I believe that this is your wedding DAY. It's not just a ceremony or party. It's an event of a lifetime.
So... pricing your once in a lifetime event by the hour or block of time just seems wrong to me.
I believe that even some of the smallest events of the day make great memories. The little hugs... Decorations... Candles and so much more....
So.... limiting the number of pictures seems foolish.
I believe that those "small memories" may not need 8x10 prints, but they are important. The documentation of this day matters.
So.... giving you a CD with all the images becomes huge. Not forcing you to become "sales reps" for me to get money from your friends and family makes me happy to be your photographer.
I believe in my talent and equipment. I know that I can get the best print quality from start to finish because we went first class from camera to printer.
So.... My wife and I needed 8x10 prints of us for my mom, my dad, her parents and our living grandparents. We want that print for your immediate family to be its best for them.
