weddings
if you are looking for the proofing and print site for a recent wedding, it is at www.zenfolio.com/brooksphotography we base our pricing on what you want, how many hours will be involved, and how many people will be assisting because things happen so quickly we need at least 2 photographers to do the job properly. there are no re-shoots! that kiss at the altar only lasts a few seconds. we bring 3 cameras, a dozen memory cards and batteries, strobes with umbrellas, on camera flashes...in short we get some of the best shots of the day. our packages start at $1800 for the ceremony and a couple hours of reception, and we can custom fit our services to meet your budget all the way to a full day. review our work and you can see we have a very natural unposed style. the day after the wedding the flowers are wilting, the food is gone, the reception hall is being vacuumed...but your pictures are forever. we include online proofing of images that has a section for you to leave instructions for us as you are viewing the image. this includes a printing service so family and friends can view images and order what they want without having to bug you to do it for them. other services include collages of different images on one large print, custom thank you cards with your favorite image on them, portraits printed on canvas with a museum wrap presentation, and a lot of other options too. to arrange a consultation and review of work please contact me at 419-724-7499 or
"i interviewed 4 other photographers and thought no one out there knew what i wanted until i saw your work. it was an immediate connection! i didn't want all the smoke machines and fake photoshop techniques...i just wanted natural and candid moments with perfect lighting, which i knew would be hard to do in the museum, but you succeeded perfectly. and our album is so unique! eric and i love the coffee-table style offset printed leather album so much more than the usual plastic sleeves with pictures stuck in them! the way you tell a story of our day from beginning to end is amazing and we think you are the best wedding photographer in town. thanks! " .....michaela and eric "we knew the toledo zoo was where we wanted our wedding and had definate ideas about the photography, but you went way beyond what we expected and caught all the candid moments perfectly. our friends are raving over the story-book style of our album because they have never seen another photographer make a book like that before. and how you ever got that shot of us on the carousel we will never know, but you did. our friends thought you were the nicest wedding photographer they had ever met. we are so glad we found you! " ......jamie and buddy "when my mom told me she knew a photographer i thought ugh i don't want something real traditional, but when we saw your work we were amazed. you cross over between the traditional shots you expect and yet catch those fun quick moments that are totally candid and unposed. the pictures by olander lake were amazing even though the sun was setting. my cousin got married a few months before and was jealous when she saw the leather bound coffee table book printed just for us, and the chapter breaks you put into it were an awesome touch. thanks so much for all your hard work!
