There are plenty of reasons to take pictures. Capturing a life event is one of the most important, and having someone there to capture your wedding day in all it"s glory is almost essential. Not only do you want to make sure that you get every part of your wedding ceremony captured on film, but you also want to ensure that the parts of your wedding that you may have missed are memorialized as well. Even though you could get a lot of these pictures yourself, a professional photography crew will be able to pick the right spots to get those essential pictures and they will also work with you to get some great staged pictures that friends and family members have likely already asked you for. Do you need pictures with the bride"s family or extended family? Not only will they make this happen, but they will take pictures that look great and that will help retain the memory of your special day.

Some people question whether or not you even need a photographer, especially with the number of smartphones that will be at your wedding. Even with the number of pictures being taken by your guests, the answer is still yes, you do need a photographer at your wedding. The reason is simple; you can"t go back and "try again" to get good photos, and the last thing that you want is to miss a special moment because all the pictures that were taken were too washed out or low quality. A wedding photographer has the technology and the skill the make sure that this doesn"t happen, and they will work with you ahead of time to make sure that they are in the right places for all of your special photos.

The problem is that you can"t just go to any NY wedding photographer for your wedding photos, and you don"t want to either. You want someone who has experience with shooting a wedding, and who can work with you to make sure that it"s captured from every angle. One example of a professional photography team is Moonmate Pictures. Not only do they have the experience, but they also have years of shooting weddings under their belt, and they offer a number of packages to make getting started easy. Obviously you can always customize those packages, but having the option to choose a package of shots for your wedding gives you a few different options, from simple to complex, for almost any budget.
