Digital Party Pros is a photography service provider covering Central Pennsylvania. We do a lot of Family, Baby, Maternity, and Senior Portraits, but mostly we do Weddings. DigitalPartyPros.com
We started back in 2005, did a family member's wedding in Milton, PA at my childhood Church. St. Andrews United Methodist Church.
My cousin Noelle got married and wanted to do it on a tight budget. I had always taken pictures and loved photography. I was involved in the newspaper and high school yearbook as a photographer and continued as a life long interest. So I decided that I could definitely photograph her wedding, but I was nervous.
First thing I decided was that I didn't want to do the photography myself. A two person approach would be best just to make sure we got all the important parts of the wedding on two cameras. I'm a canon girl, so that was my weapon of choice.
It was such a great experience, I almost feel bad now, because I have learned so much now in the last 5 years. My photography then versus now is completely different. Then again, I didn't charge any money, and I learned a ton and got the bug for wedding photography. Cut to 5 years later and now there are 4 photographers and 2 different geographic locations being serviced by my brainchild, Digital Party Pros.
I have two distinct ideas to set Digital Party Pros apart. One, I hate the snobby, stuffy nature of professional photographers, I AM NOT LIKE THAT. I truly feel that its not my wedding, the pictures I like and those I discard will not match up with the bride and groom's perspective. I want to hand all the photos over and let them decide. So, we leave the wedding after burning all pictures on disc and giving them to the bride and groom. Hand them all over, so they can decide. That's the philosophy DPP believes in.
Two, I thought it would be cool to utilize the terrific printer technology available and actually print photos at the reception. The photos we took at the wedding were available for people to come up and choose and take one home as a keepsake. A little photo treasure to go home with the guests to remember the special day.
We were a big hit!!! People couldn't believe we were printing AT THE RECEPTION and they could take them home FREE of charge. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. We were so green, but I have to say it was a terrific experience and prompted me to launch Digital Party Pros.
