•there is no limit to the number of guests you can bring to your event, however, our experience tells us that groups larger than 40 should consider larger photography packages
In the event that site fees become imposed on locations that are free to use at the time of your reservation, we will do everything in our power to ask the owner/operator of the locations to honor your reservations at the free rate, or perhaps a discounted rate. If we are ultimately required to pay a fee at a currently free location, we will notify you immediately, and discuss alternate locations, as well as inform you of the new fee, should you decide to stay with your preferred location. This has not been a problem in eighteen years, but with today's economy, municipalities are constantly looking for new ways to create income.

we keep our prices low, by keeping our overhead to a minimum.
our prices average 40% off from 2005 pricing
because our office staff has been greatly reduced
as most work and transactions are now internet based.
on busy weekends, and during peak wedding season,
it could take a day or two to get back to you,
especially if your request is for more than two months away.
we promise to get back to you asap.
