Optional Services

The Love Story Session

A Love Story Album is a wonderful, fun way to show the romance and intimacy that the two of you share. The idea behind the Love Story Album is to tell your love story, in pictures, using settings that are meaningful to you. We might, for example, photograph you as a couple at the place where you first met, or at the place where you accepted his wedding proposal. Perhaps we could photograph the two of you sharing a favorite outdoor activity or a special, romantic location.

Engagement Portrait

A studio engagement portrait of the bride, or the bride and groom together, is a nice addition to any wedding album. The engagement portrait can be taken in our indoor studio or outdoor garden. Your outfits and poses can be either casual or formal. Images will be ready for review immediately following the session.

Bridal Boudoir Session

Bridal Boudoir is a sensual, natural, fun experience which can be tastefully captured the morning of the wedding day, or server al weeks before. "It can be an amazingly fun experience" - Wedding Photography Directory.

Boudoir refers to a woman's dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room - all of which represent beautiful things: the wonderful smells, the soft lighting, the stillness, and the woman inside preparing for something wonderful that is about to happen.

The session can be captured in the privacy of your home, your bedroom, in the space you choose, or our studio prior to the wedding day. It can be playful, powerful, sensual, sexy or glamorous depending on your level of comfort or personality. You can be photographed in your wedding gown, the things you hide underneath, lingerie or whatever else you choose.

This can be a wonderful surprise for the groom, or include him in the photography when the time is right.

Don't worry about those unflattering areas. We use many techniques, such as lighting, posing and retouching, to hide those areas. A female assistant is always present to help with posing at studio sessions.

Upon completion of the session, we will help you choose a wonderful set of images to present in our "For Your Eyes Only" album just for the groom.

Bridal Portrait

A Bridal Portrait, taken before your wedding day, is recommended for all brides.

This is an opportunity to be photographed in your formal bridal gown in a relaxed, private atmosphere. Close-up portraits, three-quarter length and full-length images are photographed in a variety of poses. You may choose a special location, or we can take the photos in the Creative Arts studio. The session typically takes between one and two hours, and may include the groom in some or all of the photos at no extra fee.

Images are ready for review immediately following the session. Selected images can be arranged in a beautiful personal bridal album or delivered as custom prints for framing.

These images make wonderful family heirlooms to pass along to your children and grandchildren. If you are planning to display your bridal images at the reception, you should schedule the Bridal Portrait at least six weeks before your wedding.
