So you're tying the knot. It's the day of days. It's monumental planning with a million details, photography being one of the major ones. Because we have thirty plus years of wedding photography to our credit, we have perfected a six step start to finish process that leaves no detail unturned.

Step One, The Engagement: The question's been popped and you're officially a couple. Your engagement photographs mark the occasion of your "couplehood" and allow you to share your joy with friends, family and the rest of the world. They also make great enclosures for announcements or save the date cards. As a client, an engagement session is included with our wedding coverages.  

Step Two, The Choices: Using our exclusive Album Customizer, you will have the opportunity to select which images you would like taken on your wedding day. For inspiration, you will see samples of different styles: photojournalistic, spot colored, traditional, black and white, etc. You will probably see things you didn't even know you wanted. And if you don't see what you had in mind, we'll be happy to work with you.

Step Three, The Details: About a month before the wedding, we'll meet with you (and hopefully your parents) to finalize the remaining details. We'll review your Album Customizer selections, your locations, and timing issues. You can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that your photographer understands exactly what is important to you.

Step Four, The Big Day: We'll start with your preparation at home, move on to the ceremony and then back to our state-of-the-art studio and gardens. Our studio is geared for large groups of up to forty and is designed with every comfort in mind. There's a special room for those last minute touch-ups and a cozy deck where you can take in the beauty of the gardens. And oh, those gardens. Once you see them, we don't think you'll want to go anywhere else, but if you prefer, we will accompany you to an alternate site of your choosing. Lastly, it's on to the celebration.

Step Five, The Results: Can't wait to relive the day? No problem. We are the only photographer in Cleveland with the ability to show you your album just a few days after your wedding. Using our Virtual Album computer, we'll help you custom design your album so that it is a true reflection of your individual style. You may prefer a traditional album with gold trimmed mats. Or you may favor the "not your Mother's wedding album" look of a digital collage. Digital albums are all the rage. The end result is a "Wedding Book" for all to enjoy, a "book" that looks like no other.

Step Six, Share the Joy: Your images will be posted on our web site so that friends and relatives can enjoy them and easily place orders for their favorites. You may also want your parents to receive a DVD of your images to make it easy for them to make their selections. In addition to the convenience factor, the DVD is a stunning presentation of your proofs set to music and special effects. Far superior to paper proofs, it's a wonderful way to watch the day happen all over again. Your DVD is available to you after you design your album. Enjoy! Relive the memories of your special day again and again in the pages of your album, your DVD, and the portraits you display.
