Chad Mitchell Photography: Nichols-Parod Wedding (Ceremony Only) |
 |
"I could go on for pages praising Chad's phenomenal work, but I'll try to condense it into a couple of paragraphs: First of all, Chad is affordable. Unlike some of the local photographers I researched who were charging up to $3000 for their services, Chad will work for less than $1000. That helps significantly, after trying to cover every other wedding expense! Secondly, Chad is not the typical businessman. After we had contacted Chad about our upcoming wedding, but before we had signed the contract to hire him, another couple tried to book him for the same date. They were willing to sign a contract that very night to seal the deal, but Chad made it very clear that my then-fiancé and I had "first dibs," since we had contacted him first. What a relief it was to know that we could trust him not to leave us hanging! Thirdly, Chad is accessible. He is receptive to e-mails and phone calls at home, and he is always quick to respond. What's more, he was often the one to contact me, just to touch base. That was reassuring! On our wedding day, Chad traveled all the way to Champaign from Forsyth and arrived at 8 a.m. for a pre-ceremony photo shoot. He was always very cheerful and flexible, willing to work around any last-minute schedule changes. That really took the stress off my shoulders! And during the ceremony itself, Chad was respectful of the chapel policies regarding when he could use flash and where he could walk, etc. And he was inconspicuous-we had many guests comment on how discreet he was when taking photos. For most of the ceremony, they didn't even notice he was there! It was wonderful for everyone to be able to focus on what was really important, without being distracted by the photographer. Kudos to Chad for reducing our wedding-day jitters and for so skillfully and artistically capturing the most precious moments of our lives!"
