Wedding photography is a delicate process that requires a professional touch. I've shot numerous weddings and have a wide variety of wedding styles that include traditional and the now-popular “Wedding Photojournalism” style. My online portfolio represents wedding work shot within the last few years, NOT the absolute best from 20 years. I believe that a wedding photographer is only as good as his/her last wedding!
I offer six (6) packages that can fit into almost any budget. From a very basic package that will simply document the event - to a deluxe package that includes all the high resolution digital files (or negatives) and a deluxe custom designed wedding album.

Online Print Costs:
My online wedding print costs are very low as compared to
many other wedding photographers. The standardized prices remain low because
I don't like to make money from the work that others do. Here are the prices
that you'll see in your online gallery after your wedding is completed:
