Why professional photography?
The
photography perspective is different for every couple. Why are
photos so important on your wedding day? Is it just a
matter of recording the day for archival purposes? or is it
something more?
I believe
that this "something more" is what will determine which type of
photography is suited to you. My mission as a photographer is to show the viewer, you,
just how magical I see you and the events of
your day. I also believe that every moment and every
person at a wedding holds a part of the spirit of the day with
them. My "job" or more to the point, my pleasure is to find those moments and put it all in images
to narrate the whole day.
What do we want our wedding images to be like?
We want
fun and different images. We want to feel the moment again when
we see our wedding photos. Are you the kind of photographer who
takes all posed pictures?
I rarely
pose pictures. I get right into the mood and the action as soon
as I get there. My lenses are everywhere and I rarely miss a
moment. Sure, there are going to be the few family photos that
are necessary if only to protect the integrity of the day. There
are also going to be the few staged images with the bride and
groom. But it is mostly about moments and what goes through your
mind at the moment. In other words, your story will be
essentially carried by photojournalistic type images. See some

How do we re-live these moments through the end product?
The You
will receive your DVD Slide Shows in a beautiful case. One DVD
is for your home DVD player and one is for your PC. But that's
not all, You get additional copies of the slide shows for your
parents. This is one way to be in the moment again through my
eyes. In fact, this is the first thing you will see after your
wedding day. You will also receive your 500 high resolution
images that you can print from on another disc. On your own or
at a professional photo lab. these are high quality images all
enhanced just the way you saw them in the slide show. To help
you decide which images you want in your art book you will have
your proofs book. This book has all your images with each their
own ID #. Your own private online gallery will be hosted by Your
Eye on Photo. Your guests will be able to see all the your
professional images on line. This is also an easy way to share
with friends and family who were not able to attend.

Why talk to our photographer first?
How are
you co-ordinating your wedding day? Do you have a wedding
planner? As a photographer I am no expert on how to decorate the
reception hall or what to include in a ceremony. But I do have
expertise at how long it would take to record all the different
parts of the day.
The day
speak for itself, the way you planned is the way the events will
unfold. But how much time should you plan to photograph all the
preps? Typically, the bride is the one who needs more time. The
groom can also have his prep time photographed but it takes a
bit less time. Also typically, the groom and groomsmen are
photographed at the ceremony site about one hour before the
start of the ceremony. Depending on where the ceremony is, Where
the girls and the boys are getting ready, together, we customize
times and locations. This is only one aspect. How long do we
need for the family photos? You may need more time than was
originally planned between the ceremony and the reception if you
want the full bridal coverage and if there is much travel time
involved. These are just some points to consider. We will talk
in detail about all this at our consultation. If you have a
wedding planner, it's a good idea for the photographer and the
planner to have a brief meeting.

Fashion Edition?
Are you
leaving right away for your honeymoon? Did you get around to
those fashion type shots on the wedding day? Do you want to show
off your dress and wear it again? The brides who have
experienced the Fashion Edition photo shoot, have found it very
liberating, fun and could not believe our time was up. If you've
always wanted photos of you that look like magazine covers, this
is your chance. On the wedding day, we try to get some of those
in but it's not always possible due to time constraints and
especially due to the fear that something would happen to the
dress. You still need to make your entrance after all...
The Fashion Edition shoot, sometimes known as the "Trash the
Dress" photo shoot, is not about trashing your dress. It's more
about not worrying if it does. If you did want to Trash you
Dress... Not in anger but in liberation. you can have it all on
"film" as we use to say. After all when are you going to wear
your wedding gown again? We schedule this the day after the
wedding if possible or after you get back from your honeymoon.
You won't have a worry in the world. This can be done with both
bride and groom if you wish.

Why do you photograph the engagement also?
Your
engagement is when it really happened isn't it? This is
when you both decided you wanted to spend the rest of your life
together. From then on, you became closer especially while
planning your wedding. My sense of commitment as a story teller
compels me to include the engagement session in a wedding. In my
mind, this is when your stories became your STORY and I want to
record it. The engagement photo session allows us - you two as a
couple and me as your image maker - to get to know each other
and to smooth things out photo wise.
From this session you will receive your enhanced proofs on disc
and in a proof book and a hosted on line private gallery. See

What
upgrades are available?
You can
include an artist choice album, Thank you cards, a Fashion
Edition photo shoot or increase the coverage time. You will find
details in our wedding brochure
Why does the basic coverage not include the reception?
The heart
of the day is in the preparation and in the moment where you
promise to each other before all who you love and care about.
Add a few fun shots with the bridal party and fun and
close moments with the bride & groom and the essence of the day
is captured. After that, it's all fun and spontaneity and I
would be pleased to capture those moments for you as well. But
let's look behind the scene. For each hour of capture, there are
generally 2 hours of post production work. Each additional hour
is in reality 3 hours. You can add another 3 hours to cover the
reception but I leave this to your discretion.
