My company is based on the belief that our customer's needs are of the utmost importance. My entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. 

The energy, the emotion, the many faces and streams of tears make me swell with delight that it is my career to witness and record special  events and people deeply in love.

I'd like to meet with you as far as possible in advance of the.special day.  This meeting is normally held at the church (or other venue you select) and should be used to "dry run" the wedding or event and discuss optimum locations within the facility for those special shots. I will also visit the reception site to check lighting, obstacles, entry way, stairs, etc.  These may seem like insignificant things, but they help ensure the very best  pictures are delivered to our clients.  300+ digital pictures are taken during a typical wedding.

It is my preference to shoot throughout the wedding day.  I will arrive at least two hours prior to the. event.  I do this because it encapsulates the whole of the day - the whole story.  I shoot primarily with a professional digital camera, and gravitate towards more of a 'documentary' in feel than traditional wedding photographs tend to be.  Motion picture photography (DVD) is also available and is preferred by some parties.  I urge clients to include the (DVD) in their package.

I have found it immensely important for my work to be perfectly tailored to each client.  I want my services to fit you like a glove, not for you to wonder if yours is a "size 2.....or 3 .....or....."  You know what is important to you.  I want to hear what you envision as the ultimate product.

With all this said, my wedding 'packages" suit the desires of most, but can be modified as you see fit.  Package "A"  (basic) includes all photos taken during the entire day (includes shooting at the reception as well), plus a CD with the pictures. Package "B" (advanced) includes an attractive wedding album containing all the digital shots taken during your wedding day plus a CD reflecting all of the wedding pictures, a digital video/movie (DVD) of the ceremony plus selected 8X10 portraits.  My competitors typically charge more than $1,500 to shoot package "B". I refuse to rip you off that way!!
