This is exciting!

Four new 'value priced' packages combined with a new, more stress free album design process called J.E.T.

Lifetime Images proudly introduces four new  wedding photography packages to our product line  True to our motto of “Affordable Excellence”  these value priced packages do more than offer a great deal, they also get you a  beautiful  finished album into your hands  much closer to your wedding date.   It’s a new process we’ve developed called J.E.T .   J.E.T. has helped us simplify our process, become more efficient, and more importantly,  greatly reduced the legwork out clients must do to get a beautiful album.   J.E.T. is something we’ve been developing for the past couple of years, and so far it’s been a huge success!    The clients who have gone through the process thus far have been thrilled, and new clients who  have listened to the plan have enthusiastically signed up.  People find it really hard to believe that an experienced, established wedding photography studio such as Lifetime Images can offer such a great deal.    It blows away a most  of the deals the rookies are trying to entice you with.     Part of the core foundation of the packages is wedding photography is specifically tailored to what our clients need , and most importantly, executed well.  The cornestone of these packages  is photography that is doesn’t need to be rescued with  Photoshop.

Normally we do complete write ups for each package and try to fill in as many details as posssible.   With these four new packages we do appologize that this won’t be the case for two reasons.    First, you really need to see these packages in person, because the entire plan is part of the package.  When see the photography first hand,  look at the albums and books in person,  and understand how we intend to  deliver for you, it’s much better than trying to figure it out on a website.   You will be sold!  Second, we put these packages together with a lot of hard work , and have carfefully weighed  each aspect of the packages to offer our clients more for less.   We have other friends who are photographers and there are a lot of other photographers who come to our site to borrow ideas for themselves.    The J.E.T. plan works great for us, but can be extremely detrimental to other photographers.  We don’t even want to imply this is how other photographers should  approach wedding photography.   

What, are you kidding, is this great news or what?  Ladies and gentlemen, break out your old Backstreet Boys albums, call your friends, stay up late and throw a party, it's time to celebrate!  The guy who has won Interntaional Awards for wedding photography, has been flown to exotic locations to photograph weddings, who has years of creative ideas and unique stying that other photographs have tried to bogart as their own is now available for you and your wedding.   Truely exceptional wedding photography from someone liscensed, insured, and extremely experienced,  someone who not only is exceptional at what he does, is in your future.  You are going to feel very good about what we offer because better wedding photography than you may have thought you can afford is within reach!    Please give us a call at (877)789-1655 to schedule your appointment!

New Product, and boy is it cooooool!

In June I went down to cover a wedding in Cabo San Lucas for Kellie & Diego.  I met Kellie a few years back when she was a bridesmaid for her friend Jennifer's wedding.  Her mother had been hoping for the wedding of Kellie for a long time, and she wanted Kellie to have an exceptional album like Jennifers album.  Though it had been four years since her Jen's wedding, her album had made the rounds and had made lasting impression. In a very, very strange twist of fate, a wedding that prevented me from going to Cabo was cancelled.  I was free and clear for Kellie's wedding.  We had planned the engagement portrait session about three times for Laguna Beach.   The first two times the weather didn't work, the third time, well, I've never seen Laguna Beach look so nice.   One of our album vendors showed us a new guest book album and I thought we had a great set of images for this book. Though I didn't have much time, I put the book together and I was able to bring it to Cabo.

I have to be honest, I had never made one of these albums, and I had no idea if Kellie would even like it.  This could have been a bad suprise if she didn't like it.  So, a couple of hours before her rehersal dinner she comes to my room and I pull it out.  Kellie, standing there in a two piece bikini looking movie star gorgious opens the box. The smile dissapears from her face.  "Oh crap" I'm thinking as she studies the book "then tears start coming out of her eyes and as she gives me a big hug and says "I love it."   By the end of the weekend everybody had seen the book, and signed it, as it was prominatly displayed by the cake table at her reception.  So many people came up to me and told me how much they loved the album.

This is around the forth version of a guest book album we've offered and thus far this is as close to perfect as we've seen.  The reason this album is great is because it can encorporate the engagement portriat images into the book in a manner that isn't dictated by mats and other preconcieved layouts.  Aside from engagement portraits we can encorporate other images of other things that the bridal couple may feel important to present.  Something to keep in mind is that traditionally most brides order large engagement portraits photos with signature mats and frames.  This looks great at the reception but is it really something you want to display in your home in the future?   With these guest books you can keep them in the box for storage and pull it out when you want to show people the book.  Also, unlike a large frame these books are easy to take with you to work, church, or to your friends house. Insstead of one image you can display many images from your session.  Yeah, this is good stuff!

Join the movement! 

Night and day you’re thinking about your wedding.  Some aspect of your wedding creeps up in nearly every conversation you have with family and friends  You spend your weekends looking for venues and cakes and DJ’s.  You spend more time than you really should worrying about color themes and formal dance  music selections.   When it comes to wedding photography you really don’t have a problem finding a number of wedding photography websites that feature nice images, nice blogs, and have nice prices.

We believe that nice isn’t good enough.  At Lifetime Images, we bring spectacular wedding photography to the nice price bracket.  For over a decade our work has been summed up in two words, affordable excellence.  You get the benefit of years of outstanding experience from a studio that is at the top of their game.  Most importantly, we show you what we‘ve done and we  consistently do what we show.   We give you realistic expectations of what you will  receive from us.   Wouldn’t it be great to know that you don’t have to worry about your wedding photography?  Wouldn’t it be good to know that you won’t fall victim to some hack studio that cannot consistently deliver images like they showed on their website?   Wouldn’t it be good to have a wedding album that wonderfully shows off your day?  Isn’t your time, effort and money spent on your wedding, all the planning, aggravation and lost sleep worthy of photography that is far beyond “Nice?”  If so, it’s time to join the movement!

Experience, Creativity, Results. . . What does this mean?

It's what makes a difference for your wedding photography.  Experience means more photographic opportunities realized on your wedding day.  It means not getting tripped up by a sudden change in plans.  It means being 5 steps ahead of the day.  Creativity is not a special effects filter in Photoshop.  It's having the ability to look at things in a different way, and capture things in a different way, to dig deeper and make images that stand on their own.  Your wedding day won't be easy, it will have it's own set of challenges and opportunities.  We utilize our vast repertoire of experience and creative ideas to give you results, not excuses.   Our clients show their albums and images off with pride. They've had a great experience, and have great images, and we hope the same thing for you.

Photojournalism Vs Traditional Wedding Photography, which is right for you?

If you spend some time looking around on wedding photography websites you will notice that wedding photographers have a lot to say about each subject.  Typically, if they take a stand on one side they cannot do the other thing very well.   Thus photographers who preach the virtues of Photojournalism tend to imply that traditional wedding photography is old, outdated, and something you don't want.  This sounds great in theory, but lets be honest for a moment;  Mom has all her living relatives and she wants a nice big family portrait, go ahead, tell her it's a bad idea! 

With Lifetime Images you don't have to decide which is important, we offer the perfect blend of both disciplines.  We are award winning for not only our elegant portraiture but our photojournalistic images.   We offer complete wedding photography with outstanding results, not excuses. 

Lifetime Images Cracks Down On Hack Wedding Photographers

Brides are getting ripped off every day by people who claim to be wedding photographers,  Some are deliberate scams, others are people who overestimate their skills and self-worth as photographers.   If photography isn't that important to you,  you won't have a problem finding a warm body with a camera to show up to your wedding.  If this is something that you want to do right the first time, because you won't ever get another shot at your wedding day, please read this.  Knowledge is power!!!
