​
As we usually capture and upload many more images to your gallery than the number of images included with your package, we are always happy to upgrade your package to another package.
A few things to consider...Keep in mind when considering which package works for you, for the larger packages there will be more of a variety of shots and poses taken and a longer photoshoot, so if you are hoping for many images you should opt for a larger package ahead of time rather than say we will wait and decide later.

Dear Don and Kathy,
Words cannot express how beautifully you captured our love for each other on our wedding day. Not only in our vows, but in our gorgeous photos. You helped turn a rainy dreary day into a magical moment we will never forget.
Mike and I have known and loved each other for a long time. It was one of those stories where we both knew we should be together but we had both made commitments to other people and the timing was never right. Six years ago, things changed and we began dating and haven’t left each other’s sides since.
When the ceremony started, Mike looked at me and said “are you really here?” because he knew that was what was going through my mind. “is this really happening?” after loving him for so long, it was a dream I had always hoped would come true. And now it has and we have pictures to prove it!
You both witnessed an event that was 16 years in the making and will last for a very long time. I am so happy that you were there and that you could stay and celebrate with us. It was a pleasure having you there and an honor to have you marry us.
From the bottom of our hearts…. Thank you.
