Wedding coverage starts at $2,400 for the 2009 season. The new wedding packages offer a custom storybook photo album to capture the essence of your special day. Storybook albums are the best way to showcase your wedding day.

Photography is the only way to relive your wedding and it takes an awesome photographer to do that. Brides can't pay too much for photography. Pay too little and you stand to lose your money and the memory of your special day.

When booking your wedding photographer, here are some things you should consider: Do you want shadows on the wall from on-camera flash? Does your photographer attend rehearsal? Does your photographer provide you with some guidance on how to stand during the ceremony? Can they handle shooting in poorly lit churches without a flash? How much experience do they have outside of weddings?

Perhaps all that sounds too technical, but what makes my photography different is that I feel a genuine kinship with the couples I photograph. I really buy into your story. I give a sincere effort to learn about who you are by spending a great deal of time photographing your wedding. The photos and your wedding are something I take personally.

Another key difference is the number of good photos you'll have to chose from. I often shoot more than 1,000 photos at a wedding, which yields about 300-400 photos for you to consider. That's still more than you need, but isn't that the idea? Your photographer should be able to give you a lot more choices than you need rather than shooting a minimal number of images.

Every wedding day offers shining moments that are totally unique from all others. And your memory of those moments is totally up to your photographer.
