  • What was your favorite wedding photo? I have dozens of favorites! These are the best pictures I've ever had done of my husband and myself.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? He was great. Never 'paparazzi style' in our face, but still managed to get great pictures.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? I got the engagement session, album, 12 hours of the photographers time, and the rights to our negatives.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? My husband, friends, and family all loved him. We still talk about how much fun it was.

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? I'm a teacher and had a bunch of my students come over for a photo, it is adorable! My photographer had them staggered around me and my husband, instead of just lining us up.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? He laughed and had fun with us, just as if he were an old friend. He caught many great candid shots and "manufactured" some more with a little direction.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? I got a contemprary, magazine style album and the engagement session was included.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? He was very professional and very easy to approach. His answer was always, Sure, we can do that!

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? There were way too many great pictures to pick just one. Since I have to, I'll say it was a picture of my husband and I walking by a pond with geese and a fountain in the background. We stopped at a park before the reception.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Our photographer was a calming influence all day long. She knew what to do and helped us keep on schedule.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We seemed to get everything with our package. Album, engagement session, all the pictures on DVD, and we also got a free canvas. It's beautiful!
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She was so confident, relaxed, and never frantic. She gave us help with what to do and just seemed to be having fun.

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? My daughter was our flower girl and we had the most beautiful picture taken hugging at the alter after the ceremony with my husband looking on. I will cherish this picture forever.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? I don't really know how he did it, but I didn't notice him very much. I think that is part of the point. We got so many great shots, a little of everything - action, candids, and portraits.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? It seemed like everything was included, they have what they call an all inclusive package. We got our proof book and our digital negatives for free, without having to buy other things to "qualify" for them. It was one of the reasons we booked Essence to begin with.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? He was just a really nice guy. The first thing he did when he walked in the door after introducing himself to me was to walk over to my parents and introduced himself to them also. He made himself very approachable all day.

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? At the end of our first dance, my husband dipped me and gave me a kiss. Our photographer caught it at the perfect time and I was shocked to see it after the wedding.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? We didn't even know he was there half the time. Everyone was caught being completely natural. We liked the posed pictures and he was very good at posing us, but we really liked the action shots better.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We got the album that was designed on the computer and it is beautiful. We also ordered many regular pictures of various sizes. Both of our parents also got their own albums.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? He just let us be ourselves.
