Studio lighting and all forms of ambient light, including natural, tungsten, candle light to name a few.

I shoot entirely digital.
How many photographers do you work with?
Some weddings do not require a second photographer. I offer my couples the option of one, two or three shooters.
Do you guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes. Often times, after the first dance portion of the reception, my associate will remain as it can be more cost effective than having two photographers during the entire reception.

Weekends (Friday-Sunday) are based on a full day rate. Weekdays (Monday-Thursday) are based on an hourly rate if the wedding is less than six hours long.

I need 15 minutes right before the ceremony to refresh my batteries, memories cards and verify lenses needed.

For distances beyond 50 miles from my studio.
