A wedding is one of the most important events of a person's life. It signifies a lifelong commitment to the one person you've chosen to spend the rest of your life with. We were married pretty recently, so we understand the joys and pressures of such a day. We now offer our services to help you capture and remember the day you say, "I do."
Our motto is simple: we want what you want. If you want lots of set family pictures: fine. If you want lots of candid pics at the reception: great. This should be your day, and the pictures that you use to remember and share it should be as unique as your marriage.
To this end, we meet at least once with each couple before the wedding to get an idea of what they want. We prefer to be able to get into the ceremony and reception areas before guests arrive to gauge light levels and find the best angles. We try to leave as little to chance as possible, though when the flower girl starts unexpectedly dancing down the aisle, we'll do all we can go get that as well.
In following with our idea of simplification and personalization, we offer a fairly simple rate system: choose how long you want us to be there and what pictures you want.
All include Britney and an assistant for the time given. Number of proofs is dependent on time frame and your preferences.

When you make a reservation, there will be a 50% deposit on the package. The other 50% will be due on the day of the wedding.
After you have reserved a date, the sitting fee for engagement pictures is $50 and there is no minimum print order. The cost for original digital images will vary depending on the shoot.
All locations more than 20 miles from Nixa will incur a mileage charge. See the FAQ for details.
Instead of having you pick from pre-defined packages, we tell you the minimum amount you need to spend for each session package and let you pick it out of the available prints. Many customers are looking for specific print sizes and we don't want you to be forced into buying a package that has sizes you don't want.
Click here for the print price list. Discounts are built into buying more than one copy for some sizes, but realistically, if you buy lots of pictures, we can talk about discounted pricing.
All croppings and black and white/sepia/overall tone adjustments are always free. Small touch-ups are free for 30 days after initial delivery. After that, there will be a small charge.
The proofs are usually done in about two weeks. We will then upload them to our developer's website and send you a link to give to friends and family so they can order prints themselves. You can also choose to get a large order together and give it to us all at once to save on shipping costs. You can also choose to order the license for your digital proofs.
Instead of buying prints, you can choose to purchase the license for your proofs. This option means you'll get high quality digital images which you can use to order as many prints as you want from the local Wal-Mart, Walgreens, or any other developer who accepts digital images. This allows for maximum flexibility while still assuring high quality, professional digital images. If you still want some prints developed by us, you may order them with no minimums after you have chosen to buy the license for all your proofs.
Here are the prices:- $350 (plus tax) for all proofs from a Classic wedding
- $550 (plus tax) for all proofs from a Gala wedding
If you choose to buy the license for your proofs, please tell us either during the shoot or as soon as possible afterward to get your images sooner. We will burn you a disc of all the proofs and either ship it or meet to give it to you. Additionally, we will upload them to our developer's online gallery system in case you or your friends and family want to order professionally-developed prints. For 30 days, you can send us an email describing any changes you want, and we'll email the resulting files to you and upload the new images to the same online gallery. After 30 days, there will be a small charge for touch-ups.
These prices might seem high, but remember: you will be able to develop, copy, and email these pictures as many times as you want as long as it's for personal use. Since basically every developer now accepts digital files, you have lots of flexibility.
If you only want to buy the license for a few proofs, they will be $25 apiece and do count toward your minimum purchase.
See the FAQ for a more in-depth explanation of picture options for weddings.
We're fairly new to the whole advertising/website thing, so we always appreciate feedback. The feedback from people who end up not choosing us could be the most valuable. If you decide to go with another option, please drop us a line and let us know what we could improve. Don't like the site layout? Not enough pictures in the gallery? Prices not where you were expecting? Site too wordy? Please let us know so we can improve our business.
Thank you.
Your photographer in Springfield and Southwest Missouri
