Tim and Dana are amazing not only as gifted photographers but as caring individuals. They make your event and your experience feel special and unique. My husband and I are so glad we got to work with them and even happier that they got to share in our special day. We can't wait to share our family photo sessions with them too as we now have a little one to put in front of their skillful and artistic lens. We HIGHLY recommend The Classic Image!

The Classic Image provides the best photography for a wedding. They are very attentive, they will take many photos of you and whomever you recommend they photograph. I had a wonderful time with them at my wedding and they helped everyone make it through the day. They are a great team, and they have been doing this for many, many years. Book them! You can check out some of their award winning photography if you google The Classic Image online. They also happened to photograph my brother's wedding about ten years ago, which was a coincidence, but my brother and sister-in-law raved about how good of a job they do. Also, I believe that they won an award for a photograph they took of my brother and a little girl. Overall outstanding job! Thank you!
