Question : We love your work, but we have appointments with another photographer. Can you hold our date while we decide?

I can contact you if someone else inquires about the date, however, keep in mind that I am occasionally contacted by couples who are familiar with my work and want to book their date immediately. Question : I would like to have a 'Green' wedding, are you a 'Green' photographer? Answer : Yes, I am a 'Green' Wedding Photographer and care about our natural environment. By using online proofing of images and photobook designs we prevent lots of unnecessary waste. Recycling electronic waste is also very important to me.
