About Our Wedding Photography.
We photographed our first wedding nearly 20 years ago, and we have loved photographing them ever since. Wedding photographers play a very special role in your wedding day. On the one hand, you want them there to document the occassion and create beautiful images. On the other hand, you don't want them interrupting the festivities with directions and requests to stop and pose.
We bring our joy of photography and love of weddings to each of our wedding coverages. Our philosophy is to document and make you and your family look their very best. Afterall, a lot of work and expense goes into putting on a wedding - after it is all said and done, you are going to want gorgeous photographs of it. Our style is very laid back - we generally try to interfere and be active participants in the day as little as possible, preferring to let family and friends enjoy themselves without distraction. Our goal are natural, relaxed images which show you at your best and document the emotion of your wedding day.
Know that, when we are photographing your wedding, you will be free to enjoy your day with as little or as much direction from us as you would like.

Wedding Photography Registry.
Traditionally, wedding gifts have been intended to get the newly wed couples off to a good start in creating a new household - kitchen tools and dishware, things of that nature. However, as couple are living together longer before marrying, they often do not need many of these things. They have already created their household. This leaves those guests who would like to purchase a gift for the couple in a quandary.
The wedding photography registry is similar to a normal wedding registry, in that it is a way to allow your guests to give you a gift which they know you really want and that you enjoy for the rest of your lives. Your guests can give you the gift of your wedding photography.
Much like a traditional wedding registry, you can pre-select certain items and make it known to your guests that this is a wedding gift you would really appreciate.
