Weddings
Weddings, like similar once-in-a-lifetime situations, require an intuitive sensitivity for the situation, and outstanding photographic technical competency. There are no second chances. Brides and Grooms entrust the professional wedding photographer with this, the most precious time of their lives, and in so doing create a strong partnership, if only for a fleeting moment.
It never ceases to amaze me that in the search for a professional wedding photographer, very often decisions are made on the basis of price. If there is one thing I can advise you on, price should be the least determining factor. What you should be looking for in a professional wedding photographer is the ability to capture this one moment for ever, in a way that you will enjoy viewing those images for the rest of your life. For no matter how small or large your wedding might be, 
you will remember absolutely nothing of your wedding, it will be a haze in your memory and the only reminder of your wedding will be the beautiful images captured by your invaluable professional wedding photographer. You will treasure these wedding photos for years. You will use these images to recall those moments that you cannot remember. You will look at these wedding photos with your grandchildren and you will reminisce about that wonderful day in your life. ~ Michelle

Trash the Dress
What is a Trash the Dress session? It's just that...a chance for you to do something fun, fantastic, and creative with your gorgeous wedding dress. Just think--you wear it for one day of your ENTIRE life. Why not get some more use out of it?! How, you say? By slipping into that fabulous dress of yours, putting on your pretty face, and letting us capture some crazy creative photos! This is a session where we take you and your dress (and your hubby too, if he's game!) and go to places you normally wouldn't go on your wedding day. Perhaps a wheat field in the late afternoon golden light. Or on a playground while he's pushing you on the swing. Or up on that horse of yours, your dress' train draping down its soft coat while you ride across the grass...in the sunset. Get the picture? Gulp, GORGEOUS!
It's a chance for us to dedicate time with just you (or the two of you), and artistically create some out-of-this-world photos. These photos truly express the natural beauty of the bride in her dress (and the groom in his tux/suit). Some people hear
"Trash the Dress" and think it means destroying your dress. No. We rather want to embrace your dress. Create photos that showcase how beautiful you are in that dress. Photos to last a lifetime. Showcasing you in trashing the dress!
Sessions include:
$225
2-3 locations of your choice, or we can brainstorm together some location ideas
1-2 hours of creative shooting - we will work with you to create natural-looking, beautiful poses
