Image Processing (editing and color correction) and Image Acquisition:
We have always been very careful about how we process our images - our very name implies that fact. We used to do custom printing for other photographers. We will spend many hours properly color correcting your wedding. Take a look at the thousands of sample images on this website - almost none were specially corrected for this website - they were what the client received.
We offer the client their files with full rights - printable files up to 5x7 right away and Full Res files are available for an additional charge that is discounted when an album is purchased.
Online Viewing and Ordering:
In addition to any other form of proofing clients have contracted for, we will always place your wedding images on a private website for you and make them available for secure online viewing and ordering by friends and family. The service can include password protection if so desired. The service has several inducements built in: all guests who pre-register with the site before it becomes active with the images (about four weeks after the wedding) receive a $5 gift certificate toward online orders, all orders within the first 30 days the site is active receive two prints for the price of one for any print they order, and the wedding couple receive credit toward large prints based on both the number of pre-registrations and total of online orders within the first 30 days the site is active.
Custom Designed Coffee Table Albums
We offer an extensive collection of albums to accommodate every wedding budget. Please come by our studio to see our sample albums full of our work. Below is just a sample of our album pricing. We carry several other albums not currently listed. In addition, the Craftsmen and Queensberry albums - see next page - can actually be created as hybrid albums where one page is a "flush" coffee-table like album and the next is a traditional matted page. Very cool.
We have the perfect album for you!

Traditional Style Matted Albums:
Futura Bound Art Leather Albums are updated
versions of the classic fine bridal album -
black matted pages with gilded edges -
library bound so the pages lay flat and align perfectly.
Sumptuous leather covers.
Images of the Futura Bound album
Leather Craftsmen Albums are double matted
albums where the images are dry mounted to a base
mat and a top mat frames both.
The base and top mat can be various combinations
of colors. These are spectacularly elegant traditional albums.
For the Leather Craftsmen price, just add $5 per image
to the Art Leather price for hand dry mounting each
image into the album. The result is very elegant.
Queensberry albums allow images to cross the center
and "wings" may be added to album pages
at a reasonable charge.

and Traditional Matted image presentation in one album.

A Final Note About High Quality
We are high quality because we don't cut corners:
We are a group of knowledgeable professionals with a combined 100+ years of experience and various college degrees in photography or graphic arts, not dilettantes pretending to be capable of professional quality. You are encouraged to personally meet with your photographer any time and certainly at a final planning before the wedding.
We can and do use real studio lighting (with gels when preferable).
We will manually custom correct each image individually.
We custom design all our finished albums with you in-house by professional graphic designers - not out of state and with few design choices. Unlike most studios, you actually meet with your designer. We offer you totally unique custom design from scratch by a professional graphic designer on Photoshop (no templates). Each album is a unique work of art.
We like to emphasize that we offer extremely high quality and complete photography services.
