I have several packages all which you receive the DVD's of the photos and the rights to the pictures as well. All packages also include your pictures uploaded to a secure server that will have a password of your choosing and the ability to share the gallery with friends and family. You can take your photos to your favorite camera shop to have printed or I can print them at an extra fee. One of the items that I offer that other photographers do not is a service called selective coloring. I take the photo in color, convert it to black and white and some key features- flowers, dresses, etc are in color while the rest of the photo is in black and white. Depending on the package that you decide on, this can be done on up to 40 photos of your choosing.

After either event, I will have your pictures uploaded within 3 weeks for you to see.

Wedding Photography

My wedding packages start at $395.00. That includes all formal, ceremony, and reception pictures. If you are opening gifts at the reception that is included as well. I also bring a second photographer (female) so she is able to get pictures of the bridal party as they are getting dressed. I pay attention to the small and large details of your event. Did someone go through the trouble of making special signs for each table? Did your bridal party have a special flower weaved into their hair? Do you have decorations that are special to you? It would be nice if there were pictures of all of this. Well you do not need to worry, I pay attention to the details and get all the pictures to help you remember your special day.

I do require a $125.00 non refundable deposit to lock in your date. This deposit guarantees two things. The first one is that you are booking me for the date and the second is that I will not book another event on your date. After you email me and confirm the date and time needed, you will need to pay the deposit and print out and sign the contract. Click Here to be taken to the contract page.  You can scan it back in and email it to me, fax it to me, or snail mail it to me. Please see the PACKAGES page to find the package of your choice and the prices associated with it.

I know your day is special and getting just the right shots is important to both you and I. By taking a few minutes before the wedding, we can work together as a team to make sure that the shot you have been looking for since the day you have been dreaming of your perfect wedding. This checklist is only a sample of the work that I do during your special day. But this checklist does serve as a guide for me to make sure that I get all the shots you are looking for.

I have made my typical wedding checklist and if you can take a few minutes to fill it and and send back to me that would be great. I have made this in Microsoft Word so you can fill it out on your computer, save it and email it right back to me.
