Vendor Visit: BorterWagner Photography

A week or so ago I sent out a quick "teaser card" to some area vendors I've been wanting to meet and learn more about, inviting them to contact me if they're interested in sharing their business with me, or learning more about my business. I'm looking forward to posting the good (and bad) as I come across it.

This afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting with Tina Wagner & Johnny Borter of Borter Wagner Photography. I had a chance to visit their New Buffalo studio (they also have one in Chicago) and not only look through their pictures (which are absolutely amazing) but also get to know them, and understand what they stand for as professionals. After an hour with them, it was evident that they are nothing short of some of the most passionate artists I have ever met.

They take their job as photographers very seriously, and are very dedicated to serving brides on their wedding day. Here is how they describe their style: "A mix of old school and new school, to create the school." Meaning, they embrace the finer points of traditional photography, along with digital photography, to create a unique "cinematic" style that captures the moment, and also captures and enhances light to make images truly amazing. I admit, I feel like I had a short tutorial on some of the finer points of photography today, and also got more insider advice on working in the wedding industry, which I very much appreciated! I am very excited to meet more area vendors in person to better serve my brides and meet their particular styles, and will keep everyone posted! If you have any particular favorites, leave a comment and we'll check them out!

If you're looking for a photographer (or just love art and beautiful imagery), check out their website, and if you're in the area, visit their studio in downtown New Buffalo.

Also, I discovered in my meeting with them, that the very beautiful photo I had posted of the Blue Dress Barn in my previous post was taken by BorterWagner (I didn't know--very embarassing!) on behalf of the Blue Dress Barn. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out---it's a beautiful photo, and a beautiful building.
