Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
MOST IMPORTANT: We do NOT shoot with camera FLASH during the ceremony (it distracts and annoys your family and guests). Our top-of-the-line NIKON cameras are able to take fantastic photos in ANY lighting situation. PLUS, we shoot in RAW format which allows us to refine the image and make any necessary adjustments.
Is your media preference film or digital?
100% Digital because shooting in DIGITAL RAW gives us much more ability to create sharper, more vibrant images with a full range of color hues.

We have a team of 4 photographers: My wife and I as well as the two professionals who shot our own children's weddings when they got married in 2008.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
With 4 photographers, we have it covered, even if one of us became sick or injured. Plus we network with 6 other studios who will cover for us if needed. (These are the studios we recommend if we are already booked for a specific date.)

Do you bring back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
We have extra "back-up" equipment for all our vital needs (ie. 5 cameras for 4 photographers, extra flash units. etc).

We serve the I-5 corridor from Bellingham to Olympia with no charge for travel. We are willing to travel to multiple locations on the wedding day for no extra charge. (If travel exceeds 30 miles, we do have a minimal charge for extra miles from location to location).
