If your goal is to find a professional wedding photographer in the Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe or Chandler areas, you have come to the right place. We offer wedding photography valleywide. The Smiling Bride is in business to take wedding photographs that result in happy brides.

Your wedding day is fleeting……..at least it seems that way after all of the months of planning. The payoff for all of your planning is a wonderful day that you will always remember. The memories of that wonderful day, and the many details that will make your wedding day unique, will only exist in your mind’s eye and in your wedding photographs. Don’t trust those extraordinarily important images to an amateur; hire experience.

K. Richard Douglas has been photographing weddings for a very long time. One thing that can be said for experience is that you learn a lot. Every detail, every nuance, every effort that goes into your wedding day is noticed by Richard, and captured by his camera. Experience allows him to exercise this ritual, and that experience benefits you with breathtaking images.

"I'm not happy unless the bride and groom are thrilled with their wedding photographs. I usually hear from the mother of the bride or groom, when their images are available, that they can't believe how thorough I am. Attention to detail comes with experience. That experience can only come from photographing LOTS of weddings. Make sure you hire a pro. You will be glad you did. There's no chance to 're-take' your wedding photos" -Richard

The spring wedding season is straight ahead

March 29, 2008 – 9:47 pm

The Fall wedding season will be just around the corner and already pre-planning is in full swing. Brides are choosing venues, dresses, caterers and photographers to be fully prepared when the blistering summer ends and their wedding day is within sight.

Brides should have a photographer picked out by now. If not, there’s not much time, since professional photographer’s schedules fill up well in advance of the actual wedding date. Brides should look for someone with lots of real experience. Don’t hire the weekend snap-shooter who only photographed his niece’s wedding. This is not the time to have someone experimenting with your wedding pictures.

Arrangements with your venue should be finalized also. If not, get on the phone with the banquet or catering manager and get the details hammered out now. The better venues have their space reserved well in advance. This goes for the better caterers, florists and wedding coordinators also. Early is better.
