Wedding Photography coverage?
The Engagement Photo?

Pre-Wedding Photos Suggest we allow two hours of shooting before the wedding.  Photos of you all preparing for the ceremony; separate photographs of the bride and the groom, all the bridesmaids and best men.

Wedding Photos The ring bearers, the bridesmaids and of course you.  All the little things you will want to remember forever are captured for you in a style you can appreciate via a photojournalistic nature.  Immediately after the ceremony once the crowd has begun to filter out capture you all with your relatives. Everyone can be involved.   These shots don't take long and can be real fun and creative here. You have relatives that also desire to capture images at the same time? No problem, in fact I can assist them if you so desire.

 

Reception Photos  As everyone starts to relax, tease you all the fun begins again.   We will capture the toast, cutting the cake the first dance.  Depending on your needs we will be there for you to capture those special moments, the relatives from far away, the sneaky stuff they may play on you captured via the classic photojournalist shooting style combined with all the posed photographs your family will want to see as well.

     Time to think -just what would be fun? Let’s brainstorm!!..

 

 


 

 Wedding Photography plus for you

Now, and this is very rare to be offered by others, if  you have the desire to add to your photo story images from your youth or special occasions from the past, that becomes a very nice addition to your album I would gladly add these images while we build your album. Please though, remember there are copyright laws we must abide by and will not be able to copy and insert images without the permission of the studio. However, if you and your family have photos that you have captured and all are agreeable to include them it could be a very fun addition.

Prints, Albums, Wall Size Images...... 

Color - Traditional color photographs are a solid foundation to any wedding album.  We capture via both digital and medium format professional film scanned to digital to provide for you the options of the best of the best. Digital is yet to compete well with professional medium format film. Wall décor image desired? Via medium format never a problem.

Black and White or Sepia Tone Prints  A classic look, a timeless feel, you are welcome to choose between both and even intermix. Both are available from color originals. 

 

 


 

My Photography bio

Yep – That’s me above..

In brief:

Commercial illustration shooter capturing images for catalogs, brochures for major companies   . . . Samples via portfolios available for review in person.

Capturing images of executives for business annuals, political figures in past for their critical work which included both portraiture and on site journalistic capture and then of course family portraiture.    

Have had the blessing of having my work published in magazines in support of authors and their subjects work and even news print supporting breaking news.

And of course weddings from very formal large cathedral coverage to small intimate in home wedding gatherings with a few family members. One example here is a couple from New Jersey with family from Everett, WA all gathered for a combination wedding and family get together.

  

"The Wedding Packages? We create a unique 'package' with you rather than limiting via other folks. Albums of all types and styles, Wall Decor from canvas through traditional - all available."

I am college level educated in Fine Art, Digital Photography, which includes PhotoShop having attended Everett Community College, North Seattle Community College and the University of Washington.

Here is a plus for your: Digital Negatives you keep after it is all over so you do not have to spend another dime my direction and will have the freedom and flexibility to create many fun images through out the years as your family grows.

I, as a pro photo person, prefer to capture images  with professional medium format film with then scanning to high resolution digital so  you have the best of both worlds. A reminder here - one day the DVD or CD may become outdated but the negatives will always be available to be scanned at a high resolution to the next new 'PC' changes that we experiences in this wild fast paced world we live in.
