Why You Should Consider Jim Folliard As Your Wedding Photographer

2009-08-31T10:00:00.000-04:00

Experience behind the camera usually results in photos that are above average. Combine a creative eye and an assortment of lenses and you get wedding photos that appeal to everyone. It is really an honor to be able to capture a day in which two families come together to support the bride and groom. The day usually goes by so fast, the food is eaten, the cake is cut, the flowers fade, but the images of the day will live on forever. If you choose to have a wedding and your budget is tight, cut back on everything else but the photographer and Get Gearshift... Congratulations to Jessica & Prentice on their wedding in Portland, OR on 8/29/09. Visit http://www.gearshift.tv/ for more samples.
