You are about to have your first meeting with a wedding photographer, but honestly, you’re just trying to check off another vendor on the list. To you, this whole process hasn’t exactly been enjoyable.

You think about how much you want your friends and family to enjoy the ceremony, the decoration, the food. You want everything to run smoothly, and the moment the wedding is over, you’re ready to put the stress behind you. A few weeks later, you finally receive your wedding photos. You open the gallery and…

This is the moment you realize: the flowers have wilted, the music has stopped, the food is gone — but the photos are what bring it all back to life.

That’s when you see the difference between an expense and an investment.

Flowers, food, and decor are expenses — they serve their purpose for a day. Photography is an investment — it only grows in value with time. A year from now, you’ll relive the joy. Ten years from now, you’ll notice the little details. Twenty years from now, those photos may be in your children’s hands, telling the story of where it all began.

Couples rarely regret investing in photography, but they often regret cutting corners. Because no one ever says, “I wish I had fewer memories from my wedding.”

So when you think about photography, don’t just see it as another line on the budget. See it as the way you’ll hold onto the memories you’ve worked so hard to create.

This is the value of photography.
