New Packages for Brides on a Budget!!!

We know how how important hiring a QUALITY Wedding Photographer is. The flowers fade, the dresses go back in the closet and the cake gets eaten, but the photos will last forever. It is important that you hire a photographer that is experienced, knowledgeable of all conditions, has the correct equipment and can capture romance and story of the day. The problem is that these photographers are expensive. Because of their experience, skill, equipment and style, they are in high demand. There are photographers out there that will shoot you wedding for $1500, $1000, or even $500. But, I GUARANTEE they charge that much because they can't charge more. Because they don't have experience, they don't have the right equipment and they don't have the skill to take quality pictures for you.

So what do you do? You need a quality photographer but they are all out of your budget!

Gardner Photography is one of the best, experienced, Wedding Photographers in the Bay Area. We have the skill, the equipment and the style you need for your wedding. While our standard packages range from$2395-3995, we are now offering packages specially designed for Brides on a budget.

WEDDING | Wil & Maria

Wil called us to shoot his wedding only 3 weeks prior to the big day. Luckily, we were actually available! Wil & Maria are such a fun couple and we had so much fun shooting with them. This was a traditional Afghan wedding in Fremont California at the Diamond Palace, accompanied by only 750 of their closest friends & family. Yes, 750, give or take a few. The hall was beautifully designed with many details and the guests came dressed in their best dresses and suits. Wil & Maria came by the Studio a few weeks after the wedding for an extra Bridal Portrait Session. Please enjoy the images below from both shoots!

Wil & Maria are always known to their friends for eating fast food. They said it seems like they always are munching on fries or a burger. So why were we not surprised when they showed up at our studio with some?! We definitely had to include it in the shoot.
