What type of equipment do you use?
I photograph using several high-end SLR digital cameras, a medium format camera, and a film camera for black and white (if requested). I have an array of lenses and lighting equipment to cover any type of situation we may encounter on your wedding day. I love to photograph fine art infrared work with my bronica medium format camera. I also have backup equipment in addition to provide extra assurance of completely covering your wedding day!
Do you offer packages?
I do offer packages that are based upon hours of coverage desired and include some of the most requested products such as negatives/digital files, proofbook, engagement session, etc.
I also offer custom packages that you create to fit all your desires for your wedding day. I highly encourage you to be open with your budget. Quite often I am able to work within your budget, offering a variety of products that are exceptional.
What type of albums do you offer?
All albums are offered as an a la carte item so you can decide when you are ready, which album fits best with your personal style.
There are so many different styles of albums offered out there! And there are different personal styles of each of my couples. I offer 3 different styles of Wedding Presentation albums: Magazine style (contemporary and modern), traditional/classic (matted and mounted albums), and a art border album (a bit classical with an artistic edge).
I also offer a variety of parent albums, bridal party gifts, purse size mini albums, and a new line of custom greeting cards!
How do we book you?
Reserving my services for your wedding day is easy. First, I highly recommend you (the couple) and myself meeting so I can show you much more of my portfolio. We will discuss your wedding day in detail and I can help you decide exactly how many hours would be best for you. most often 7-8 hours is perfect for a full day coverage.
To retain my services, all I ask is a retainer fee of $500.00 which will go toward the package price and signing of an agreement of services.
What does your photography rate/fee include?
All packages include my professional services on the wedding day for the time agreed upon, a complimentary engagement session, personal website of your engagement session, and a product credit toward an album or a variety of other products. I also include several appointments for album design, site visits, coffee meetings, etc! All album purchases include a wedding highlights preview book for you to keep!
Do you offer engagement sessions?
Absolutely! Engagement sessions are complimentary with my 5+ hour coverages, in fact. I find it is very important for you as the couple and myself to spend some time together getting to know each other personally. We will spend about an hour in a favorite location of your choice having fun, playing in the sand, enjoying lots of cuddle time for yourselves, and being as free and open as you’d like! Engagement session are a perfect time for me to try out some fun things, get to know how you both interact with each other and for you to see how easy it is to work with me! Most of my clients find the session to be more fun than work!
Can we get the negatives?
But of course, this is YOUR wedding! No matter what the coverage, the wedding negatives are available to you. Some packages may include the negatives/digital files!
Can I visit your Studio?
I would love that! I highly recommend we meet. There is no obligation, let’s just spend some time talking about your wedding day and I can show you a lot more of my work. I prefer to meet in my home studio. I have slideshow presentations, lots of heavy albums, and large wall portraits to show you. However, if you have any special needs, please don’t hesitate to ask! I am pretty flexible with your needs.

How do you work at a wedding?
The day of your wedding is as special to me as it is to you! I look forward to covering your event and eagerly await the special day!
The best way to describe how i work at a wedding comes from my previous clients:
“Angela was so wonderful to work with! She really gave a lot of her time and expertise into helping make our photos and our day turn out great. She was comfortable to work with and she really listened to what we wanted and helped to make these ideas work. She also offered some great suggestions and ideas in areas where we needed some guidenace. We just received our album, and with Angela's help really truly have the story of our day. We would definitely recommend Angela to anyone looking for one of the best.” Renee & David
“Angela is great! Once all our photo's were done, she blended in with the guests so well, we didn't even see her taking pictures for the rest of the wedding. Her pictures are fantastic, and she's really personalble and easy to work with.” Tiffany & Michael
“Angela was very down to earth and willing to worked with us happily and effortlessly at the wedding. There was a photo she forgot to take and she made sure to work it into our after wedding photo session so that we had lasting memories. I think it is hard to find a good photographer that you are comfortable with but Angela felt like family.” RaLinda & Vince
What is your Style?
I classify myself as a photojournalistic photographer who mixes a bit of traditional photography into each wedding. The traditional photography mainly is for your family portraits. I keep it casual, free, and spontaneous for portraits of the two of you as well as the rest of the day!
I keep myself always open to trying some new work – only if you both are open as well. Some new work consists of cross-processing, fashion, unique lighting, etc.
Angela recently introduced a new line of Fine Art Watercolor Portraits. These portraits are created using a specialized watercolor painting effect crafted by hand. The soft and romantic watercolor portraits feature a soft watery edge and ethereal textures from any photograph you choose. For the portrait above, Angela created this stunning watercolor portrait for the couple's opening page of their heirloom wedding album.
