weddings

 

Your wedding is such a pivotal day in your lives.

You deserve a photographer who enjoys weddings, who is low-key, supportive and easy to be around. So many wedding photographers add to the tension of the day instead of removing it. But we tailor your wedding photography to your needs, and flexibility is our watchword.

Matching your style to that of your wedding photographer is vital, so here’s how we do our work.

We meet with you in advance or exchange as many emails and phone calls as needed to understand your personalities. Often, we begin the process of getting to know you by producing your engagement photography. Depending on which package you choose, we attend the rehearsal to gauge the site and meet you, and can start the wedding day by photographing you as you prepare for the ceremony. Then comes the ceremony, reception, dance. We are there for it all, with a careful attention to detail, mood and quality. And ready to respond to the spontaneity of the participants and the moment.

We offer a range of posed portraits with you and your friends and family both before and after the service as needed, and we specialize in candid portraiture in the photojournalistic style that has become so popular in the last ten years. Compelling images of your loved ones and you experiencing the tears and laughter of a day that will change all your lives.

With the proliferation of digital cameras these days, most couples have at least one friend or relative willing to shoot some wedding pictures. But over the years, long after the wedding cake is eaten and that beautiful wedding gown has aged and yellowed, it's the photographs that you will cherish through the decades of your lives together. You deserve the attention and quality a professional brings to this, one of your most special days.

We present the product to you in one of two ways.

1. We can present images to you on CD/DVD as high-resolution jpegs to print at your leisure and to your own needs, including a set of tips on how to get the most out of printing your own images and a letter of release to allow you to make prints whenever and wherever you choose.

In this electronic world, more and more people are comfortable with, and in fact prefer, making prints on their home printer or bringing the CD/DVDs into big box stores or photo shops to make prints there.

2. In the modern version of the traditional wedding print package, we can also mount proofs in an online gallery accessible only to the wedding clients. You and your friends and family can look through the images at your leisure, order directly from that gallery, and the prints are shipped to you. Printed wedding books and other products also are available through this process.

"Steve was fantastic. Being a bride and the center of attention can be pretty nervewracking, especially on the day where you’re supposed to be calm, cool, and completely composed. Every so often he’d throw me a wink … as if to remind me, 'It’s a beautiful day, you’re doing GREAT. Enjoy it!' Which really helped! He made me completely relax and enjoy our day. 

"When Bill and I first talked about the photographer we wanted, we both agreed on the same thing. We wanted someone that would be able to take some posed pictures, but mostly to capture the moment of the day. The excitement, the joy, the tears, the happiness. 

"There’s so much going on during your wedding day, the last thing we wanted was to be hindered by directions from the photographer. Turn your chin this way or that way ... . Instead of having a photographer that was up and center, we wanted a more “behind the scenes” guy to capture more of the emotion of the day. Steve was there to do just that. He took pictures quickly and quietly, many times without us even noticing. The result was fantastic. We have smiles and laughter. Hugs and Tears. Great memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives."

"I am so happy we chose Steve to be our photographer for our wedding. He was absolutely amazing. Everything he did went above and beyond what most wedding photographers will do. He started by meeting us at our rehearsal dinner to get a feel for the venue, plan the wedding day, and to get to know our personalities. On the wedding day, Steve was very laid back, pleasant, and enjoyable to work with. I knew I didn’t have to worry about how my pictures would turn out.

"Most of the time, I didn’t even realize Steve was there. He worked quietly in the background, capturing the most important moments of the day. When we got our pictures back, we were amazed to see that Steve didn’t miss a thing. He completely captured the feeling of the day, and looking at our pictures takes us right back to the moment.

"I could not be happier with the way our pictures turned out. Many times, when looking at wedding pictures, they all look the same with the same poses, just different people. Our pictures are unique, and capture our feelings and personalities. Steve is truly an artist. He paid close attention to every detail, and positioned himself in places that would capture the beautiful scenery. As a result, the pictures are stunning. I can’t thank Steve enough for the wonderful memories he has provided us."

"As our special day rushed upon us, we had struggled to find a non-traditional photographer for our natural outdoor fall wedding. That is, until Joe recalled the work of Steve Foss Images. 

"Steve’s style of outdoor photography suited our needs perfectly. Our number one requirement was to have candid photos, and Steve did just that. His adaptive qualities and comfort with nature allowed Steve to provide the utmost real life images.

"Steve went well above the job description of a photographer and became more like a friend of the family. He was very flexible with our schedule and spontaneous ceremony.

"And Steve provided us our images on CDs, which gave us the ability to get the photos developed at our own pace. It also granted us the freedom to design our own photo book of memories.

"Professionalism and candidness mark the work of Steve Foss, and for a couple who had almost given up on a photographer, Steve has well captured the memories from our greatest day. We will have them for the rest of our lives, and we will have a great friend, too."
