the Joy of photography ..... dare to be different

NEW 2010 WEDDING PACKAGES
Are you planning a destination wedding or know someone who is?
If so, hire "the Joy of photography" to join you!
I'll photograph your destination wedding as well as your reception

if you choose to have one.

If you are interested in booking with "the Joy of photography"

please check the "calendar" to see if your date is

available or call the studio.  In order to book Joy as your

photographer you will need to fill out a contract and put

down a down payment; which is half the amount of the package

that you choose (including tax).  You must put down

 the full half down in order to hold your date.  Without the full

amount your date can not be held.  Please keep in

that your down payment to hold your date is NON-REFUNDABLE. 

It is a first come first serve bases.  The reason

for the downpayment is to assure the client that their wedding

date will be held for them.   

Wedding proofs take approximately 6-8 weeks to receive after

your wedding.  I take pride in my work which is why

I take time to edit through each and every wedding.  Each wedding

will receive approximately 400-800 proofs for their

wedding, depending on which package they choose.  I individually go

through each image from each wedding before

they are put online as well as put in your bound proof book. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact

the studio.

Please keep in mind that your images all include basic retouching.

Included in basic retouching is:

Color correction
Cropping
B&W or Sepia tone
Stray hair removal

Here are the charges for any additional retouching that is requested:
Acne removal - $10
Air brushing - $10
Recoloring - $10
Head swaps - $20
Braces removal - $50 

PLEASE NOTE:

I photograph each client as they appear.  If you would like to alter the way 
that you or anyone else in the photograph 

looks, there will be charges applied.  Some examples would be removing tan 
marks, changing your smile, making you tan, 

making someone skinner or taller than they are, putting someone in a photo 
that isn't already in the image.  All of these 

things can be done but there will be a charge for the services.  Technology 
is a wonderful thing and so many things are 

possible, however all of it takes time, so please keep that in mind before 
the wedding.  If you would like to appear tan in 

your photos, please go tanning ahead of time. 

These charges apply per image (pose.)

The retouching charges DO NOT apply to the bridal albums or parent books

(With the exception of anything that has a charge over $10)

All Bridal packages include 2 photographers, myself as well as my assistant photographer,

Brad.  Brad does all of the formal photographs while I focus on all of the candid photos. 

We both photograph the ceremony and the reception.  I do all of the photographs of the

bride and groom together.  Having two photographers is a must!  This way the formal photos

go so smooth, and you get an abundance of photographs.  While Brad does the formal photos

of the gentleman, I take the ladies and do fun photos, then we switch!  This way the bridal

party isn't sitting around waiting for it to be their turn to be photographed.  Having two

photographs helps to capture all the candid moments that may be missed when you only have

one photographer.

* "Mess the dress" is a private session for the bride after her wedding day. 

The session may be done with the bride by herself, with her husband, with her

bridal party, however she would like!  It's a two hour session that can be done

anywhere around town.  It's an opportunity to have beautiful images captured

in her wedding dress.  Yes, you will have beautiful images taken the day of your

wedding, but the places that you can go for photographs the day of your wedding

is limited because of the time crunch.  This way you will have two whole hours to

just relax and have some fun in your dress! Go splash around in some water, go

horse back riding, whatever you want to do! * 

The session is $350 and comes with a bound book filled with your favorite images

from the photo shoot.

If none of these packages are what you're looking for, customize your own package!

*Promotional wallets: You choose your favorite image from your engagement session,

the image is then printed as a wallet size image.  On the image will be guidelines and

your event code so that your guests can view the images from your wedding online. 

It will save you a ton of time!  This way you don't have to call/email everyone to tell

them how to see your images from you wedding.  Planning a wedding is enough work;

when it's over, you'll just want to relax!

Just remember that the promotional wallets CAN NOT be substituted.  Also, it is

the responsibility of the couple to order their promotional wallets

When you book me as your wedding photographer, you're not just getting a photographer,

you're getting a friend.  I go above and beyond to make sure that your wedding day is as

relaxed and as fun as possible.

As an extra perk to having me as your wedding photographer I have a "Spoil my brides"

event every winter for my brides.  It's my way of thanking my brides for their business. 

It also gives me an opportunity to get to know my brides better.  I feel if I know my brides
