Our studio mascot, Suzy, has been published! Her picture has been used in a new book, Canon DSLR: The Ultimate Photographer’s Guide, by Chris Grey. Suzy is now full grown, a perfect 13 pound bundle of fun, just the right size to work with little kids. She likes to climb on Jeff’s back when he is lying on the floor shooting babies, and she has endless patience with toddlers. Everyone loves a puppy, and Suzy is our “secret weapon” to get children happy. Now that she has been published, she is the most famous dog we know!

Check out our website. Then go to some websites from other photographers, and look closely at the samples. Are they sharp, with good color, and nice composition? Do they tell the story of the wedding?
Â
If you can’t tell the difference, then you might as well go for the cheapest photography you can find. But when you look at photographers, consider why it makes sense to talk to us:
Â
1.  Wedding photography is one of the most difficult types of photography. It requires mastery of your equipment under fast-changing circumstances and different lighting situations. You have to get it right the first time. There is no second chance.
2.  We are a well-established, professional studio, not a part-time job or a wedding gift from an uncle. We have shot hundreds of weddings, and we understand the flow of the day. We’ll get the shot.
3.  We want to give you what you want. Traditional and photo-journalistic, color and black & white. Lots of pictures. A friendly, experienced photographer who will give you beautiful pictures, without disrupting your day. We recognize that the photographs are about the wedding, not the other way around.
Â
When “good enough†won’t do, Southern Light is the perfect photographer for your wedding.
