I have been successfully photographing wedding, portraits and landscapes for the past twenty one years, and I am always implementing new techniques to improve my imagery. While I continue to perfect my exposures and composition in order to get my in-camera images to be of the highest quality, I realize that graphic retouching/design is an essential and exciting aspect of my craft.
With the right team, anything is possible. Our in-house graphic designer, has been using the knowledge he has gained in web and multimedia design at one of the top schools of studio art. With tools such as Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, Rich has given our portraiture a more modern visage. Rich will daily offer new actions to our images that create anything from a soft glow to a vintage green scene. Please take notice to our frequently updated website and blog.
Here is just one example of Rich’s work:
My wife Debbie has also been using many wonderful techniques in graphic retouching/design. She digitally paints our imagery , then when mounted on canvas, it simulates an original painting. Debbie is a talented artist who has experience with oil,pastel,and watercolor. She uses her experience with color and lighting to create what we refer to as our masterpiece prints. Debbie is the artist behind so many of the images in our gallery and on our website.
Here is her most recent masterpiece:
We offer our clients canvas gallery wraps, which are a stunning way to display large wedding portraits.
We also provide new Press Printed Books. These hardcover books are personalized with photographs and text on the cover, spine, and back. We have recently created a multitude of textures and backgrounds ( sand,stone,metal, etc) to use with any image. Our clients can choose the size, the cover material, the paper, and of course, the images that will go on each beautifully printed page.
Last, but certainly not least, we are now offering our clients a wide range of styles of new thank you cards, with various papers, finishes and textures to choose from such as linen, watercolor, pearl, metallic, pebble and lustre. We have added tri-folds and accordion-fold cards to our collection.
