Engagement Photo Shoot 

I offer a free engagement photo session for perspective buyers and booked weddings alike.  I feel strongly that you should try everything before you buy it, including a wedding photographer.  We'll set up a shoot on location at the perfect spot close to you.  Within twenty-four hours your proofs will be online for you to make selections in a password protected page.  Prints from the shoot will be made immediately available for you to purchase.  

Bridal Shoot   

Many brides try out the hair and makeup a few months before the wedding.  It is usually offered as a free service by the vendor.  If you bring your wedding dress along as well you have all the makings for a bridal shoot.   

Some florists will also offer a sample of the bouquet you have selected.  Invite your bridesmaids to help you along and you'll have everything you need.  

Use an oversize print from your engagement shoot or bridal shoot at the registry table of your wedding.  It will make a welcome addition to your home. 

Wedding Day Photographs

Together we can capture it all.  The wedding party helping you prepare,  the family and friends  gathering for the ceremony, and of course photographs of the couple taking some time before the wedding.  I like to  shoot the posed shots we are all familiar with and a mix of the candid images that make your wedding unique.   My style blends traditional wedding photography and the photojournalist wedding photography approach together with hints of modern, pop and fine art.

The Wedding Ceremony  Think about the ring bearers, the bride and her father walking down the aisle, your own mother's tears during the ceremony,  the flowers, the candles, the rings.  It sounds so simple but it's important to capture these photos in a style you will be able to enjoy for the rest of your life.  Take the time to find a wedding photographer here in Portland that suits your taste.

The Reception

Your friends and family will all be celebrating your new life. All the traditions and dancing will be captured in the moment for you to remember.  At the wedding and reception I almost exclusively shoot in a photojournalist style. You won't see too many posed wedding photographs in my work.  It's best to capture people in a photograph how they really are.

Exclusive and boutique wedding photographers in Portland are incorporating more photojournalist wedding photographs into their albums.  My wedding photography technique incorporates the "old fashion"  posed wedding photographs and the photojournalist style. Both techniques are important for remembering your wedding day.

The Edit

This is where my images inherit their style.  Each image is edited by hand, retouched if necessary, color corrected and prepared for print. People, unflattering shadows and unwanted objects seem to make it into even the best of the photos from time to time. All of these things are taken care of for you. You can not plan for all the errors but it's good to know that anything can be edited out.  All of these services are included with the cost of your package.  Big package or small, everyone gets the the highest level of quality and attention to detail.

Your Photos Are made available to you in any format you choose. 

The WebA website will be created for you the evening of the ceremony.  Your friends and family can view and purchase their own copies online or you can purchase a wedding package that includes a little something for everyone in your party. Your shoot will be posted behind the velvet rope, so to speak.  A password will be required to view your images in order to protect your family's privacy.

Proofs are printed up and delivered to you as soon as they have been edited.  All 500 - 1000 of them are sent in a no frills proof album. They are yours to keep.  I encourage you to help select the best to arrange in your wedding album.

Albums are custom designed and mounted to your taste in the hand crafted leather album of your choice. You can pick your Wedding album style, size color and binding method.  I take a great deal of pride in creating wedding albums from the finest materials available. 

Prints are available in any size you require.  I can provide you with your prints alone or mounted framed and matted.

Negatives

Negatives are recorded to CD in Jpg format.  If you require slides or another formats let me know.  I'm glad to provide you with anything you need.  Additional charges may apply for unique formats.
