Our Style

 
We approach wedding photography in a very journalistic style capturing your day with an artistic touch. We will document your wedding day and capture it as though a story is being told. We want to capture your real emotion as well as traditional images. It is our goal that as you open your album a story will begin, keepsaking your day for you to enjoy over and over.

Two is better than one. We are a husband and wife team working to make your wedding day flow smoothly. Lisa will act as an assistant to both the bride and the photographer to get you to your reception as soon as possible.

Our technical style is high end digital photography. Why digital you may ask? After ten years of shooting medium format and 35 mm I too had a hard time believing that digital would compare to traditional processes. After experimenting and eventually purchasing the digital equipment I can say that digital has arrived and surpasses traditional photography.

Advantages of digital are quick turnaround, your proofs are online within ten business days of your wedding. Paper proofs are still available, family and guest can order reprints directly from the web. As photographers we can see as we go and know exactly what the lighting, color and environment is photographing like. The album photographs are printed on real photographic lifetime warranty Fuji crystal archive paper. Your images will be hosted online where you can share your day with your friends and family.
