Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Our most common types of jobs are weddings. We really really enjoy them! We love the details of the day, the emotions. Theres nothing like the look of a groom when he sees his bride for the first time. Or the tears of a bride getting ready to walk down the aisle. Weddings remind us ( My wife and I shoot together) of our wedding day 14 years ago. Theres something inside us that stirs when we see other couples so deep in love saying I do.

We also shoot portraits, children and seniors.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Do your homework! Unfortunately in this business you really do get what you pay for, especially when it comes to looking for wedding photography. Dont get me wrong. We will work with a bride on a budget or put together custom design packages for our clients. But we arent going to do a full day wedding for $200.00 either. We work hard and and quality can come with a price tag at times. Thats the cold hard truth. There are also many businesses out there that are not legal. Do they have a license? Do they pay their taxes? Do you write your check out to a business or a person? Photographers that are in this for the long haul have their license to be in business...like we do :o)

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. I enjoy the customers that have the questions! It makes me feel even better when they hire me. Questions to ask: What kind of equipment do you use? Camera? Lenses? Do you bring back up equipment? What if you get sick and cant be there? Are you licensed? How many weddings/portrait/ shoots have you done? Where can I see your work? Do you have examples? How long have you been in business?

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Customer service. We will go the extra mile to make sure that our clients are satisfied. If our name is on it. Its going to be what you want.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. The smiles. When we deliver the images and we see the "wow" on peoples faces. We also enjoy meeting new people. We love the interactions we have with our customers. They become part of our family. We want to be there for them for each special moment in their lives.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Can you work with a bride on a budget. We answer that with "absolutely" . It is our goal to get you to sign with us for your special day. We will work with you to make it happen. The last thing you should have to worry about is coming up with a million dollars for a good photograph.

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. We love it when we have brides come back and compare us to other photographers their friends have used. We have had more than our share of brides come back and tell us that their friends wished they had used us as well.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. Im a God fearing man that loves his family and his wife. Every wedding that we shoot reminds me of my own wedding day, and how blessed I am to have been able to find my soulmate. Everytime the "I do's" are said you'll catch me looking over at her and giving her a wink.

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. I've been shooting since I was 8 years old. It was a hobby that grew into a love affair. A few years ago I injured my foot and was laid up for about 6 weeks. It gave me time to reflect and really consider some things in my own life. Was I happy? What do I really love doing and why aren't I making moves to accomplish it? The answer was photography. It reflects my thoughts, my emotions. It gives me the opportunity to express myself and be creative. It brings me satisfaction. What more is there in life than doing what you love?
