Wedding Photography
The story of your day captured in detail, the feeling remembered forever!
Whatever you wish for your ceremony we will help you do. 
We've done literally hundreds of weddings and can confidently say that we are very, very good at it. While all ceremonies follow a certain structure, anything is possible - your imagination is the limit. But then, you have us, so there is no limit. Having done so many weddings, we have many cool tips to enhance the wedding ceremony experience. For example - we always place the bride and groom facing each other between the minister and the audience so that everyone can see everyone - especially the photographer. The traditional positioning, face towards minister and back towards the audience makes some sense in a church setting - but it ruins the pictures and takes away the best part: audience seeing you and you seeing them. Imagine a theater play where the actors spent all their time with their backs towards you. Another little thing that we always recommend, and have never seen other officiants do, is seating parents on the "wrong" side. Thus, as the bride is on the left, have her parents seat on the right. This will allow her to see her 
parents during the ceremony and her parents will be able to see her tears and emotions as well, much better than looking at the back of her head for 20 minutes. Look at this wedding ceremony photo. It is taken from the where the groom's mother "traditionally" sits. She can look at the back of the head of her son during the whole ceremony. The same would be true for the bride's mother on the other side. Sure she can see her daughter in law, but really now, wouldn't any mother rather see her own child's face during the wedding? Now, swap mothers' (and fathers') seating positions and mother and daughter and mother and groom can exchange glances during this most special and unique moment. Try to find such ideas anywhere else.
To have a fabulous ceremony, there are several things that need to be done, but with experience they are relatively simple. We describe all that you'll ever need to know about wedding ceremonies below. A good minister can organize all this in 10 minutes, at least all our ministers do. Many other officiants will make this sounds like a big deal
to justify crazy officiant fees. In fairness to some officiants out there, there are two things we do not do: interview for the job and represent that this will take a lot of time and effort.
Interview (meeting before you make a reservation): everything you ever wanted to know about us as ministers in on this web site. Moreover, we'd be happy to chat on the phone if you need to hear our voice. But interviewing for a one hour job is not economical. People who do this will charge you a lot of money.
Time and Effort: organizing and personalizing a wedding ceremony takes a lot of work for the officiant either if they are inexperienced or if they make it sound so. We are good and we feel guilty to ask for more money than we earn.
So what do we do then, you're probably thinking...
We can put together a unique ceremony script in two ways: Option 1. we'll email you several ready made wedding scripts with instructions to mix and match paragraphs, insert and remove anything you want. We'll then review your work and will provide you suggestions. We can email back and forth until you are satisfied. On the wedding day, we'll arrive 30 minutes before the cwhy do we spend so much energy explaining that this business is simpler that many people make it sound? Because we believe fair pricing is what nice business people do and because we love what we do. "Pay it forward" if you appreciate being treated this way and, someday, the world will be a much nicer place. So read on and make a reservation today. Our calendars do not stay open for too long.
