FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes. My pricing is updated annually. I offer greater discounts at the first of the year and less discounts as my calendar fills. Since many folks get engaged during the Christmas holidays and Valentine's, this is perfect for us to synchronize our calendars. Check my website for current discount. 2016 Price Guide Our pricing reflects our philosophy. The most precious journeys seem to happen along the various boulevards, lanes and paths of our lives.

We strongly encourage our couples and their families to have tangible items to view their wedding memories. Digital images are amazing. But what happens when the file is corrupted or your hard drive crashes? Not to mention, your parents and especially grandparents love looking through prints, books and albums. Your wedding album will be one of your most treasured possessions. This is why we suggest prints & albums.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We ask for a phone call but prefer a face-to-face meeting. We are determining if the client is a good fir for us; just as they are trying to determine if we are a good fit. We must know their wedding date to avoid scheduling conflicts, they must let us know if our price point is aligned with their budget. We share specifics of what we offer, why we are unique and ask for client's photographic priorities. Once we both agree we are a good fit, we ask for a deposit to hold their date. They have 30 days to shop and compare. At the end of 30 days, if they don't choose us, then we refund half the deposit. We keep half because we have removed them from our calendar so we can't shop that date. We rarely have folks find a better value and better fit. After the 30 days we talk about next steps as it pertains to their wedding day.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I belong to Professional Photographers of America (PPA). I take 2 classes a year on various topics to keep me fresh. I am classically trained as an architect and have a graduate degree from an Ivy League school - Univ of Pennsylvania. I understand lighting, spacial sequences and emotions on a very high level. I have study emotional intelligence. It's this that allows me to be on point for wedding photography as I watch, follow and capture the emotions of the day.
