No packages! No requirements! When you choose The LOOK to document your wedding day with wonderful photos, the decision is simple. (It’s selecting your favorite images that’s going to be hard!)

When you decide to book our services for your wedding day, you have made the only essential decision between now and the day we unveil your wonderful images.

Our team of two (or three) professional photographers will be there to create your photo memories from the moments you put the finishing touches on your makeup and don your gown through your first special dance together as husband and wife. Generally we spend from six to eight hours with our couples. We watch the pageantry and fun of your special day — not the clock.

Nor do you have to decide which photographs you’d like us to take. We will take everything you want ... from lovely details to tears and laughter, from group pictures to your moments at the altar ... and then some. If you have special images in mind that we may not think of, be sure to tell us. We are your eyes. Our photos will be your memories. If you want something unique, big or small, ASK! (We’d feel terrible if you didn’t!)

Why “packages” is a bad word

You do not need to select a certain package in advance, either. We hate the word! Just as our photography is intended to reflect YOU ... YOUR ideas ... YOUR wishes ... YOUR memories ... you may also choose whatever album, print or multimedia formats you’d like after you’ve fallen in love with your photos.

Our goal is to capture all the photographs we’ll need to build the storybook album of your dreams. We work with one of Europe’s top art book and album publishers, GraphiStudio of Venice, Italy, to create the most beautiful albums in the world.

(Have you seen GraphiStudio books? If not, you **must** stop in to chat and see for yourself. There is simply nothing else like them on earth.)

Our basic storybook album is huge — almost 10" by 13" — and library-bound with a stunning full photographic cover. Starting at 30 pages (15 full, undivided panoramas), these books are truly the Mercedes approach to wedding memories.

Yet they are surprisingly affordable. Because of their magazine-style designs, they can accommodate a virtually unlimited number of photos. Our typical 30-page album includes 90 to 100 separate images.

There are NO EXTRA CHARGES per photograph included in your album. Compare our total prices with other studios’ elaborate price structure per page and per print, and you will be surprised. The best really can be a bargain!

The bottom line

So what will you invest in our services? Commissioning The LOOK for your wedding day is $2,000, including all photography and an $800 deposit to be credited toward the album(s), portraits, DVDs and other products you select. (While the options honestly are endless and require more explanation, consider that the total cost of the basic GraphiStudio storybook that I’ve described is about $1,200.)

We have several finance plans available, both for your initial investment and for the books, prints and other products you eventually may purchase. We accept all major credit cards, too.

• Wedding Photo Gift Registry — Loved ones who are looking for the perfect gift may sponsor part or all of your Bridal Book. (This option is especially nice for couples who already have many of the kitchen and home basics so often received as wedding gifts.) If you decide to register your choice of wedding photo memory media — an album, wall portrait or even digital multimedia picture show (in a new digital picture frame), just let us know. We’ll create an on-line registry and also print postcards or invitation enclosures to mail to your guests.

• “The LOOK of Love”: an extended engagement photo session in our studio and special locations around the area. Your favorite images from these relaxed, fun sessions are the basis for your photographic guest book — a LOOK exclusive. (Most suites also include a DVD of the session’s images set to music.)

• A custom-designed wedding guest book featuring favorite photos from the LOOK of Love session.

• A classic studio bridal session in the days before your wedding.

• Team photographic coverage on your wedding day ranging from five to eight hours.

• A personal Web site at www.theLOOKgallery.com featuring images from your wedding day, usually available online within 7 to 10 days.

• A LOOKbook digital preview catalog of all of your images from which you can select favorite and least-favorite photos

• An archival DVD of your original digital images for you to store in your safety deposit box, including copyright release

• Photographic thank-you cards to distribute to wedding guests featuring your favorite engagement images — a great way to show appreciation for their support
