Vince was super responsive and was in tune to our headshot session. He had a bunch of great ideas for backdrops and the execution was great. He’s was easy to work with and the photos came out just how I wanted.

I contacted Capital City Photography after having used two other photographers whose work I did not care for. I did a google search of local photographers and Thumbtack popped up with quite a handful. I decided to go with Capital City due to seeing their work. We scheduled a session, and he was very understanding about the setting and the place chosen. We like relaxed, natural, and to be able to take our time. He worked with us throughout the entire session and was very polite. Just got the photos and they are fabulous. He promised we would love them, and he is correct.

Details: Family or children's portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • I'm flexible • Digital or online download • Physical proofs and prints • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Vince was incredibly professional and passionate when taking our couple photos. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, which really shows in the natural and candid shots he captured. His attention to detail and creative eye are truly impressive, and he went above and beyond to ensure every photo was perfect. Not only is he a talented photographer, but he's also a genuinely great person who made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and are absolutely thrilled with the results!

Details: Couples portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am looking to grow my wedding portfolio so I am giving considerable one-time discounts to elopement and wedding clients for 2025.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start by discussing your vision and needs, then schedule a session. Before the shoot, we’ll talk about outfit choices, location, and any specific requests. After the session, you'll receive your edited photos via an online gallery.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have years of experience capturing couples, portraits, headshots, and family moments, coupled with a passion for creating images that tell a story. I continue learning and improving through photography workshops and client feedback.
