"That's the shot!"
12/17/2008
Describe your favorite picture.
There are a few examples, but if I must narrow it down...we had a champagne-glass pyramid. Rod got a shot that focused on the two of us during our first dance with the pyramid glowing in the background. It gets a "wow" out of everyone!
How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
Rod was balanced between giving instruction and staying in the background. During posed shots, Rod was positive and energetic all day.
What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
We ordered prints and our family ordered prints. There were a few packages available and the price included the engagement session.
How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
Very. He worked quickly so we could go have fun!

Describe your favorite picture.
my favorite picture is of my husband and I as we are walking back down the aisle of the church at the end of the wedding. The pic is amazing and you can see the pure joy and excitment on both of our faces!
How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
I'm not really sure... but he did! We were very impressed with Rod. I have been to other weddings when the photographer was in the way all day, but we didn't have issues with it!
What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
We got to keep all the proofs with an album which was great. We ordered one of the pre-set packages. There were lots of options for packages, including engagement picture session with all the proofs.
How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
Rod is a fun guy and has an easy going personality. Everyone loved working with him and a few people asked for his card at the end of the night.

Our Life Photographer
10/12/2008
Describe your favorite picture.
I have two. The first one is where we are both under my vail and the sun is shining in lighting up the sparkles on my dress. Number two is "the kiss". Rod made this picture amaizing! there was someones head in the way and my made of honor in the origonal photo, but Rod got them out and somehow made this picture full of emotion.
How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
He was not in the way at all, i accualy don't remember him being there except at the beging when we were doing the family thing. He was great with both! My album has half action/candid and half posed.
What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
The engagement was included. We paided a little bit extra for an absolutly gorgious album that i look at all the time (we will be celebrating our 4th anniversery). There was a bunch of different sized photos included which fill half the album and gave me enough for all the wedding party and family.
How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
Rod is very confident in what he is doing, he has a plan and he knows how to execute his plan. He tells you what to do and how to do it, he is open to suggestions, but also has great ideas. I did not realy want to see my husband before the alter, but i am glad we saw eachother first, which was all Rod's idea. The time worked out better and Rod new how to make it majical and it helped keep our emotions from exploding at the alter. Rod aslo has a great sence of humor and is very easy to be around. We have had th privalage to see him 3 4 times a year with our children and he is just as amaizing and getting bertter and more ideas every second.

Surpassed Expectations, would definitely recommend
10/08/2008
Describe your favorite picture.
My husband is dipping me in front of a fountain, but its the way that the sunlight illuminates our two bodies, perfectly positioned, through the clouds and fountain, and sparkles off the back of my dress. Simply breathtaking. And, Ill also say that we had many great photos, really perfect ones, and I've seen many wedding albums where not one picture stood out as perfect - I was very satisfied with the results.
How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
Yes, we have very nice candids, but he was quite good about suggesting (and being open to my suggestions) for fun poses, semi-candid poses, and a little education on how to make sure we looked great throughout the day. very unobtrusive during the ceremony.
What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
we ordered a few prints and a photo album, and family ordered some as well. There was an engagement session, which I think was part of the package price, but the package did not include the photo album in its totality which did surprise me.
How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
Great, he is very relaxed and easygoing, and that attitude carried over into the taking of the pictures, and the pictures themselves. I often say that the pictures were one of my favorite parts of that day, it was fun and I felt beautiful. (and looked beautiful in the pictuers, as well).

Describe your favorite picture.
My favorite picture was the wedding party toasting the couple. The setting was very comfortable and people were laughing and conversing.
How did the photographer get pictures without being disruptive? Was the photographer equally good with posed photos and action shots?
The candid shots were spectacular! Posing always creates some challenges, however Rod was paitient but persistant!
What did you order in the way of prints, photo albums, etc.? What packages did the photographer or studio offer? Was there an engagement session included in the price?
We ordered more than we had planned. There were so many good poses and captured memories.
How did the photographer help make you and your family comfortable with posing for pictures?
A few jokes, lots of complements, a good sense of the time line, planning the order of the shots.
