Pricing
Most wedding photographers these days (especially at the lower-priced end of the business) make their money largely from taking and processing the files. I follow an old-fashioned model that gives you the ability to determine how to use a good portion of your budget after the wedding, after you have a chance to review the photos. A basic fee of $750 covers my photographic services on the day of the wedding.* A typical post-event package of photos and a memory book will cost roughly another $300—but you can easily spend more, even a lot more, depending on your budget and what you order.
*August-September 2010 offer: An engagement OR bridal portrait session will be provided at no extra charge as part of your wedding coverage.
Please note that my charges are determined by services, not by the hour. Your costs may be higher or lower by a little (maybe more than a little), depending on what we arrange. Are you on a tight budget? Recently, it seems that almost everybody is. Please don't be afraid to ask. Every couple are special and every wedding is a little bit different, so I tailor plans to fit your needs exactly.
Prices above are for weddings in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. Destination weddings are priced separately but very reasonably.

Style
I like to describe my style as classic or traditional documentary photography. Am I trying to make beautiful photos? You bet. But I do this by trying to capture what was unique and special and real about your wedding. My goal is to give you images that will look fresh in ten, twenty, thirty years.
A note about church weddings with strict rules regarding photography
Many churches—including Roman Catholic churches, Holy Orthodox Christian churches and Orthodox Jewish synagogues—have strict rules regarding photography during the wedding ceremony. I completely respect the authority of pastors and rabbis to set the rules within their houses of worship. And although I am ready to photograph any sort of wedding, I have more experience covering Roman Catholic weddings than any other kind and I have a 100% priest-satisfaction index. Well, I would if there were such a thing. If you wonder why this might matter, ask the wedding coordinator or pastor at your church and be prepared for a sad story or two.

*
In any case, I wish you every happiness that a long, loving marriage can bring. I am a believer in marriage: My wife and I will celebrate anniversary #35 in December 2010.
