December 11th, 2005.  That was the first time I "blogged".  At that time blogging was a such a new thing that I had to call the link on my site "web-log" so people could figure out what it was.  This was really the first "social media" option for Calgary Wedding Photographers or even just Calgary Photographers.  For the first time a photographer could easily share a new shoot.  It was a bit of a revolution for photographers and more importantly a way for prospective couples to evaluate a photographer over multiple weddings or events. 

For couples looking for a wedding photographer, I would encourage you to spend a lot of time reviewing their blog and evaluate their work.  Can you see distinct differences in personality from couple to couple or does the photographer have a 'recipe' that makes every couple seem the same?  How has their "look" changed over the years?  Does their work from 5 years ago look completely different than their current weddings (i.e., are they heavily influenced by the current photography fad)?   I have archived my old blog for dates before 2015 so lots more over at ->  alanmaudieblog.com  Enjoy.
