Wedding photography is not about the photographer, its about the bride, the groom, the family - its about meeting the needs and desires she has for her wedding and doing so professionally.

Too often when a bride calls a photographer the first thing she hears is about the photographer and what they do, etc., when they should be asking the bride what SHE wants, what HER desires are, what type of images does SHE invision.

At Doug Palme Photography that is exactly what we will do. We don't talk about our style, our desires, or how we shoot, that is all secondary to meeting the needs of the bride - YOU! Before we get into all those details we want to get to know you, what you do, your wedding colors, wedding style, how many wedding guests your planning, etc. Its important that we know what YOU want as the bride so we can tailor a package to meet YOUR needs not ours.

Don't just take our word for it, here is what Violetta Talley, a professional photographer from Elgin, IL says:
"Very professional service and very high quality photography which says alot since I am a professional photographer myself. Doug new exactly what I was looking for and achieved beautiful images beyond my expectations. I never thought I would like the way I look in the images (I never do), but Doug posed us in such a way that I was truly happy with the way I looked! I would highly recommend this photographer!"

So if you are looking for something different, give us a call today, we will always arrange a time to meet with you at your convenience day or night to talk to you and discuss your needs and desires and then we can discuss how we might fulfill those needs and desires.

Here is another review from one of our satisfied brides:
"Where do I start? The photos, the images, the candids were simply amazing, my album left me completely and totally speechless. There is no other photographer that I would recommend for a wedding, if you want someone who gets it done the first time, without muss or fuss, and does it professionally and provides the highest quality album, then Doug is the one to use! Thank you again Doug for providing us with a wonderful keepsake and a lifetime of memories!"

Or this one from Annah Kaplan of Springfield, IL:
"Your pictures are simply stunning and your calm competency throughout the entire process made us feel so comfortable and confident that you weren’t missing a thing. As we look back on the wedding, there is not one significant aspect of our special day that you didn’t capture for us. You have a special knack of getting all the shots and doing it in a way that took nothing away from the intimacy we wanted to create and celebrate."
