Question?

Q. What kind of equipment will be used at my wedding?

A. At Photographic Keepsakes we use only high quality professional digital cameras with the best lens that are on the market, we don't buy the cheep lens with plastic optics. We also use multiple studio portrait lighting for the formals, this will give you three dimensional portraits lighting that can not be accomplished with an on camera flash.

Q. What type of training and how much experience does Karl have?

A. Karl has invested much time and energy each year in attending intense training on wedding photography at various schools across the United States featuring the most prestigious photographers in North America. With 26 years of experience photographing weddings in four different states, you are insured to have the quality of wedding portraits that don't just happen without a lot of experience.

Q. I have a friend who has a new digital camera. Why should I hire a professional to photographic my wedding?

A. Anyone can point a camera and say cheese, but just because someone owns a good camera does not make him or her a wedding photographer. If someone owns a knife, will that make them a surgeon? Would you let your friend operate on you? For awesome wedding portraits it requires years of training and experience. Karl has photographed over 500 weddings. Would you be willing to chance the most valuable portraits in your lifetime to someone with little or no training and experience in photographing your weddings?
