mystic shoot the cake wedding photography

Summer is quickly passing us by as we head into August. The 2010 wedding season isn’t quite over, and we still have our hands full with upcoming shoots. I just recently went on my first shoot with mystic shoot the cake, and thought I would share a little of my experience.

My job is to take “detail shots.” This means my camera gets filled to the brim with pictures of bouquets, gifts, decorations, centerpieces, flowers, shoes, sashes, boutonnieres, invitations, programs, the cake and of course, the rings. This is why having a team of photographers is so great. At the end of the day, our lead photographers have all the formal shots and images of the bride and groom throughout their entire day. These are usually the images you would have framed to remember your special day.

Where do my photographs come in? In the Wedding Album! It’s true what people say, you tend to miss some of the details of your own wedding. Having images of your rings, cake or venue gives the album the same ambiance of the day itself. That way, each time you or your family opens the album, it is like reliving a piece of your most special day. It’s something I most enjoy about detail photographs.

I can’t count how many times I have heard someone say, “The day just went by so fast and I feel like it is hard to remember everything”. This is why your wedding day photography is one of the single most important investments you can make for your wedding. In this day and age of drive-thrus and one hour photos, customer service as well as custom service is something that is getting harder and harder to find.

Here at mystic shoot the cake, we believe that a custom photography experience is essential in recreating all the occurrences and emotion of your special event. In order to customize your day, we provide a team of photographers for every wedding we photograph. You’re not getting two or three “back-up” photographers just in case. We are a team of artists, each with a distinct style, constantly at the ready. Having a team of photographers allows us to capture all angles and aspects of every situation that we are presented with throughout the day.

When we asked the New London Day to help us get the word out about what we were up to at Mystic Shoot the Cake Wedding Photography we knew it was a challenge. As it turned out Katie Warchut, was able to grasp our vision and tell our story. We have had many inquiries regarding upcoming Mystic CT weddings and an increased overall interest in Imagery Learning (our wedding photography apprenticeship program).
