​PHOTOGRAPHERS
This is a hard one! We have worked with dozens of professional photographers, and each come with their own benefits. From equipment variations, to skill level, to personality (they will be in your 'space' all day long) to the ever important factor of price, there are many factors to selecting a photographer.   
The end game is being to get the best photos for the best value. 
Our advice? Go to our Galleries and look at what photographers have done here.
​We have dozens of galleries here on our website, as well as on our Facebook page.
All should have a link to the Photographer.
