    Q.
    What are the prices for a wedding?
    A.
    As Please refer to our pricing page for details.
       
    Q.
    How many photographs are taken on a wedding day?
    A.
    As many as you would like. There is no limit. On an average wedding day, with the ceremony starting in the early afternoon about 1:00 or 2:00, and pre-ceremony photography starting about three hours earlier, a bride and groom could expect at least 250 images to choose from.
     
    Q.
    Is it possible to have black and white photographs on our wedding day?
    A.
    Yes! As requested, we are happy to photograph some black and white photographs. Another option which is more popular is taking a color negative and having it processed to look black and white (this is accomplished by having the printer use panular paper). The reason this avenue is popular is because the client will have the choice of color or black and white. Once an image is captured with black and white film, it can never be in color.

    The purest will argue that black and white film is the only way to get the best quality black and white photographs. This is true although most people cannot tell the difference between the pure black and white photograph compared to the black and white(panular image) made from a color negative. Many photo processors do a terrible job of printing a color negative to look black and white although the better photo processors do a superior job. Photographers that are higher priced and more concerned about quality will use the best photo labs in United States while photographers that have the lowest prices and inferior skills will use others.
     
    Q.
    Is it possible to have black and white photographs of us from our engagement session or wedding with part or all of the image hand-colored?
    A.
    Yes! Black and white photographs with hand-coloring is very popular. Kim Anderson has really made this type of photography popular again. Black and white photographs are already expensive and with the addition of an artist hand-coloring part or all of the image adds to the cost even more. The cost is about two or three times more than that of a normal color image.
