"A Unique photographer for your Unique Wedding"

I have been photographing weddings since 1986.  I enjoy the excitement when a new couple comes to visit me in the studio to see my photographs.  I LOVE working with people.  I get so involved with the families by the time the wedding is taking place we are good friends. I've experienced many nervous mothers as well as brides.  I am here  to assist you and your family in anyway I can, by offering my advice and 19 years of experience so your wedding day plans run as smooth as silk. Most of my wedding clients come from referrals of brides and parents of brides & other professional referrals. I do not advertise my wedding coverage, except on this website. I am proud that my clients are happy with my work. I love what I do.

My wedding coverage is set up in 6 plan options.  This is much more convenient  way for you to understand what you are getting for your investment. Visit our Wedding Gallery I  & Wedding Gallery II.

All of my 2008 plans include:

I don't want you to be heartbroken when you see your special day in photographs that were taken by some "weekender."  This is a term we professionals use for people who say they are photographers but don't have professional equipment and experience.  I've had numerous occasions were a bride calls me a week before her wedding, crying because the person she hired to do the photography either backs out or has more important things to do that day. What a nightmare ! 
You only get what you pay for so be careful. This is such a special occasion in your life and you shouldn't sacrifice a few hundred dollars for caring service and pictures you will not be happy with.

 Formals Only Coverage is only available during my slower wedding months from late Winter and early Spring, not during the peak wedding season. Peak season is months of May thru December.  This coverage is for brides who desire just the formal photographs of the Bride & Groom, Wedding party and other posed photographs of family either done before or after the ceremony. Price for this coverage is $525. Coverage does include actual ceremony photography as well as formal portraits, with a proof book of 50 of your favorite images. Posting on Internet and CD's with slide show and FlipAlbum feature.
Engagement Sessions - Environmental and Studio

The choice is yours. My studio sessions start at $30  and one outfit change. Outdoor sessions start at $75-$100, depending on location.   Are you planning a slide show at your reception?  Let me create some beautiful portraits for your show or to display at your reception. The popular Signature Mats are available in a variety of sizes.  Two Brass easels are available, one floor easel can accommodate up to 20 x 24 frame, and Table top can accommodate up to 11 x 14 frame.
