Weddings

Upon meeting with you, we will compose a list of family who plan to attend, with whom you would like photographs. Usually the combinations include such groupings as; the bridal party, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, etc. The listing on the website includes our efforts to help you organize any photographs you want posed, to help you make lasting memories of your event, and the people who helped you get there. At the time of our meeting, I will provide for you a pricing schedule for prints, and we will discuss contracts and further pricing information.

The wedding ceremony and reception will be shot with a photojournalistic approach, that is, we will be taking photographs of anything and everything that happens.

After the event, at a time of your choosing, I will present to you a CD of all the proofs from the wedding. From there, you will make an order for prints. If you treasure your prints, then we recommend our printing services. We use high-quality printing and paper, to ensure the prints last. Its your special day, and you want all the memories of it to last a lifetime.

Alternatively, for the "do-it-yourself" kind of person, we can provide a CD with "digital negatives," from which you can take to any photo counter and make the prints yourself. This option will incur an additional charge.

We try to stay competitive in our pricing arrangements. With that in mind, we can add or remove services and adjust pricing accordingly. This is your special day, and we want to make it as seamless as possible for you and your fiancé.
