Who will be my wedding day photographer?
There are several way to match you with the perfect photographer.

You may select a photographer from our web site by viewing their work and reading their bio.  Or you might choose a photographer based on the recommendation of a family member or friend whose wedding we photographed.  Steve and his associate photographer Julie photograph all the two photographer packages while David and Dawn each photograph the one photographer packages. This method is based on a photographer's availability.

Of course you can come in to our studio for a consultation and tell us about your wedding and the style of photography that you are interested in.  As we talk with you about your wedding plans we will get a feel for your personal style and your particular needs.  Then we will make a recommendation who we think will suit you the best.  This is the most common method of assigning a photographer to a wedding.

What type of equipment do you use?
We use professional quality Nikon and Canon digital
cameras and lenses to capture all the portraits and action at your wedding.
We switched to digital in the spring of 2002.  There are so many advantages to digital
over film that we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Here are just a few advantages of the digital camera.
We can give you a greater selection of photographs to choose from. We can also
shoot until we feel that we have captured that special moment that is unfolding before us.Are you worried that your important images won’t come out? With digital cameras we can check to be sure we have got it, so you can feel confident your memories have been preserved forever.

Do you take more than posed photographs?
Yes. We only take the posed photographs that you request. For example photographs
of the bride and groom, family and wedding party. The rest of the day’s photographs will be of
a photojournalistic style such as getting ready, ceremony, reception, small intimate details, and photos of people when they don’t know they're being photographed.

Do you bring backup equipment with you to weddings?
Yes. We carry backup equipment in the unlikely event that something gets broken.

How many photographs do you take?
Lots. Most photos are good. Some are not. Sometimes it takes several shots
to capture just the right moment or expression. So we edit. You are going to see the very
best photographs; photographs that are going to tell your wedding day story. We feel it is part of our job to review every photo and make sure it passes our strict standards. With one photographer packages we usually show you 300-400 images. With two photographer packages we usually show you 500-600 images.

Do you take black and white photographs?
Yes, any photograph we take for you can be printed in black and white or color.

Do you require a meal?
Each schedule has its own details that need to be discussed. But photographers like most other working people need a break and a meal sometime during the day. Let’s discuss this along with details of your wedding day's schedule of events.

How much travel mileage do you include with your packages?
Good question. High gasoline costs have hit us all. Our photographers will include 80 miles of travel mileage. That mileage begins at our studio and includes travel throughout the day with you and your wedding party to various locations of your choosing and ends with the return trip to the studio. For most of our clients this will be sufficient.  Mileage over the 80 miles is charged at the current government rate which at present is about 50 cents per mile.

When will my wedding Preview Portfolio be ready?
Your wedding Preview Portfolio which is a proof book of all the wedding day photographs is generally available at the studio within three weeks of your wedding. We also offer viewing and ordering online for those who will not be able to see your Preview Portfolio.

Do you offer more than one style of wedding album?
Yes, we offer four distinctively different styles. Our packages come with a
Traditional Album but we also offer the creative Collage Art Album, the Contemporary Art Album and the Coffee Table Art Album for an upgrade.

How long does it take to get the finished wedding album?
Usually six to seven weeks after your final approval.
