Best Wedding Photographer in Mobile Alabama

Artie Rawls Photography has over 20 years experience photographing weddings and bridal portraits in
Mobile Alabama. Even though he is located in Hattiesburg Mississippi only 1.5 hours from Mobile Alabama he manages to photograph several weddings in Mobile, Alabama and other cities in Alabama.
In 2007 he was the photographer of the year for Alabama and Mississippi. His work is truthful, creative and tells a  story along with the emotion expressed that day. Many new photographers try and look trendy
by losing detail in their photographs and not using any lighting to control the beautiful tones that exist. Not using any lighting other than natural has its negative effects like raccoon eyes, flat tones, blown out whites
off color and blown out backgrounds. They often use too many filters and tilting of the camera to cover
up their lack of knowledge to control the lighting in any situation. This trend will be out of style in a couple of  years and will not stand the test of time as timeless wedding photography. Many of the new photographers think that providing two photographers will increase the quality of the wedding photography
coverage. Contrary to popular belief all it takes is one great photgrapher instead of two mediocre ones.
The last thing is giving the bride  a DVD of the images and possibly the kitchen sink. This is not a great idea
but used by beginners to try and land work and not have to do much editing of their photographs. Photographers should be charging enough and selling photographs and other products like albums and not shoot and burn.
