FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Our packages are listed below. We offer beautiful hard cover magazine style coffee table wedding albums and heirloom specialty prints on canvas. A proof album is included with all packages.
What is "photojournalist" style as opposed to "traditional"?
PHOTOJOURNALISM is a news style of photography. It is produced in the way a journalist would write a story, capturing what a news photographer sees as the action unfolds...the little nuances of the day such as the four year old flower girl looking in a hand held mirror, the father of the bride getting his tie straight -- all the details as they happen.
TRADITIONAL style photography provides what every parent wants: group shots of family, poses of the bride in front of the alter, capturing the full length of the wedding gown. This style allows the photographer and the bride to work together to produce stunning poses and artistic creations.
What should I expect from a full coverage wedding?
Capturing the bride and bridesmaids preparing for the ceremony. Photographing the groom and his best man and other members of the party at the location where they are assembled.
Ceremony shots -- provided the church allows flash (some don't). We also use non-flash photography with additional cameras when the church does not allow flash. These shots will be planned with you prior to your wedding day. Of course, the traditional down-the-aisle/post ceremony shots and any requested additional shots will be covered.
Group/family shots -- all the groupings you'd like to have photographed. This of course is a concern by the couple due to time constraints. We often will shoot many of the group shots prior to the ceremony. This gives you more time to shoot group shots after the ceremony and quickly move to the reception.
Your guests understand your need for group shots. A break from seeing the couple gives the guests some time to relax and await your arrival. We work to expedite all of the group shots needed before moving to the reception.
Reception - random candid shots of guests, cake cutting, flower and garter toss and if planned, your exit with bubbles, rice, etc. If there is a dance floor, we use a unique style of photography unseen elsewhere. Ask for details.
