Alisha Clark Photography

So we found our photographer! Here is a style-board I snagged from her blog while researching her. When I saw it and the many other style-boards, I thought to myself, wow she finds really nice reference imagery - must have pulled those from some sweet site or magazine. Then I realized, most of the style-boards on her site are her photography. dur!!

When it came to choosing a photographer, we both really like a photojournalist/storytelling approach to wedding photographer and I just found so many sites that were too posed and very flat looking.

When it came to Alisha Clark's imagery, everyone looked beautiful. Nothing looked dull, flat or ordinary. Even the most awkward of person looked brilliant and beautiful. I find her imagery very stunning. She captures a fleeting moment so well with so much depth, attention to detail and rich color and light.

I viewed tons of photographers proofs in the process and a great deal of photographers sites have fantastic picks in their galleries, but when it came to the proofs, most of the imagery fell flat. When looking through Alisha's imagery, I seriously got this incredible feeling in my stomach that I had to call her right now and book her. I just knew she was it. Turns out we were her last available date for 2009! Needless to say, I am super excited about her photographing our wedding.
