After more than 25 years of photographing weddings the one predominant change is today's woman shopping for wedding photography. Seldom does she come with her parents, sometimes not even the groom, is a bit older, has a flair for fashion, and is more mature and sophisticated. She generally knows what she wants but above all – she is in charge!

FIRST, you've come to Tyme Photography for a reason. I sincerely thank you for that. Through the years I've learned what works well as it relates to Wedding Photography. I guarantee you will leave here with a full bouquet of specifics of how to plan your photography needs.

SECOND, photographers who are adept at photographing weddings know that today's demanding brides want it all. They (and lets not forget the groom) want to reminisce their most memorable day of their lives remembering the passion, romance, and emotions – the heart of every wedding.

THIRD, the photographer's responsibility is to document the day for the couple and their families. Next to your husband, your photographer will be the second most important person at your side on your wedding day. Shop wisely to ensure your photographer has your interest at heart, photographs in the style you want and delivers images you’ll love.

FOURTH, you'll love the free information found in F.A.Q. Here you'll discover questions you might ask and things you should know to achieve peace of mind in choosing a photographer that you'd love to spend your entire wedding day with (next to hubby).

FIFTH, once the mystery is solved in knowing how to approach your photo shopping adventure then relax, have fun and enjoy the remaining stages of planning the most memorable day of your life... your very own wedding day!

FINALLY, one of the gi-huge-acle mistakes some brides make about their photos of a lifetime is price. DO NOT shop for price alone. Although your budget may be the primary factor, view the overall package - personality, values, neatness, confidence and attitude... all the behind the scene things that are relevant to your success in finding 'the right' photographer. Your goal is to pay a fair price, receive great service and quality work. You can have it all!

Before we venture into what to expect from Tyme Photography, first let me tell you what you WILL NOT GET from us...

  • A photographer that will tell you, "This is how WE do it, WE don't usually do it that way."
  • A photographer that doesn't care about you after the sale.
  • Additional fees that are not told during the consultation.
  • Final orders that are delivered months later.
  • Photographer(s) not dressed properly for the occasion.
  • A photographer that just does it for the money.
  • A photographer that is indecisive or just looks on.




TYME PHOTOGRAPHY'S WEDDING COMMITMENT TO YOU

  1. I guarantee my professionalism, my work and my products. If not satisfied with any product or service, I will personally make it right for you. I'm the owner and I give myself permission to do that.
    No matter how small, large or different your wedding may be you will be treated like a king or queen. We accept reservations as they arrive; not holding the busiest dates for the 'larger' weddings.
    Every wedding is unique. We strive to find those unique differences to ensure your images reflect your personality and needs - not a carbon copy of the last wedding.
    Many hours have been invested with nationally known photographers through workshops and seminars to ensure your overall experience reflects the quality and superb service you deserve.
    I love what I do! The result? Images that show emotions and expressions that are natural because everyone is having a great time.
    Once you reserve your date with Tyme Photography nothing is left to chance. You are informed at various intervals of what you need to do and when, regarding your investment in us, for your wedding coverage.
    We photograph any number of images necessary to tell your complete wedding story making it a fun experience for you - efficiently and professionally.
    You're allowed to be yourself to have fun to enjoy the day with those you've invited. I am not obtrusive nor inconsiderate of others that wish to share the day with you.
  2. My goal as a wedding photographer is to be remembered as the guy who documented all the emotions and happiness of the day and had fun doing it with everyone involved.

Your Initial Consultation

  • An informal no obligation, free chat session that lasts about one hour.
    You'll meet me, your photographer Charlie, we'll chat about your ideas, answer questions and view samples.
    No pressure tactics to 'sign on the dotted line'.
  • If you love what Tyme Photography offers don't hesitate. Reserving now guarantees your date.

Reserving Your Date

  • An initial retainer reserves your wedding date. No need to choose a collection at this time. Once reserved, we remind you what you need to do at pre-determined intervals. No need to call us.
  • We meet two weeks before the big day to discuss all the details of the day.
  • The Tyme is now...the choice is yours.

On Your Wedding Day

  • Your personal plans, your chosen collection, or both, may determine the photography start time. All collections include consecutive hours of coverage. Photos at different locations, perhaps between the ceremony and reception, are included in consecutive coverage terms. Professional studio lighting is used at the altar and set up is done prior to the start time. Requests from family members, their relatives and members of the wedding party are encouraged. These do not have any added fees. Remember, these will be your family heirlooms, not ours. Just ask! If there is something you don't want tell us that as well.
  • Rather than faces peering into a camera lens, the 'formal' type photos denote movement or an interpretive style.
  • Your alter formals will include modern, classical, romantic and traditional images. Not static expressions looking into a camera lens.

After The Wedding

  • Previews are usually ready in approximately 10-14 days following the wedding. Images will be posted on-line for viewing and ordering within 2-3 days. Ideal for distant relatives and friends.
    Albums are guaranteed against manufacturing defects for life.
  • Your photos will remain your most cherished possessions for the rest of your lives. As families change and you both grow older through the years you can sit back and reflect through the pages of Tyme your most memorable day - your wedding day!
