The Art of It
My favorite thing to photograph is the bride and groom
locking eyes for the first time at the ceremony. That
electrifying moment is full with passion, adoration
and effortless beauty, which inspires me as an artist.
The subject in that sublime moment is the magnetic energy
between them.
Each couple has their own particular magic. It is my
great pleasure to recognize that palpable essence and
depict in images what words can only approach. My goal
is to reveal the exquisiteness of bringing love from
a private experience to a public declaration. I am grateful
for every opportunity to document the most romantic
day in a love story.

Shooting Style: Photojournalistic
& Traditional
Allan's shooting style during the ceremony and reception
is unobtrusive and photojournalistic, so he captures
the magic and pure joy of the day as it naturally unfolds
— without his intervention or interference. To
efficiently guide the wedding party and family through
the portraiture session, Allan switches gears and directs
the action to capture the posed shots. During planning
discussions with Allan, he learns your unique style
and focuses on the portraits that are important to you
and your family.

Proofing: 4x6 prints of
all frames shot
The proofs you receive are yours to keep. They are 4x6
prints, printed on real photographic paper and are not
stamped "Proof" File numbers are located on
back of the print and would be how you identify to Allan
the frame you are selecting for enlargement or album.
Full Resolution Digital
Files: Digital Negatives are available
Full resolution digital files on DVD are available for
purchase (if not included in the package you select)
for an additional cost. Allan shoots RAW files because
it is the finest quality digital format in which to
shoot. Specialized software and knowledge is required
to manipulate these RAW files. Allan is prepared to
furnish RAW files, however most clients should receive
files in the TIFF or JPEG format.
Reprints or Extra Enlargements:
Priced affordably
The standard package was designed to give the couple
many enlargements to have and distribute to family and
friends. Extra prints are priced very affordably to
ensure that every couple has the prints they want. Allan
takes pride in his photo enhancement and print-making,
producing the finest quality portrait and display art.
Creating different looks:
Color, Black & White or Sepia
Since all pictures are shot digitally, color is easily
converted to Black & White or Sepia. Some shots
look especially good in Black & White because it
isolates and emphasizes the expressions of the subjects.
After reviewing your proofs, you might find a picture
you would like converted to Black & White for your
album or enlargements. All enlargements and album prints
are custom printed, there is no extra charge for retouching,
converting to Black & White or Sepia or other special
effects.

Packages: Built around the
couple & family's needs
Alan's pricing philosophy tailors to the particular
needs of each individual couple. The starting package
was designed to give couples the basics of what they
will want that day; it too can be customized. Allan
offers many different album manufacturers and choices
to suit budget and preferences. Pricing
