Services Description

Consultation and photo session planning

Consultations are very important for both of us. It helps you to answer any questions you may have, be comfortable with us and how we photograph, and have your peace of mind that everything is being done to have a memorable special day.

To have a smooth photo session, we plan all our photo shoots ahead of time. If you have any special request, location, and props let us know so we can include in the photo session plan.

How long it takes a photo shoot session?

We like the photo session to be relaxed, fun and enjoyable. The length of time varies since a photo session can have a single location or several locations increasing the length of time and travel time. To take advantage of the beautiful location sceneries and background, usually one to two hour per location is adequate.

All print-ready images in "Full Resolution" with print rights

This is the highest quality image photographed by us and they are watermark free. It include all images presented to you with a download page with maximum megapixel quality used for large prints and canvas. Also include full rights for personal use of all images.

Custom editing will enhance you image in a creative way making it a unique art piece. These can be digital or artistically hand edited e.g. hand painting a Black & White image using real ink instead of digitally editing the image.
