PERSONALITY CAPTURING PHOTOGRAPHY
 
A Payment Plan is now Available. We do realize that Weddings can be costly, and obtaining a good photographer to record the memories of this important time in your life is very important, so we do have a monthly payment plan available with a reduced retainer for the Ultimate Diamond, Diamond, and Pearl packages to help you. We will even hold the retainer check for a week or two if that will help you. We strive to be very flexible. If you have a situation, feel free to discuss it with us, we'll work out a solution.

We capture the day for you, by focusing on delivering outstanding service at an unbelievable value. With our glowing images,unique one of a kind graphics, breathtaking albums,we capture the magic, and ensure that you both will enjoy the most important day of your lives for many years to come.

We are trained mother~daughter photographers. We bring two generations to your wedding. Two photographers means no missed shots, and two generations means new, upbeat graphics and images, awesome candids, as well as posed classic-traditional images to make everyone happy.

We send your images to a professional print lab that only uses professional paper and chemicals to insure that your prints will be around for many generations. Our coffee-table style books are professionally designed, and like no others, each page designed just for you for that "WOW" factor. A coffee-table book is included in addition to prints, and enlargement, not instead of, with all packages. Ask about our 10% committment special!

FREE!!~A High resolution CD with copyright print release is an additional $400.00 with any investment print package, however, one will be sent to you on your second anniversary as an anniversary gift, at no additional charge.

We cater to those who have problem areas, such as under eye circles, blemishes, wrinkles, scars, tattoo cover-ups, double chins, teeth discolorations, etc. We can minimize and/or cover up these problems, at your request.

We have an extensive variety of traveling portfolio's showing our actual work, as well as an assortment of coffee table books, enlargements, collages, gallery wraps and examples of the different print finishes from the professional lab that we use, that we bring to our consultations. We also have a packet made especially for you to take home that contains a great deal of information that is helpful for planning a unique wedding that is all about you. A consultation usually takes approximately 1 hour.

Below are several different wedding packages that we offer. If you don't see what you are looking for, let us know, and we'll work with you to custom design a package to your liking, and price it accordingly. After all, this is your wedding, and everything should be, as you want it, perfect.

One of the great advantages of digital photography is the ability to take as many photos as you like, but only print the photos that you choose. Another advantage of digital is that you can easily have any or all of your photos edited and printed in Color, Black and White, Sepia or one of our unique, one of a kind, custom designed graphic effects.

After your wedding, each image will be hand-edited and carefully processed in our digital dark room. This is the point when more magic takes place. Black & White, Selective Coloring, High Key, & Midnight Sepia, are just a few of the many effects that we offer. We work hard to bring that “Wow” factor to each and every one of your images. We also offer additional prints and items ala Carte for friends and family members.
