"Every bride deserves extraordinary images!"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

D'Wesley Portraits is primarily concerned with capturing the memorable moments and the joy of your special day.  Coverage is generally provided through  a blending  of traditional, contemporary, and journalistic styles.   David's personal style of photography emphasizes his  personable, friendly, and unobtrusive manner.  Ultimately, the goal is not to take an album full of pictures, but rather to tell a story......your story.  Your love story captured with artistry and honesty. David also takes great care to respect the solemnity and the religious customs of the wedding ceremony.   Professionally attired in tuxedo.  And, since all of the  packages allow the bride and groom to purchase  all the negatives/digital files , you are not under any pressure to purchase reprints or enlargements at studio prices.    

Engagement Portraits

An engagement portrait is typically included in the coverage costs and may be done at the in-house studio backdrop, a local park, or at some other location of your choice.  The engagement portrait may also be mounted to a larger sheet of poster board and used for guest signatures at the reception. Or, many couples are opting for a "Guest Book" which includes several portraits bound in a beautiful Art Leather album in place of the typical guest book. Consider a portrait at a special place.....maybe the site of your first date, or first kiss, or.....???.

Wedding Day

Coverage can include the "getting ready" shots at the bride's home, the ceremony & altar shots, outdoor shots at a nearby park, and complete coverage at the reception. A recent trend (especially on the East & West Coast) is to schedule "private time" for the bride & groom alone prior to the ceremony......navigate to the "Ask David" page for more information on this.

Color or Black & White?

Both!!! Today's digital technology allows for prints to be converted to black and white  or sepia-toned.  Actually the digital revolution has transformed wedding photography over the past three or four years and there has never been a more exciting time to  be a wedding photographer. Traditional color and B & W film is available upon request but digital coverage has become the industry's new standard.  Events are covered with professional digital SLR cameras and 35mm cameras. Images which are recorded on film are scanned to hi-resolution files for editing and post-production processes.  Back-up equipment such as cameras, lenses, &  strobes are always available. Medium Format coverage is also available.
