About Us and the Service We Provide
       We try to make shopping for a photographer and videographer as easy as possible. The choices are endless in what we can do with the images once they are captured.  If we have missed something, you would like to see included in our services please let us know.  I am sure we can accommodate most requests.   Our emphasis is on providing top quality service for you on your wedding day and beyond.

Photography
       A professional photographer is a must.  There are once in a life time moments to be recorded and should not be missed. The professional works with the officiant, musicians, and the banquet manager to insure that the day runs smoothly and is enjoyed by all.
       Some of our packages are designed to cover from the bride's home to the last dance at the reception, and includes two photographers.  One photographer is there to cover the activities of the Bride and Groom.  While, the second photographer is there to cover family and friends.  There are packages for those brides and grooms choosing a smaller and more intimate event at one location.
       We photograph in two styles, traditional and photo journalistic.  Traditional photographs are timeless, and include the vows, ring exchange, formal portraits, parent's dances, cake cutting, the garter and the bouquet.  The photo journalistic photographs are illustrative images designed to capture moments in time.  Such as, the bride and her father at the moment they are about to walk down the aisle, the groom as he sees his bride for the first time and the guest reactions during the cake cutting.  Some of these moments happen at the same time, that is why we offer a 2nd photographer.
       One question we get asked is how many images will we receive? That number varies depending on several factors.  How large is your wedding party? How many guests are you inviting? A wedding where there are only 30 guests will have fewer images than a wedding with 300 guests, because there are fewer people. Our focus is on giving you quality images along with the images you want and not on quantity.  We make every image count.  Our range of images you receive on average has been 500 to 1000 images.
       We also offer online viewing and ordering of your images, so you and your guests can see the images within three weeks or less while you are waiting for your proof album to be printed.

Video Taping

       Video complements the photography.  Video is designed to capture the sounds and actions of the wedding day.  The wedding day goes by so fast, it is nice to relive the memories and to remember the words spoken that day such as the vows, the readings, your first dance song, the toasts and well wishes from your friends and family.  Just as we have two photographers to cover events that are happening at the same time or to get a different perspective, we offer two videographers on your wedding day.  Two videographers have been used to cover both the bride and groom during the ceremony, and to record well wishes from the guests.
       Our video packages include - a photo montage and invitation as the introduction to the wedding video, honeymoon images set to music and three copies on DVD.

New This Year
       We are offering DVD's highlights of the day for both photography and videography.

Thank you for reviewing our information and Congratulations on Your Engagement.  Please call for an appointment to discuss how we can service you on your wedding day.
