Which was SO much fun.) On our wedding day he was beyond amazing. Chris, and his second shooter Jen beautifully captured every moment of that long, and special day, while also helping to coordinate the entire time! So grateful for the extra care and effort they both put in to help ensure everything went smooth.We SO highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, personable, hardworking, beyond amazing photographer.

"My first obsession was weather. (Okay, and current. Catch me geeking out over winter snowstorms.) Yet as my career shifted away from meteorology, I realized the 9-5 wasn’t for me. I’d always been drawn to photography, but mostly of the sky. So how’d I get here? Everything changed when my friend printed and framed a portrait I took of his family. So often, you snap a pic and move on. Yet he had taken that extra step to make sure he remembered, and it moved me deeply.
For my friend, his girls had already grown a bit. Yet that fleeting stage of childhood lived on thanks to something I did.  

That was the moment I realized I’d found my new obsession, something that could fill me with as much passion as weather. I’ve photographed couples in love ever since."
