If you are are planning your wedding, we know you have a daunting task, two major decisions are choosing the right wedding photographer & videographer. As in any profession, there are some fabulous wedding photographers & videographers, and some that are not so great. Years in the business does not necessarily mean quality work. See what couples have said about Joan and Paul's wedding photography & videography work. The memories of your photography & video will live with you longer than the memories of the meal you serve. "We believe it is essential to meet and plan with your photographer & videographer for your wedding day." Are the persons you are considering professional photographer(s) & videographer(s), or do they shoot on the weekends a couple times a year? Is the photographer & videographer the same person's work you see in the studio, the same people who will be photographing and videographing your wedding? You need to know who is going to show up and spend one of the most important days of your life with you and your families. On the other hand, a photographer & videographer may create beautiful images & video, but if personalities and styles don’t click ....... we believe this is one of the most important ingredients in making your decision as well.

Meeting with you for your engagement portrait session allows us a great opportunity to continue to get to know you better and capture you. Our initial planning meeting is only the beginning of our continued efforts to stay in close touch with you, ensuring we know all your wedding details and wishes. You, your families and friends should be able to relax when your wedding day arrives.
