Here's How To Have The Most Magical, Romantic, And Emotional Wedding Day Of Your Dreams!
If you're still reading, let me congratulate you. This means you want to be the most beautiful bride anywhere. Whether you are having your event at the Lake Arrowhead Resort, Pine Rose Cabins, San Moritz Lodge, Arrowhead Springs Hotel or any other venue in Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear or the Inland Empire, you want your wedding to be a wonderfully emotional and romantic day. You want to have everything go smoothly and perfectly. You want to have a great time. You want to see all your guests, and have them also have a fun time. Well, here's how to do it: Here's 6 Secrets To Having The Wedding Of Your Dreams!

SECRET #1: How To Guarantee Your Wedding Lives Up To Your Dreams.
Believe it or not, the photographer you select to photograph your wedding can make or break your wedding day. Yes, I kid you not, your wedding day - not just your photographs! Why? Because he or she's THERE - with you and your family, in person - interacting with all your family and guests - and representing you every minute.

Now, HONESTLY, we’re not just talking about photography here - we're talking about YOUR WEDDING - how YOU FEEL on your wedding day, and how smoothly and romantically everything goes. You see, your photographer determines this, by the way they help you plan your wedding, the way they treat you and your loved ones, and the way they conducts themselves throughout the day.

Critical Secret Revealed - What Other Wedding Photographers Don't Want You To Know!
So here's the secret: Meet the photographer - IN PERSON - before you hire anyone to photograph your wedding! Most brides don't realize that many studios hire part time photographers to photograph their weddings for them. This means that you go to a studio, talk with a salesperson, look at their samples, and make a decision - without really knowing who will be photographing your wedding!  And if it's not just the right person doing the photography, and interacting with all your family and guests, everything can be ruined!  That can go double if there are

Two Photographers, another issue to be aware of:  Having a second photographer sounds really great at first., as long as your definition of a "photographer is just "someone with a camera" The question is, does this second "shooter" have any professional training and experience or are they just a friend or spouse with a camera set on auto-everything taking snap shots like your guests are?  If so, they can certainly contribute to the quantity of pictures taken, but not necessarily the number of quality images you end up with.

So, when you're talking with a potential studio, ask them the following questions:
1. Who did these photographs you are showing me?
2. Who, by name, will be photographing our wedding if we hire your studio?
3. We want to MEET this person, BEFORE we hire your studio. 

4. If there is a second photographer, ask what their level of training, education and experience is.

Then, when you meet this person, ask him or her the following questions:
1. How will you dress at my wedding?
2. Did you do ALL the wedding photography we saw in the sample books? If not, show us YOUR work, please.
3. How long have you been photographing weddings?
4. Before you leave our wedding, do you check first to see if there's anything else we would like you to do?
Then, decide if you REALLY LIKE HIM or HER, as well as their work! Because he's going to be spending a lot of time with you and your family and friends, on your important day.

By the way, just so you know, here's our answers to those questions:
I will dress in a nice coat & mock neck sweater, NOT A TUX - I don't want to compete with your groom and groomsmen and the fathers, and I also don't want to dress casually, and not represent you professionally.  Victoria wears dress slacks and blouse and jacket.

Victoria and I will be photographing your wedding together if you  book a five hour or larger album package    Smaller events are normally handled by one of us.  Victoria is also a very artistic, accomplished photographer with 14 years wedding experience. I trust her implicitly to do every bit as good a job as I would in capturing your wedding and creating beautiful portraits of the two of you and your family. 

We bring a combined wedding experience of over 25 years to your event.  We'll be at your wedding until you and your husband (how exciting - your "husband!") have nothing else for us to do. We'll NEVER leave your wedding without checking with you first!

SECRET #2: Announcing The Single Most Important 'Secret' You MUST Know About Weddings!
Here's a really big "secret" that almost no brides think about when interviewing a potential photographer: What's their guarantee? What happens if you aren't happy with the photography, or the way you and your friends were treated, or if the photographer left your wedding before he was supposed to, etc.

