options. I mean sure, everyone who worked with Jim had the exact same response that he was, "very nice," but how was I to know what that even meant? My wife would have none of my doubts though, and we signed the contract to have him do our wedding photos. My reservations were instantly put at ease when Jim offered to call me during non-business hours just to get to know me as a client. He said that knowing a little bit about me would help him do a better job in capturing our wedding moments. We talked for an hour and a half about various topics and got to know each other pretty well. He was definitely right. Maybe like some other men out there, I'm not really a big fan of getting my picture taken. Getting to know Jim ahead of time instantly put me at ease in front of the camera though, and his polite, friendly and entrepreneurial attitude made things go even easier. Jim's intense attention to detail and passion for his work also showed through and people took notice. A few fast facts: My groomsmen (who share being camera-shy) said the whole experience was a lot easier than they thought it would be. Members of my family kept coming up to us during and after the wedding to remark how much they liked the photographer. Out of everyone we worked with bringing our wedding together, Jim was the best. I'm happy to write this post now admitting publicly I was wrong. The two major lessons here are 1) your wife is always right and 2) always choose Downard Photography in Athens, Ohio!
