I wouldn’t do that for just anybody, but a few weeks ago my dear (adorable, hilarious) friend Michelle told me she was getting married, and by the way would I photograph it for her?

Um, yes. Of course! So, we made it happen!

These are just a couple images from the day – Michelle was so calm and radiant the whole day!

More to come!

Look at that face!

I photographed Zach and Hannah’s wedding a few years ago, and was so excited that they asked me to take some new family portraits while I was in town over Thanksgiving.

This is just a little preview with more to come …

I’m interested to see which image they choose for Christmas cards!

shopping for our first home …. so so excited

What have you been up to lately?

It’s a common questions, and definitely something to consider when you hire a photographer for any reason….

Do I get my photos?

The short answer is YES

The long answer is:

All of my wedding packages, as well as my portrait sessions, include a disc of images.

Some photographers may give you the option of purchasing the disc of images, but I have it built into the cost of services already. Every photographer has their own point-of-view when it comes to giving clients access to the negatives/digital high-res files. You’ll want to discuss this with each photographer.

But my philosophy is …. This is YOUR life. These images are of your family members, your children, your wedding – and you deserve to archive them however you see fit.  The photographer legally retains copyright to the images created, but ACCESS to those images is something you should have without a problem.

I know that most of my couples are DIYers. I know that a lot of you are crafty and will want to have the images at your finger tips for future scrapbooking, photo projects, etc. I’ve seen custom thank-you cards done, collages, as well as Christmas cards 9 months after the fact.

After your wedding (or portrait session) – you receive a link to your images online. A password-protected gallery has been created for you to share with family and friends. This makes it really easy to purchase prints to be shipped directly to you, or for your friends and family to purchase prints (so you don’t have to worry about taking their orders).

You will ALSO receive a disc of images. Included on the disc will be a folder of the all high-resolution, edited and enhanced images, as well as a folder of low-resolution, web-ready images (for your blog, Facebook, etc). The images in your gallery and the images on the disc will be the same. No part of your images will be held hostage for extra money – there’s no reason you can’t just take the disc and print images off your printer if you want to.

I really want your wedding memories to be something that you treasure …. and having the disc of images and access to your photos at any time is a big part of that.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or any questions in the comments below!
