About

My name is Gerald Donnelly & I have been doing commercial photography and photographing weddings & special events for several years. Some of my commercial work has been featured in trade publications. Some time ago, I founded OnSite Photography. We are a family owned company, doing business in SE Michigan. Our mission is to capture the moment of your special day. It’s our desire when you look at your wedding album, that it takes you back to the moment of your special day. If you stop and think about it, when the guests are gone, gifts are opened and the honeymoon is over, the photos are the only thing left.

I’ve listed below three key things to consider when hiring a wedding/event photographer.

1) Do you like the photographer and does he/she like you?
This is a key element that some people overlook, in their zeal to find the best price/package. No matter how good the work is or how good the price is, if this element is missing, your day will probably be miserable and your album will most likely show it. Never forget that the photographer is working for you & not the other way around. He/she should be sensitive to your needs, be willing to accommodate special requests, and offer advice.

2) Is the quality of work good?
Do you like his or her work and style? If not, no matter what the price is, don’t hire him/her.

3) Can you afford the price and is the package worth the price?
I’ve listed this item last because price should not necessarily be the deciding factor. Everyone has a budget, is the photographer within your budget? Remember if you pay a little too much, for what you want, the most that you risk losing is few dollars. If you pay too little, you risk losing everything. Wedding day photos are nearly impossible to recreate. The old saying that you get what you pay for is true. If the price is too low, there’s a reason why.

With all this being said there are a lot of things to consider: types of albums, film vs. digital, number & size of enlargements etc, etc. I could go on & on, but the three items listed should form the basis of making a decision. If all of those three items are present, you’ve probably found your man/woman. If any of those three items are missing, keep looking, your photographer is out there. You’ve done a lot of planning to make sure that every detail is perfect & you deserve quality images to remember your day.
