THE ACCOLADES
I knew they were going to be great but these are beyond amazing, you really have a talent! I can’t wait to show them to Ethan. We will be in Susanville after Christmas, if it works for everyone we should get the Rhodies together * * * * * * * * * *
Hi Kim James,
Zac and I have looked thru all our wedding images last night, they were incredible, money well spent!
Thank you so much for your talent and for your hard work.
We have also checked your blog out – we loved the one you have chosen for your banner(?).
And other images of mine – I must say that I am shy to see myself out there like that but if you think they are the good reference materials of your works of art, i would like to help you that way.
I hope you are doing well and your family as well – I am doing good.
Wish you a warm and happy holiday,
Song

Hi,
It’s Ali and Paul’s friend Sharon. You captured both weddings
beautifully and you and your team were great – relaxed, unobtrusive and so warm.
It was fun spending both weekends with you 
. Thanks! If I hear of others
needing a photographer, I’ll be sure to recommend you with great
enthusiasm.
All the best til our paths cross again,
~Sharon

Hi!!!
I miss you already! We couldn’t have been more lucky to have you as our photographer — and now friend. It was a pleasure working with you and you truly made things as easy as they could be. You will probably notice that the number of hits to your blog has probably sky-rocketed a bit over the last 24 hrs…
We absolutely love the pics that you have posted and cannot wait to see the rest. We even said to each other last night that if these were the only pics that we got, we’d be totally happy. The dozen or so capture so much!
Thank you again!! Alison

Hi Kim, I was just looking at some of our photos with Molly. I can not remember if I ever told you how awesome I think your work is. The images are super cool and just a little different than any other wedding images I have viewed. Great job. I am stoked to have these wonderful moments of my life frozen in time. I honestly would love to do it again. John. www.gambonispeninsulagrill.com ps So thats times 10. I don’t articulate so well!!!!!

I just got the framed picture you gave to us this weekend. It was passed around a bunch and Elenas Mom had it and finally gave it to us this weekend. I really appreciate it! You did the best job ever on our pictures, we get so many compliments on them. I am going to spread the word to anyone I know that needs pictures to get in touch. Hoping Hope you are well and thanks again, you are very generous. Jim McAlpine www.snowbomb.com

Hi Kim,
I received the DVD’s and I have loaded them on my computer. I haven’t gone through them slowly yet, but from what I have seen, everything is perfect! Thank you so much. You have made our special day so memorable, and I can’t wait to have framed photos, and an album… I think my mom is going to have one of the photos of the cabin printed really big for a frame too, we are all so excited! I can’t wait to show Bobby, he left for his gold-mining trip last Wednesday, and will be back a week from today… It’s driving me crazy that he hasn’t seen them yet. He is going to be so happy!
Sincerely,
Whitney Smith

THE APPROACH
I approach each wedding as a sacred passage. I am honored to be included. I understand the depth of emotion these promises evoke in the participants and I take my job documenting, one of the most important days your life, seriously.
I am storyteller through voice, image and word. I am skilled as a photographer to bring that aspect of my art to your wedding story. My experience in the editing room has made me strong in creating a memorable storyline. I spent years building books (portfolios) to tell clients personal stories about the models they were interviewing and booking. I focused on emotional range through photography.
I design the wedding coverage to include the special moments, starting early in the day with the bride and groom. My style is a fusion of fashion, fine art and wedding photojournalism (covering tht moments as they unfold). First I seek out emotion then light and I integrate the six elements of design.

THE AMOUNT
WHY DOES CUSTOM PHOTOGRAPHY COST MORE?
A few things I want to share with you about my price package. My pricing is all up front. There are no hidden fees or must purchase product before you can have your digital files. My bottom line INCLUDES your copyright permission and your digital image files. Because of the ever changing photo industry, studios are all pricing differently and this can be very confusing. With most, the bottom line is sometimes hard to nail down. My bottom line is clear and my rates are very competitive for the type of work I do.
I shoot everything in RAW and once I have shot your job it comes back to the studio to be developed and processed. It can take me 15 to 30 hours to process a wedding.
BECAUSE NO WEDDING IS THE SAME, ALL PACKAGES ARE DESIGNED PER CLIENT. PLEASE CALL THE STUDIO OR PASS ON YOUR NUMBER AND THE BEST TIME TO REACH YOU AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO CALL YOU BACK AND MAIL YOU OUT THE PRICE MENU, MINI-BOOK AND BROCHURE. I LOOK FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH YOU. 530.258.3220.
