I find myself and my business rapidly evolving these days.  Ten years ago, I never dreamed we would have the marvelous tools available to us today to create images beyond anything I ever imagined.  Simply having the control to retouch and manipulate images, in the studio, has taken my work to a tremendously higher level.  I no longer have to depend on a photo lab to interpret my vision, I create it instantly on my computer screen.

Today, I offer five different styles of wedding albums.   I go way beyond simply capturing images, I create keepsakes that will last a lifetime and help you throughout the wedding day in the most professional manner.

Digital Wedding Photography

• All images captured digitally to preview during the wedding.

• No chance of lost or damaged film, we back up immediately to laptop and archive to DVD and Raid Servers.

• No limit to the number of previews, only the time I am there limits what I can shoot.

• Images placed online and CD previews ready by Thursday after your wedding.

• Slideshow of all wedding images presented during the reception.

• Bride and Groom's Wedding page on our website.  Free service for every bride.

• Designer Albums, custom designed in studio.

• If Designer Album is ordered, preview of album design shown on web before printing.

In addition to fixed packages.  You may now select the hours of coverage you want, and everything else is optional and paid as you make purchases.

Here's how it works:

• Make a tentative selection for the number of hours you need us and place a $300 retainer to reserve your date.

• Select or add an engagement, bridal or sunset session at any time, pay 50% of the fee at booking and the final 50 % when you pick up your order.

• Pay the balance of the hourly coverage 20 days prior to your wedding.

• For Montage Designer Albums, pay 1/3 down when ordering, 1/3 when you preview the design and the final 1/3 when your album is ready.  For all other albums, pay 1/2 down and 1/2 when the album is ready.

Pre-Wedding Planning

     I meet with the bride and groom several times before the wedding when possible.  Our final (and most important) meeting is the itinerary planning session.  At this time, we finalize all details regarding timing, image styling and locations.  At the end of the session, I present you with a detailed Photography Itinerary of the day's photography schedule.  I make sure this meeting is 20 to 30 days prior to your wedding to give you time to be sure these details are the way you want them and you can make photocopies to give to families and wedding party members so they won't be late.

Album Design and Wedding Orders

 Your album design will also be created in my studio, I don't outsource to an album mill that makes every album look the same.  My designer will take your favorite images and arrange them on screen for you to see exactly how your finished album will look.

When your designer album is complete, I offer you the opportunity to purchase this album design for parents or grandparents at a greatly reduced price in our Layflat Albums and Books format.

  Wedding Images   

I combine traditional portraiture with a photojournalistic style to create beautiful images quickly and effectively.    I have found that combining a photojournalistic style to the natural moments and events where we shouldn't intrude with posed images (that include extended family portraiture and romantic portraiture with the bride and groom that just will not happen naturally) will offer you a more complete presentation of images to satisfy you and your family.  I will find lovely moments unlooked for and capture them as I can.  However, I realize to fully document your wedding day (and to create images worthy of your wall) I must utilize every tool and location we can find.

The Wedding Day

     I work very hard to capture all the images you request in an appealing and artistic style.  I also strive to help you enjoy your day without constant interference from from me.  I offer a highly professional service.  I have years of experience in coaxing family and wedding party members into being ready for our pre-ceremony images without being bossy or pushy.  I am quick at pinning on boutonnières and I know how to bustle wedding dresses.  I carry a sewing kit and pins for emergencies.  I will act as liaison between you and the band leader or DJ to be sure all planned reception events occur as you wish.  These are items I will have discussed fully with you at your Photography Itinerary session.  I also have a list of your reception photo requests, so I will not expect you to lead me around the reception pointing out images to be made.  When I plan your photography with you, I will ask you for two people (one who knows his friends and one that knows yours) to help me find people in your requested group shots.  These will include out of town guests, families that we didn't get before the ceremony, sorority sisters, fraternity brothers, work friends, college or high school friends, etc.  These are all groups we have discussed beforehand and will not need to interrupt your mingling or dancing to get those shots.  My goal is make the day proceed as smoothly as possible, without delays, so that we can create the greatest images possible.
