• FAQ:  Why should we retain you as a photographer?  You'll see that we are dependable, artistic and creative, giving you that warm and fuzzy feeling as we create your wedding day story!  Comfortable to be around, Bruce and I will make your photography experience relaxed and fun! Usually, Bruce and I shoot weddings as a team - so most frequently when you hire us, you get two photographers for the price of one!  We also offer "Ceremony only" photography, saving you money. We not only photograph beach and chapel weddings, but are happy to photograph your church, home or ballroom event!

• 

• FAQ:  A little about our background?  To date we have shot over 350 weddings, and celebrate our 25th year together. My husband Bruce and I have grown in our relationship as we work as a team on all our weddings !  We have 3 grown children and 2 grandsons - as we look back through our wedding album, knowing we didn't consider hiring a wedding photographer;  the end result was the designated "picture" taker's flash didn't work, the photos were dark - they were film photos - no back up camera - and needless to say our album is pitiful! I only share this with to let you know that we are committed to making sure you have the very best photos to remember your wedding day story!  Additionally, Victoria's design background, will guarantee the Bride will receive those detail shots she spent so much time choosing!

• 

• FAQ:  Can we get our pictures right away?  We are not "shoot & burn photographers" - meaning you won't receive your disk of photos immediately following the wedding - but we will get them to you as quickly as possible - BEWARE of offers to hand you a disk of pictures immediately following your wedding!  We know you want the very best photos for your album, scrapbook or framed collage, and we want to save you time & money!

• FAQ:  Why do you think timing is so important?  As experienced wedding photographers, we know the importance of timing at your wedding - there are no second chances - we know when it's going to happen, and we'll be ready!  With two photographers typically on site and multiple cameras ready set to shoot with a variety of lenses in place, we're sure to cover all the angles - no changing lenses mid stream!  Zoom to close up, our experience is invaluable!

• 

• FAQ:  Do you photograph church weddings?  Of course!  We're sensitive to the different venues and preferences by clergy regarding ceremonies and unobtrusive photography - so we do our best to stay back, use zoom lenses and natural light vs. flash.  Your ceremony is sacred, you don't want a photographer or videographer up in your face!

• FAQ:  What is your camera equipment?  We shoot in "raw digital negative format" so that we can capture every color depth and detail, and our high resolution Canon 5D and 30Ds give YOU photos that can be reproduced up to poster size!

• FAQ: How do you process our photos?   STEP 1. download all images from camera cards onto our hard drive and store originals on DVD.  STEP 2.  Sort through each image, positioning, turn heads up when needed, duplicate and crop some photos to create an artistic expression or cut out background distractions. STEP 3. Color correct, lighten or darken if needed.  STEP 4.  Categorize and name each photo, placing into folders to create an EZ catalog for you to review and select your favorite pics!  STEP 5.  Upload to online gallery and notify client they are ready!

• 

• FAQ:  What about the online gallery? ALL photos are uploaded to an online gallery for you to share the link with your friends & family, where you can purchase photos, or even create your own wedding album, greeting cards and announcements if you like!

• FAQ:  OKAY, sounds great, do we get anything else?  We give you a complimentary one page wedding announcement collage page! Your wedding CD or DVD will be protected in a beautiful leather-like disk album!  We keep all master copies in a stored back up vault!  We ship all wedding photo CDs and DVDs boxed to you via UPS Ground with tracking number!  You will receive your photos on a disk in either CD or DVD format depending on number of images, with a personalized color wedding photo cover, and the photos are copyright free for your personal use and enjoyment!  We can offer you additional personalized copies of your photos for parents starting at $12.50

Family & Friends Photographers It's great they will be attending, but they often delay & get in the way of the photographs needed to be taken to capture your moment.  Please ask them to stand behind me and snap their photos after I'm done as their flashes may interfere with lighting.  Remember you are paying me to take YOUR photos - make the best use of your money!
