Whats up with all the Engagements??




Wow, I cant believe how many phone messages and emails we've gotten since the 27th about weddings? Did everyone propose this Christmas or what? I guess I'm weird, I don't think of Christmas as a time to propose, but I guess people are home from college and every one is warm and fuzzy feelings. (or guys give engagement rings as Christmas presents? Anyway, I admit, my original web site is out of date.
I am mailing out our price lists to the brides, and the old site will be updated sometime in January, but I will go ahead and post our 2008 price list for you here.

This will be my 12th year photographing weddings in Wichita Falls and my 23rd year in general shooting weddings. Ive shot weddings all over, most of them in Texas, but also in Arizona, Florida, Japan and I even shot one in Belgium! (they have odd customs there, ask me sometime about it.)

Here it is. We've deleted a package that wasn't very popular and made a few changes on our mileage fees etc.

Thank you and Congrats to every one! Oh, I wont be at the Bridal Fair, Ive been there and done that for many years and I haven't attended in about 5 years now i think.

Most of my couples come from former clients and word of mouth.
We are off to go skiing! Have a wonderful New Year!

Available Wedding Dates are very limited for 2007 and 2008.








(NOTE: For sisters of our former Brides and long time clients in good standing, we offer a specially priced more intimate smaller wedding package which is under $1,000. but these are very limited to 3 per year. Call for details.)
