"An outside view of Charles Jablow photography - Not your typical photographer"

What is quality? Can this be described in art? Remember, if you are hiring a photographer to shoot a wedding, party or Bar Mitzvah, the photos taken are the memories that are going to have to last you forever, whether you like them or not.

Recently, I have had conversations with people on the street who've confessed that they were signing contracts to hire photographers who were good but not great...who were not their favorite picks, but their prices were so much less that their favorite choices, they could not resist the offer. Let me suggest a thought.

Photographs are not just memories. They are pictures of memories. They are pictures that will trigger the memories in your head years in the future. The art of picture taking stems around knowing your gear and cultivating the experience to be able to see an opportunity and take that photo when the exact moment arises. If the skill and experience is lacking and those moments are not captured, the memories of that second in time will either be lost or will fade over time. It's a big deal.

Now, I understand that in these rough economic times, it is critical natural to want to cut corners and shave costs wherever possible. However, let me ask you, what is more important, your wedding cake or the memories of the wedding? Although you need to decide that for yourself, my point is that without the ability for the memories of the occasion to last forever....and to share with others....what's the point of hiring a photographer in the first place?

Why am I singling out Charles Jablow Photography? Well, let's say that I have seen the work of CJP, and can tell you they are not ordinary. Charles is a great choice in photography. Way above average. Now, that's my opinion, but let me explain why I believe this to be true. He is reliable, he cares about his work, he know the great shots when he sees them, he is patient, he knows the technical of the camera and of lighting AND he knows how to photograph events where people move about spontaneously. Those are a lot of ingredients, and if all of these attributes are not present in a photographer, you work with them at great risk.

What happens if something goes wrong with the equipment during an event? What happens if the photographer brings the wrong camera? I've seen this happen with other photographers. Disaster can happen. Putting this in perspective, I am not saying that disaster will happen. I am saying that there are various degrees to what a disaster can be, and this can be as basic as not liking the photos taken. Unfortunately, by the time you find that out, after having saved some money by not hiring your first choice, you are stuck forever with memories that are OK but not great... and definitely not the pictures you were hoping for when you decided to hire a photographer in the first place.

Charles Jablow Photography is your assurance that everything will go well and that you will love your pictures and your album for a lifetime to come.
