Breakdown of services:

  • Choosing your coverage time is important to determine your wedding package.  Wedding packages are designed to give you a savings verses building your own package.  As your planning develops even after booking us, we can adjust the hours to fit your timeline to make sure you do not feel rushed or add an stress to the planning process.
  • Engagement sessions are a great way for us to get to know each other.  We will give dirrection that will help get familuar with our style to make your wedding day be seamless.  Most engagement sessions are one location with 1-2 outfits.  We can certainly do up to 2 hours with 2 locations and up to 3 outfit changes.
  • Print Rights are given to you becasue we want to give you the freedom to choose how you would like to print your photos.  Copy Rights are never release because it is part of our creative style that we wish to protect.  We encourage to use us for your enlargements because we feel we have the best lab in the country to work with to make sure you get the quailty prints you should get from a high end professional photographer.
  • We deliver the best of the best.  Yes we will take a lot of photos.  However we do not want the best photos get lost in the 1000s of photos.  Certainly the more moments that are part of the day will get you more images per hour. We will professionally edit the images for you to make sure they are ready for print and sharing.  Additonal edits such as altering the image in any way is a service that we offer at an extra editing fee.
  • Partner Photographer- I have a partner that has been working with me for years.  We are a team that photographs together as much as we can but will seperate where needed.  We feel having a partner is key to bring value and consistencey with our style.

  • We do have an online gallery that you can have us host your wedding photos for your parents, family and guests. We will provide 30 days of free viewing along with 50% off all your printing services within that 30 days.  You can then add our hosting services per month after that if you would like to have the convience of see your photos all in one place.
  • Free Bridal Session- Yes a FREE session with you and your partner that can be used before the wedding or within a week after the wedding.  We feel this is a great option to use if you have weather that changes the wedding day timeline.  This would include rain all day or a snow storm. This session also can be at a location of your choice to create epic locatoin photos for you both.  We had a few couples that took advantage of this FREE Bridal session to just enjoy the wedding day with family, friends, and guests with the next day dedicated to just the both of them.  We also had a couple that was devistated that it down poured all day on their wedding and with this bridal offer they felt more at ease we can do their session with a better weather situation a few days after.

Tips for picking your Wedding Photographer

You have many choices when choosing your Wedding Photographer. WI has a lot of creative professionals to choose from, so how do you know who is right for you? Below are some tips on how to choose the right WI Wedding Photographer for your big day

  • Do your research. Check out the style you would like to have for your wedding. Once you have a few Wedding Photographers in mind, take a look at their portfolios to see if their style matches your vision for your wedding photos.
  • Meet with the Wedding Photographers you are considering and ask them about their experience and how they approach weddings. Do a consultation! I recommend doing it in person if you can because it will allow you to get to know your photographer’s personality as well as their photography approach.
  • Make sure you feel comfortable with the Wedding Photographer you choose. This is someone who will be spending a LOT of time with you on your wedding day. You want to make sure you connect with them and feel like they understand your vision for your wedding photos.
  • Ask lots of questions! This is one of the most important days of your life, so you want to make sure you are comfortable with your Wedding Photographer and have all of the details worked out ahead of time.

Over the years, we have heard from bridemaids that they wish they had us as their Wedding Photographers.  Their experiences expressed to us that they experienced a photographer that was not prepared for the wedding day, that bridal pictures and portraits took too long, and they were not able to have time to spend some time at the reception meeting with family and guests. They even went on to say that we had more fun in taking the photos with us then what they experienced with someone that had a very dry and unenthusiastic personality on their wedding day.

We address all these experiences to make sure that our couples have the best experience as well as parents, family members, and guests.  We work well with so many vendors since we have worked together over the past 20 years. We make sure to answer emails, text, or phone calls.  We stride to deliver the images of the engagement session within the same week of the session if not the next day.  We also get sneak peek to our couples with in a week of the wedding and deliver a full viewing of their images within a two week window if not sooner.  We want to make the wedding planning easier for you, gudie you on site, prepare before the wedding with consulations and bring the fun energy you should get from your wedding photographer.

We like to share the experiences that our couples had during the engagement session, as they expressed how easy and relaxed the session was with our gudiing them thru the session, engaging in a session that put them at ease while building trust that their wedding day experience will be effiecent and fun.  

And most of our couples enjoyed the fact that we have been to many of their ceremony and reception sites as we discussed locations during the consulation.  They were happy to get all their questions answered along with receiving questions and suggestions to details of the wedding day that they did not think about. 

Choosing the right Wedding Photographer can seem like a daunting task, but if you take the time to do your research and ask plenty of questions, you’re sure to end up with beautiful photos that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
