Wedding Photography
We
operate in
story telling mode all day long, so you can relive the fun of your special
day, and share it with
those who couldn't make it in
person.
We cover the bride and groom as they get ready, the ceremony, the entire reception, and the departure from the reception and into their new life.
But that's not where we start. First we do engagement photos.
A two ( 2) pose engagement photo session is included with our wedding
package if the photo location is in the
Dayton, Ohio area. (A travel fee
is charged if the engagement session is outside the Dayton area.)
Engagement sessions include an Internet gallery for you to choose pictures from within 3 days, two (2) 8x10 or 8x12 prints, four (4) wallet size prints and eight (8) mini-prints (1.75" x 2.5".)
We will try to capture poses you want during the preparation, wedding and reception, but our specialty is to get lots of candid shots during all phases of the wedding and reception.
About a week after the wedding, you'll get a link to the web gallery that will include the pictures you'll have to choose from.
Sometimes we're asked how many pictures we take. The truth is we don't count while we shoot. We take pictures as they happen, and put them up for your review.
Sometimes we take 200-300 pictures at an event, sometimes 500-600. For longer events, we've taken 900 pictures (or more.)
Sometimes we take pictures in bursts (to prevent "oops, they blinked," or capture a range of emotions,) and several pictures will be almost exactly the same. That's why we don't charge by the number of pictures we take.
You can't predict how many photos you'll need, and neither can we.

You can control your costs by choosing how many photos you ask us to fine-tune for prints, and/or for inclusion in a wedding book or DVD for prints. And if you change your mind later, we maintain an archive from past events. Parent/Friend books are available also.
Our standard wedding coverage is $799, for full day coverage.
This includes up to 50 photos fine-tuned for inclusion in a book, or a DVD you can use for prints.
It also includes a DVD slide show and computer screen saver created from your top 50 photos. (Additional copies of the DVD slide show and computer screen saver are available at $15.00 per set.)
Prints (from the engagement session or the wedding) can also be ordered from the web gallery. Prices are $25.00 for an 8x10 (or 8x12,) $15.00 for a 4x6 or 5x7.
This includes fine-tuning of the picture for brightness and contrast, and cropping (if needed.) It does not include re-touching, such as removal of an item in the background. (We can do that, it's an extra $10 per photo.)
For those photos that aren't fine-tuned, a web quality CD is available for $25.00, a high resolution CD/DVD to print from, is an additional $100.00.
Please keep in mind, we are true photojournalists, and have covered events that range from Hillary Clinton's visit to Dayton to concerts to the Wright State University ArtsGala (for the last four years) so we don't have all the 'traditional' poses memorized. (Most often, we get asked to photograph family groups and wedding party groups, so that's not a problem.)
Our photos have been published in the Dayton Daily News (and their online event and "You've Been Spotted" web galleries) as well as magazines and newspapers around the world.
We are also available to be your 'second shooter' if you have already selected a wedding photographer. We stay out of their way, and create our own photos.
Having us a 'second shooter' gives your primary photographer the chance to get better photos also, since it gives both of us a chance to let what appears to be a great photo develop without as much worry. Since we often work in environments with several photographers this is not a problem for us.
Our creative fee to be a second shooter is $299, and you'll get a web gallery to choose prints from. If you want a DVD to print from, it's an additional $100.00.
We can also provide video coverage of your wedding through our association with TMC Video.
Full video wedding coverage is $1500, but we can also have a photographer shoot limited video for an additional $200.00, plus video editing. (Many events in our video archive, such as Twilight on the Greene, the 13th Annual Celebrity Concert for Charity were created this way.)
Video editing costs $25.00 per hour, and averages 5 - 10 hours for a basic wedding video from footage shot by a photographer.