This is of the utmost importance! The guarantee tells you just how committed they are going to be in taking good care of you, and doing a great job.

And, just so you know, here's our IRON CLAD, 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:
You will LOVE (not just be 'satisfied' with) how we represented you and your family at your wedding, and you will also LOVE your photographs, or we will do whatever necessary to have you LOVE them, or we will return ALL YOUR MONEY. Period. Just tell us when you first view your wedding images, either at the studio or on line, if you're disappointed in any way, and we'll make it right!  We want you to LOVE everything we do for you!

You see, we understand that you can't do this over again. This is a "one-time-thing" and everything MUST be perfect! You have our guarantee that we'll take really good care of you!

SECRET #3: An Important Warning: Miss This Secret, And A Disaster Could Happen At Your Wedding!

This seems so obvious, and yet brides miss this one all the time, and pay a BIG PRICE for it after their wedding! Be sure the photographer has lots of happy brides and grooms, who have written him and told him how happy they were with him and his work! We're talking TESTIMONIALS here! From real people, with their full names, and their city and state, so you can call them if you want to, just to "check them out" and make sure that they really said what the photographer says they did.

I'm sorry to be so skeptical, but we live in a time when you have to be really careful to be certain that people are telling you the truth.

You will notice that throughout this web page are photographs and testimonials from some of the brides and grooms whom we have been honored to work with on their wedding day. Also notice that their FULL names, city and state are listed, so, if you really wanted to, you could look them up in the phone book, and call them.

SECRET #4: A Magic Way To Have A Great Wedding.

One of the things that you really want to look for in your photographer, is someone who is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER! An artistic photographer whose images combine to tell the EMOTIONAL STORY of your family, your friends, and your wedding day. This is really important, if you are looking for photographs which will be PRICELESS to you for years and years to come!

And here's why this is so important! If an artist is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, there's a really good chance that they will be compassionate about not ruining the romance, beauty and emotions of your day. You see, only a true romantic can truly understand how important this day is to you, and how perfectly you want it to go.

And a true romantic will be sensitive to NOT INTERFERING WITH THE EMOTIONAL ROMANTIC FLOW OF YOUR DAY!

We could tell you so many horror stories here that we've heard over the years about rude, insensitive photographers who have ruined the loving, romantic atmosphere of the wedding. Or others who have acted like  egotistical directors of a movie set and everyone else were "extras" to be bossed around. (In my opinion, people with attitudes and personalities like that should not be in the wedding business at all!!)

But our purpose here is not to scare you with horror stories, but rather to help you be sensitive to the all important attitude and personality of photographers you talk to. Are they sincerely interested in helping you have a relaxed, smooth running day that you can really enjoy? Will they take the time to help you plan a nice flow of events so there’s plenty of time to photographically capture the day as it unfolds with all its rich emotion and splendor?

We consider this planning time an integral, critical part of my job with each couple. and is the key factor in having a relaxed, smooth running event. I love to catch the romance, fun and close relationships of your families. But I can’t do that if its not happening because of the stress and rush that results from a lack of planning. So you see,  we have a BIG incentive to help you in any way I can because it will help us to do a much better job of creating outstanding photographs for you!

SECRET #5: The Truth About Wedding Photographers Revealed. What They Don't Want Me To Tell You!
It is not my intention to say anything bad about any other photographers in the area. I know most of them personally, and count many of them as my friends. However, it is really important that I alert you, in this website to some of the problems that you otherwise would never know about.

Well, here's a "biggie."
Many photographers will cram as many weddings into a day as they humanly can. Often this means they must rush from your wedding, to get to another, and then rush from that one to even a third event.

This type of photographer just isn't going to be able to capture the EMOTIONS, ROMANCE, LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS between you and your husband and also between you and your family and friends. They just won't have the sensitivity and enthusiasm and love for what he does to be able to capture those feelings. And he won't have the time or energy.

