WV Wedding Photographer

Once the ceremony, the dancing and the celebrating are done...

...the cake has been eaten, toasts made and the grand exit is over...


Your wedding photos are what you have left

to bring your day back to you, to let you live through the joy of it over and over again.

I know you have a long list of vendors and artisans to find, purchases to make, and tasks to manage for your wedding. My first step toward making your wedding preparations flow smoothly is to make my wedding pricing transparent, straight-forward, and easy to understand.

The following benefits are all part of the package when you book with me:
