Tara and Thomas “Less Is More” {Oklahoma City Wedding Photographers}

Tara contacted us about having a “small intimate wedding”, but with a big emphasis on style and photography. This is our second wedding we’ve shot this year, and in both cases the brides got it right… “less is more”.

Since the recession hit we’ve seen our clients adapt in very smart & savvy ways, getting what they want and cutting the fat for the wedding day. Our clients hire us for powerful images, and just because their budgets may change, the photography is something you can’t compromise on without regrets.

On the wedding day Tara mentioned “we have about a half hour, so now would be a great time for us to get some high fashion shots”.

This goes to show you, with the right planning we can help make any wedding, regardless of size, budget, attendance, translate into powerful photography for any client. Let us help you plan it girls, we can show you how to get more than you ever thought possible within your budget of time!

November Rain: How to have the wedding you want! {oklahoma wedding photographers}

Pay attention ladies, this is going to be one of the most important weddings you will read about all year.

Brent Patterson of Marianne’s was on a mission: show a bride how she could get the best of the best within the average Oklahoma wedding budget. With years of experience, and an inside track to the best talent pool of Oklahoma wedding vendors, Brent knew what could be accomplished if the bride & groom were willing to make some adjustments in their planning. By cutting down significantly on the guest list (as well as a few other tricks he can show you), a bride can end up with the wedding of her dreams instead of continually compromising on quality. So to kick off the 2010 season Brent pulled together some of the best wedding vendors in the state, along with one lucky bride & groom who were willing to go along with anything so that in the end they could have a wedding with everything!
