When I read my e-mails and saw that my blog has been selected as a top 40 wedding blog, I was excited. What did I do the deserve this honor? Over the past two years I have been hard at work, writing content that I felt anyone planning a wedding would find helpful. Of course I wanted to feature my best images, and include the wide range of picture styles I deliver. Like any photographer, I'm an equipment freak. Check out my recent article on Kick-Ass on camera flashes. On my blog I include articles on subjects such as, making a wedding photography timeline and wedding album information, I also do my best to show weddings from as many wedding venues as possible. Sometimes couples are looking to be inspired, and search for The best wedding photographer in South Florida. For these people I have several picture galleries.

From time to time I receive calls from couples asking about where a certain picture was taken or what is it like to work at a particular venue. In addition engaged couples will get idea's for pictures.
The decision for my website / blog to make the top 40 was also influenced by how often I add new and interesting articles. Working as a busy South Florida wedding photographer, I find that it's sometimes difficult to find the time to post every week. However, I try to keep my articles fresh and include new pictures and stories on a regular basis.
I also make it a point to keep my social media activity current by posing almost every day. My social site of choice is Instagram. If you click the link you will see all the unique images I have produced. Don't forget to follow me. I also post to Facebook and what wedding photographer doesn't post to Pinterest?

Creating beautiful images is what I do best. The rising and setting sun, with an ocean view is the perfect place to created picturesque imagery. Of course the beach is not the only place in South Florida to take pictures. Many of my favorite pictures have been captured at country clubs, far from the ocean. I have have also captures images along the Intercoastal water way, in downtown Miami, and on Florida's west coast. I have found that wedding photography in South Florida consists of a wide range of looks and this wide variety of options always keeps taking wedding images interesting and fun.
As a South Florida wedding photographer, I think you would be hard pressed to find someone who has the experience and education that I have obtained. Starting with a BA in Communications and photography, I learned my craft on a college university level. However, it's when I moved to Los Angeles, that I really learned photography. Once in Los Angeles, I learned photography and wedding photography from some of the most famous photographers in the world. My teachers included the famous Herb Ritz, Gary Bernstein and others. I also, attended classed at UCLA and the Kodak center for professional photographers. Check out the About Jeff section to learn more about my career.
If you are recently engaged, Congratulations! Here are some tips to help you choose the best South Florida wedding photographer for you.
First - When looking at the work of South Florida wedding photographers online, consider the fact that all photographers, including myself, are only going to show their best work. With that said, how do you know what all the other wedding images look like? There is an easy way to find out, Check the photographers online gallery. Most wedding photographers share the finished pictures by using a password protected online gallery. By getting the login and password, you can view all the pictures that get delivered to the couple.
Second - Do an engagement photo session. I have had couples tell me that they fired their photographer once they did the engagement session. When I asked why, the number one reason, of course was, we didn't like to pictures. Why didn't they like them? They didn't like them because the photographer never posed them, or told them what to do. You can learn a lot about your potential photographer by doing an engagement session.
Third - Read reviews, almost every well known South Florida wedding photographer has received reviews from past clients. While it's possible that a photographer can ask friends to leave reviews, the chances of receiving a wide range of reviews from friends is less likely. If you read my reviews, you will see references to my other staff photographers, how we handle various situations, video and albums. On my website, I have reviews posted at the bottom of my home page gallery and my wedding gallery. Of course you can always check my Wedding Wire reviews.
