what we do

wedding services

I photograph your wedding, I do not pass this on to someone else. You meet me, we discuss your likes and dislikes, we work on a package. I am the one there to fulfill the contract. I may - at my discretion - have a photo assistant even for smaller weddings at no charge. On larger packages there maybe a second photographer and an assistant. There have been times with two extra shooters and two assistants.

I use top of the line digital cameras and the best lenses made for those cameras. I use battery powered lights and I bring commercial grade studio lights as the package requires. I also bring back up equipment for everything.

I book one wedding per day. Yours is the wedding of the day and where 100% of my attention will be directed. I arrive on time, dressed appropriately, I am professional and courteous to all.

wedding packages

I feel everyone should be able to have professional photography regardless of budget. I offer several packages - if you see something in one package that would make another package “perfect” for you – let’s talk. We can make some substitutions and hopefully accommodate you. Sometimes there are second marriages, smaller weddings and / or smaller budgets - we can create a package for those too.

With regards to the cost of Professional Wedding photographer – please read the diatribe on this page. (link) avoid the cheap wedding photographers.

There are, of course many other photo opportunities. The engagement portrait, the rehearsal dinner, family portraits (besides those that we take after the ceremony) and portrait sessions after the wedding which you might consider.

I keep current with popular trends in what and how the photographs are presented. Offered are several albums and presentation methods for your photos.

on line viewing / ordering

You will be able to view your wedding photos on line 2 – 3 weeks after your wedding date. They will be uploaded to – imdave.smugmug.com. There you will see a gallery prepared just for you. Entering a password (share it with as many people you choose) will give you access to every photo.

I provide online viewing and ordering for all packages.

The Bride and Groom will use the “Favorite Basket” to select their picks for production of proof books, should that be part of your package selection.

Prints maybe be ordered in any size by making selections at the various prompts. Selections made, a credit card is used for purchasing. Orders are shipped directly to you to the address (form) you fill out.

Any photograph can be produced as Color or Black and White.