By the way, we ONLY photograph ONE wedding per day.
You'll have us for as long as we determine you will need us We understand how important this day is to you, and you'll be our #1 priority for that day!

This also means that we're rested, energetic and enthusiastic about what we will be doing for you.  And since we only photograph one wedding a day, we're not tired or burned out on your important day.

A HUGE POINT FOR BRIDES-TO-BE:
The Magic Of "E.F.P." On Your Wedding Day!
You see, we don't really look at it as just "wedding photography," but rather as "Emotional Family Photography" created on your wedding day!" It's all the emotions, relationships and personalities of all your friends and relatives, captured in beautiful images for you and your family to cherish for the rest of your lives. After all, isn't that what you really want?

"E.F.P." is one of the major things that separate us from all the other wedding photographers in the area.  We want to capture the love, relationships, personalities, and emotions of all your family and friends for you to enjoy and view for many years to come!

Aren't The People and The Emotions Of Your Life What Matter The Most To You?

It's the PEOPLE and the EMOTIONS of your life that are so valuable to you. Yes, you'll also see the beautiful dresses, flowers, ceremony, etc. But more, much more than that. You'll feel the emotions that you and your fiancé feel toward each other and toward your best friends and family members on this magical day. Yes, FEEL them each time you view your photographs. That's what we are driven to do for you!

You see, you want photography that "speaks" to you with love, emotion, respect, and the glorious feelings you will experience on your wedding day. You want your photography to "tell the story" of your wedding day, AND your families and friends.

Don't Miss The "Emotional Moments" Of your day because your photographer didn't have the vision to see and capture them in a sensitive, romantic way!

Your day will be filled with beautiful "Emotional Moments" that you will never experience again in your life. Those "Moments" are what we are driven to capture for you.

Here are just a couple examples:

An Amazing And Wonderfully Emotional Way To Express Your Love For Your Dad On Your Wedding Day!

As a father myself, I can assure you that one of the most emotional moments in a dad's life is when he "gives his little girl away" at the beginning of your ceremony. Your dad will never forget it.

But now, there's something full of emotional magic that you can give your dad when he gives you away! At that very powerful moment in his and your life, you hand him a surprise "Father's Pride" that he carries with him back to his seat, and as he reads your personal message to him, and looks at the emotional photograph of you in your wedding gown, he begins to cry with tears of joy and love! He will be so moved and touched! You and he will never forget it!

Don't miss that moment! (Ask for details when we meet.)

The Magic Moment When The Love Of Your Life First Sees You!
Or the incredible moment when your fiancé first sees you in your wedding gown - perfect in every way - with your lovely flowers, the beautiful veil and headpiece - everything which you selected specifically for him - as the tears swell up in his eyes, and he tells you how very much he loves and adores you.

Don't miss that moment!

I could go on and on. Your entire day will be made up of brief, priceless moments like these. Let's make sure first of all that your day is so beautifully organized and planned that these moments truly can happen, and then let's help you to be so stress free, but excited, that you can enjoy and remember these wonderful, magical moments for the rest of your life.

How do we do that?
I'll bet you think I'm going to say that you do this through the photography. Right? Wrong! The way we help these moments happen, and help you remember them, is to help you have a wonderful, romantic and emotional day!

Which brings me to

SECRET #6: How To Be Assured That You Will Be The Most Beautiful Bride Your Friends Or Relatives Have Ever Seen!

You deserve to have a wedding day where you are the most beautiful bride any of your friends or relatives have ever seen. That's the dream of every girl when she begins visualizing her wedding day. And you deserve to have that!

Let's see to it that is exactly what happens! How? Simple. Yes, you will select the perfect dress, headpiece and flowers and have your hair and make up done. But it goes much deeper than that.

Beauty is also in the way you FEEL on your wedding day. The way your emotions show on your face, and the way you glow when you walk down the aisle and look in the eyes of the love of your life.

