About
The mother’s tear; the bride’s endearing gaze toward her white knight; the delightful décor; the delicious treats; the hugs; the kisses; the handshakes; the occasional wild antics; that athletic dance leaps; the romantic moments; the sunset; the prayer; the pensive moment; the burst of laughter; the heirloom necklace from grandma; the baby’s sweet sleep; the children playing; the teenage pranks; the fellowship of friends; the beauty of smiles, scenes, and architecture are ALL precious memories that will probably be lost forever without a masterful photographer.
This is what Van will capture for you in beautiful images. If his images don’t bring tears of joy to your eyes, he hasn’t done his job.
Plus, he gives you his entire day at no extra charge. You will get about 1500 proofs. See his website www.VansPhotos.com for lots of examples. Then, call him for further information and a free consultation about your wedding.

Frequently Asked Questions for Photography
Do you offer special techniques such as hand-coloring or toning?
Retouching of all purchased images. Any image can be provided in color, black and white, or sepia.
 
Do you have experience shooting in various lighting situations?
I prefer shooting in available light. It is more natural (real) looking and provides better candid images. However, when necessary, I will use strobe with special diffuser for a extremely pleasing beautiful skin tone. I also love shooting in nightlight, sunsets, blue twilight, rain, etc. I usually use remote strobes that are radio controlled for great effects. See my website, www.VansPhotos.com.
