Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
Our images look beautiful because we are so experienced with wedding photography (our specialty for over 20 years) After the wedding we spend considerable time and attention to detail on each image before presenting the proofs. Our work doesn't stop there. Later when you order specific images for framing or albums each image is skillfully touched up and customized to maximum impact in a natural looking way. That's the key, a natural looking way. Anybody can hit a few buttons and automatically change an image but it takes artistry and patience to retouch and improve each picture individually. Please visit www.TraceyAttlee.com for a look at our finished work.
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
We offer magazine quality lighting wherever you are photographed, indoors or outside. In twenty years of professional wedding photography we have experienced all ranges of lighting. Tracey knows how to read light and pose brides in any setting, indoors or outside, from a lifetime of experience.

Do you have a replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on the day of the event?
