How to Select a Wedding Photographer

Although you can collect all your guests’ wedding photos and upload them into one online photo album, you may decide that you would like to hire a professional wedding photographer as well. When searching for a wedding photographer, there are a few things to consider. (Of course, the first thing is always budget!)
 For the budget
 1. Number of hours. Are you looking for someone to take pictures from the time you’re getting ready til the end of the evening? Do you want someone just to start taking photos at the ceremony? How many hours do you think you’ll want someone there?
2. Number of photographers. Do you want one person taking photos? Or do you want multiple perspectives of the same moment? If you want more than one perspective, you might need two photographers on site. (But this doesn’t mean that you have to hire two separate photographers. Most photographers have assistants or partners who they work with and who can be included in a package price). If you want multiple perspectives but can only afford the one photographer, remember to ask your friends and family to take photos & they can upload them into your photo album afterwards.
 3. Albums. Most photographers offer packages that include a photo album. Other photographers offer photo albums that you can add on later, on top of the other services. Often looking at a photographers albums are a good way to see if you like their albums.  Remember – you can always order an album later, which might help you spread out the costs.
For considering WHO to hire
4. Style of photography. Do you want a photojournalistic style? Artsy? What are you looking for? What kind of photos do you like? Detailed photos? Getting ready?
5. Experience. How many years experience doing wedding dress photographer does the person have? Wedding photography is different from other types of photography! Does the person have experience at your venue? Does your venue require the photographer to know the venue?
6. Personality of the photographer. Do you like the person? Can you communicate with them easily?
7. Other issues. Does the photographer charge a travel fee? Will he/she check out the venue with you (or without you) prior to the day of the wedding? Do they accept shot lists? (Do you want them to?) Who keeps the negatives? Do you get copies of the high resolution files? (If you do, you can add them to your Wedding Lens photo album to share with friends!)
Remember to keep in mind the general tips on how to select vendors! For example, get references from people who have used the photographer. Also bear in mind that your photographer, like all other vendors, will require a downpayment to hold your wedding date!

This Whole World is Just a Dream, Do You Believe That - 17th Karmapa

By 17th Karmapa

This whole world is just a dream, do you believe that? People may believe it when they get old or while the moment they have to face to death.

Have to tell you that this world just a dream, have to tell you that this world is unreal, have to tell you your life are impermanent, have to tell you that your family are destined by Karma. 

When you dedicate yourself into your family for decades without any complaint or regrets, when you take care of your children without any complaints , or when you suffering insomnia just caused your no filial children,

I have to tell you that this world is all false and fake, don't too cling to it. But you don't believe it, your cognition yet not reach the level to believe or liberate your affliction. Therefore, I won't talk more, and won't try to persuade you more but only watching you struggling and drifting in the suffering ocean from the shore. Probably, you may regard me as a merciless person, actually I am sympathetic to all your painful and sufferings but helpless, the only thing left me to do is to looking at you silently.

I considered that most of people lack a blessing chance to listen the Buddhist Dharma as well as their wisdom hardly to perceive the emptiness, you are just performing their entire life in this unreal world with all kinds of emotions, the birth or death, love or hatred, what else should I say. Everyone has her attachment, her acknowledgement, her dreams and goals, her conception for her world and happiness. But have to tell her, this world is just a dream. Your children whom you are so addicted to are just your karma. Your family which you clinging to it for your lifetime, it just a courier station to you, all the loving relationship or fame and wealthy which you are pursuing are the illusions of your self-conscious.  You are everywhere in this world while the whole world is empty. When you wake up from your dreams, you still have to face the brutal fact of the reincarnation of six realms, few of them can make the commitment and believe it but would rather keep on drifting in their dreams. If one day you know you are about to death, what your feelings when you look back. May be only by that moment you would have faith in Buddha's teaching:" All conditioned occurrences. Are like a dream, a bubble, a shadow. Life is just like the morning dew, or like lightning. You should do as see." Life like as a film, contains ups and downs, enjoying the peace and sunny but sometime along with violent storm...all these forced us arise of love, hatred, happy and angry, arising with conditions and ceasing also with conditions.

Finally we find out that we are no more than an actor in our whole life, performing followed the drama and hasn't ever be yourself even for a single moment. Until that moment you will realize what your self- nature is, what matters will you still crave to? Why should your children to be the best in their class, why should you to be the best in your career, why should you live better than others, why should you have more abundant food than others, why should you traveling so  extravagant, why should you an eye to an eye ( tit of tat ) when someone else harmed you... finally you would known that these things are not the first  primacy, if you cling to them all your lifetime then you will be tormented all the time.

All you life goals are just like these stuff, you can't take a single piece with you when you face to death but you were suffered by them all your life. You can't take them with you even you loving ones. The only thing to do is just let it be or to deal with accord with conditions. 

"One should thus develop a pure and clean mind which should not abide in form, sound, smell, taste, touch and Dharma, they should develop a mind which does not abide in anything."  Today whoever your loved or hated, just accept them when they come, and leave them when they go. Don't cling to, don't worry it, calm down your mind, you will see that you were still were you, you didn't pulled away by them, you are truly yourself.

Thus, you will enjoy a life with no regret and no guilt.

Even till your last moment, the death seems like a phenomenon, you will leave accord with conditions and leave at ease. But, can you really understand that? Can you really let it go? Or it may be too late at the moment you realized. 

All I can do only praying, to pray for all of you.
