There are four things that separate us from other wedding photographers:
1| No time limits
2| Two photographers to record the event
3| Copyright release on all photos with an easy-to-use online proofing and ordering system
4| Creative artistic effects expertly applied to enhance photographs.

No time limits.
My wife and I believe that wedding photography should not be about “time limits.” The bride and groom don’t need to be worrying on their wedding day if they’ve gone past their “time limit” with the photographer.

Therefore, you know we’ll be with you from before the wedding starts (often we start as early as 2-3 hours before the ceremony) until the reception ends making sure to capture all those once-in-a-lifetime photographs. We’re there all day for you. Our goal is to capture those many candid moments hours before the ceremony begins until the bride and groom depart after the reception is over.

Two photographers.
Secondly, we believe to appropriately record your wedding, you need two photographers. Weddings are fast-moving events and to capture those special moments properly takes two people to be in different locations. My wife and I have been married over 20 years and it is our joy to work together to creatively document your wedding day. Every wedding we do, we do together.

Copyright release with easy-to-use online proofing and print-ordering system.
Some photographers charge for their time to photograph the event AND also charge exorbitantly for every print you want. Although we maintain the copyright of every photo we take, we release the copyright to the bride and groom. We upload all the photos to our web site where you can get prints directly or you can choose to have the photos printed where you choose.

Artistic effects available.
Since Mike is formally trained as a designer and illustrator he knows how to convert those “certain special photos” into creative memories that will last a life time.
