Dear prospective bride and groom,
We used to offer 5 different collections and found that we made it too hard or too expensive for most brides. Now it’s simplified and is based on time so we offer either 4 hr. or 8 hr. collections that include the following.

Personalized 1.5 hr wedding Consultation – Most bride and grooms are on a budget and we realize that however we feel that chemistry is as or more important than price. We actually turn away more weddings away than we take because we feel so strong about it. Our style isn’t for everyone and we know that. We are not your granny’s traditional photo studio. We want fun brides who feel that amazing photographs of her wedding are very, very important to her. When we meet, it’s an interview for us and for you. We just want to offer our very best and the more we know about you and why you contacted us the better. Make sense?

Time and talent of David and Michele Reed – As a husband and wife team we know each other so well being married for the past 16 years and with the exception of a few weddings Michele has worked all the weddings with me for the past 4 years. Having two photographers gives you more images but also a man and woman’s perspective. Michele is good at getting those emotional story telling images. I am good at taking images which look like they should be in a magazine. We win because we love weddings and you win because you get really awesome images of your wedding day.

Archival DVD with print release – We take a lot of images on your wedding day. With that said we select only the best that show the love, fun and magic of what your wedding and reception are all about.  These final images include basic and some advanced retouching. All are color corrected, sharpened and black and white conversions on many of the images. I also include what I call signature images or artists choice that have a more vintage or color popped look based on your preferences, after our consult I will know which style you prefer. On the DVD I also include a list of professional photo labs that work directly with consumers so your able to order prints with the same quality I would normally offer you if you bought prints directly from me.

Customized online gallery for 90 days – You want your friends and family to enjoy your wedding photo’s right? We’ve selected Zenfolio for our online gallery and print partner after years of looking for the best way to show your images and an easy experience for print ordering if your guests choose to buy prints. During the reception we pass out sheets that ask for your guests email addresses if they want to view the photos when they are done. Just so you know we do not sell, trade or disturb them in any way after we send out the notice and instructions online. We also offer a 30% discount for prints that are ordered within the first 30 days to them. We want them to be excited when they see them and hopefully keep us in mind if they want a photo session or wedding in the future.

Albums, books and other cool things – Here is a biggie. We want you to purchase an album or book. Why? When all is said and done an album will be your most cherished wedding possession other than the ring on your finger. We photograph weddings to mark the start of what we hope is an amazing journey with your new spouse. As I have grown older and still very much in love with my wife I wish I would have spent the money to hire a professional and have a book of images. We didn’t and it’s something I still regret. When we eventually pass I know that it would be something that my kids would have wanted to have. The books we offer are the finest and best value I can offer brides with prices starting at $450 and they are awesome. The high end books are pieces of art and a true family heirloom starting at $1150. Well, I hope I didn’t bore you and you took the time to read all of this. If you would like to set up a no obligation consult feel free to call or email us. Either way we wish you an amazing wedding but more important than that is a journey of love and commitment with your new husband or wife.

God Bless, David and Michele