You see, if you, your husband and your family and guests are all having a wonderful time, you will be more beautiful than you have even dreamed you would be. Because there will be no tension there. And, by the way, your photographs will be WONDERFUL, too, because you looked so wonderful and were having such a great time.

The time we spend with you before the wedding planning your day is the critical key to all this. That’s how we make sure there is adequate time planned for the photography and everything else that will be happening. It’s something precious few other photographers are willing to invest the time to do. But we know how vitally important planning is to a wedding day and helping you be relaxed, beautiful and enjoying every moment of your day rather than feeling stressed out & up tight. Whatever emotion you are feeling, it will show in your photographs!

See how it all "fits together" to result in a wonderful day, and wonderful photographs? You really can't separate them!

Oh, if you ever talk with a photographer who says this to you, run away as fast as you can!

If he or she says, "Your photographs are all you will have after the wedding is over. Your flowers will be dead, your cake will be eaten, etc. - all you'll have are your photographs! They are the most important thing about your wedding!" - then they're NOT the photographers for you!

Why not? Because if he says that, he has a completely false impression of his importance, and will try to run your day and take charge! Don't let that happen! Because the photographs ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING - the romance, emotions and relationships are the most important things!  Your photos won't matter much if they only remind you of a rushed, stressed out day that was a huge disappointment to you.

In my humble opinion, the tender fabric of your life is sewn together with beautiful, emotional moments between you and your loved ones, and I want to capture and express all those wonderful moments for you in your wedding volumes - and accomplish this without interfering with the emotions and romance of your wedding day.

Wedding Prices:

If you feel a resonance with some or all of the above information and philosophy, the big question you are probably asking yourself right about now is, "This all sounds really good, but can I afford this these people?"

The short answer is "Yes!"  You're not likely to find another photographer who is more flexible and willing to work with you financially to help you have the wedding of your dreams than we are.

Each couple is unique with varying needs, preferences and priorities.  Rather than just offering a selections of preset boxes (packages), I believe in a custom approach to designing a package that is right for you, which is why it is important for us to get together.  Then I can learn the things that are important to you, determine the amount of time that will be needed and then make some recommendations.

Here are some basic pricing guidelines:  We have both wedding packages with albums included and Ala Carte plans, where you may simply purchase some or all of your images, without using our album design service.  However, once we have created a wonderful set of images, we can always create an album for you later when finances allow if you like.

For near term events less than three months away or weekday weddings:

Ala Carte options start at only $975 with three hours of photography.  More than three months in advance has a four hour minimum time requirement May- October.  Then, Ala Carte option would start at $1300 for four hours.

Wedding Packages with flush mount digitally mastered albums start at $1795 with four hours of photography. 

Tight budget? We also have a Gift Registry option available at no charge that allows your invited guests to give financial gifts toward your photography and album!  We provide you with everything you need to do this.  Ask for details when you call.

Here's What To Do Right Now!
Here's what I strongly recommend you do IMMEDIATELY! Pick up the phone and call me right now at
(909) 337-1468

Ask us if we still have your wedding date available. Here's the problem - because we are so well known and respected in the community, and we photograph only one wedding a day, it is very possible that we will already be booked for your day.  Many of the local venues we have worked with and are referred by so often like Pine Rose Cabins,  Lake Arrowhead Resort, San Moritz Lodge, Arrowhead Springs Hotel, etc, book up very early, so we do, too.

So DO NOT WAIT EVEN ONE DAY ON THIS! If you agreed with and liked anything in this letter, call us NOW. Let's see if your date is still available, and then, if and only if you would like to, we can set up a time to get together in person and talk about your wedding. That’s when we'll learn the things that are most important to you about your wedding, the style of photography you prefer, creative ideas you may have, and the many other details of your day that will help me suggest the best photography plan for you. I expect to take this time with you to be able to design a custom plan that will be just right for you. There is no charge or obligation for this, either. So call now, tomorrow could be one day too late!
