WEDDING SEASON TIME

Its Wedding Season Time

If you are planning a summer wedding let us help you from professional portraits to wedding coordinator. We are a husband and wife team. My husband Ed is the photographer and I (Anne) is the event coordinator. If... you hire both of us you will receive a 10% discount on your portrait package and a free 16x20 portrait.

Why hire a professional photographer when you can have a friend or family member take pictures? Well wouldn't you like that friend or family member to enjoy your special day instead of worrying that they got the pictures you want? We take pride in all our pictures and will do editing on them after the wedding to make sure you have the best quality portrait. We also do pre wedding portraits at no extra charge and rehearsal with our packages that start only at $1,000.00 .

As far as the wedding coordinator I will help you with a free consultation and go over your budget and help you set your priorities. I will help you find the right venue,dress,invitations,flowers,dj, limo,cake,caterer and be your emotional support. Weddings are an exciting time but also a stressful time. That's why you hire a wedding coordinator to do all the research for you, to help handle conflict between family members and friends.
