Our photographers are very well qualified to cover your event alone, however having two photographers gives you coverage from two different vantage points - something that is very important in our signature photojournalistic style. It also allows one of the photographers to take risks and explore more creative angles and perspectives. We think it’s extremely beneficial to have two photographers at most wedding events.

Call the studio or contact us via our website contact page to discuss and schedule your session. We will send an online booking agreement that you will use to confirm your session.

While our timeline is to have images from your event on-line and ready to view within 3 weeks of your session, we are often able to deliver them much sooner.
