Great experience! One of the biggest concerns we had while planning our wedding was the pictures. We wanted them to be perfect. Plus1 gave us exactly that. They were extremely receptive to our emails, no matter how many I sent (I was a bridezilla) and were open to anything that we wanted to do. They were professional, worked hard, and had what we found to be the most economical package around. We will definitely work with them again.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Determining exactly what the client needs is the most important factor. If it is a Wedding then we will sit down with the client and discuss their wedding, their location, their special wishes for images. If the photo shoot is for an Event we discuss what types of images they are needing, whether it is candid images with the participants or focusing on the main speaker, or a combination of both. Each job is very different so determining the needs for each client is very important.
What types of customers have you worked with?
We have worked with a large range of customers, each with very diverse needs; from photographing Ice Art Championships in Alaska to the Women Giving Circle to the Children's Art Auction. We work with architects who need projects photographed and documented to families who want everlasting images of their loved ones from newborns to pets!
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Each and every project holds wonderful memories for us because we get to create images that will last forever for our client.
