2009 Q2 10th Place - Creative Portrait

The A La Carte Menu starts (at $4500) with wedding day coverage by Sarah and one assistant photographer, your image collection on archival discs, rights to print, a convenient image reference book, and an album credit. Within 1-2 weeks of your wedding the online gallery (password protected) will go live and I'll post a slideshow of favorites. An engagement shoot and sign-in album is always included. I offer additional services and options (photobooth, extra hours) if you wish to expand upon the foundation coverage.

I take pride in offering a variety of the most beautiful and well-made albums to satisfy the most discriminating couple's taste and vision, and I *love* designing custom books of my work. I am always searching out brilliant new products to offer my clients. Through an extensive A La Carte Menu my clients are able to augment their package to include extra hours of coverage, a photobooth at the reception, parent gift albums, print collections, slideshow discs, wall displays, as well as save the date or thank you cards and much more.

Wall portraits are available as framed works, or more modern hangings may be face mounted on plexi, printed on metal, or lighter canvas gallery wraps. Custom paintings can be created from an image of your choice, as digital artistry is one of my passions.

Please contact me for more information. I always welcome prospective clients to visit me in my studio so they can view my work in person and get a feel for what the products and albums are like-- that's the only way to understand the value of the services I can offer, and of course meeting in person allows us to get to know one another and see if we'd be a good match!,

"I still can't get over how amazing the photos are!! It is going to be really hard to narrow down our favorites. We have already started hearing from people about how awesome our fphotos are, and many people have said-- and Brenda and I agree-- that you and dmitry were great bcause we never felt like we were posing for a picture. It just happened without us ever really being aware of it Thank you for that! - Kelly I just saw the slides show and it looks AWESOME! I want to see MORE!! I an't get enough... Thank you so much for everything. It has been a pleasure to work with you and everything that you have done has been great. Our family was so impressed with you and the guestbook.

Married August 15th, 2009
"Anna and I are both astounded by the pictures. Our families love them, and we have received countless awed emails. When we hired you, I had high expectiations given what I knew of your work. Everything about working with you exceeded those high expectations. On the day of the wedding you were organized, thorough, didn't intrude in any way, and mad me feel at ease about getting my picture taken (no small feat for me.) And, in the actual pictures, we both look so happy and Anna looks so beautiful. In almost all of the pictures of Anna I can almost tell what she's thinking behind each of her smiles. I am running out of ways to say what a positive experience it was, except that we are thrilled. Please let me know if I could write a blurb for your marketing materials, and feel free to send potential...more "
