Studio 98

Business Description

Your wedding isn't just another day. It's a celebration of life and love, and the first chapter in the story of your new lives together. We want to capture the details, moments and emotions that make your wedding day uniquely yours. Our style is contemporary and photojournalistic, which means your photos will reflect your wedding, not what a photographer thinks your wedding was supposed to be. Bride and Groom portrait sessions are tailored to each couple, to fit their wants, needs and personalities instead of using the same set of poses every single time.The last thing you should have on your mind during The Big Day is the photography. Wondering if the photographer is catching those important moments only takes away from your enjoyment of the day, and we don?t want that to happen. Our goal as photographers is to be thoroughly professional, prepared for anything, and always ready to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments. We're also happy to create custom packages to meet any photography budget.
