It’s that time of year when I’m in full on booking mode for the upcoming wedding season. It’s always exciting to meet with the people I’ll be working closely with in the upcoming year!

The most common question I receive from new clients is “What makes you different from other wedding photographers?” I’ve always had my own answer to this question, but I started wondering what my clients would say. Earlier this month, I posted to Instagram and asked my clients why they ultimately decided to hire me. Their responses truly blew me away!

I’m sharing them here. Every single one. Thank you again to every Artistrie client who shared their words! To any newly engaged couples considering working together, I hope these responses will help you decide if I might be a good fit for you.
