Wedding Photography by Tim and Dana Shaffer

Team Photography

Photographing your wedding is an Art. Weddings are the most demanding of  all the photographic arts. Technical prowess and a command of aesthetics is mandatory.  In no other  photographic situation are there more variables that have to be considered. We have been developing our art, and expertise for a number of years, and we have found that the best way to capture all the emotions and related events is to photograph as a team. Two photographers, especially a husband and wife team can literally be in two places at once. Nothing gets missed. You get two different angles and more importantly two separate perspectives.

Our style of photographing your wedding is determined by your preferences. We are capable of giving you beautiful candid images without  involving you in the actual process, (photojournalistic),.

We are just as comfortable if you need direction and desire a more traditional approach.

Our personal belief is that a mixture of the two styles gives you a well-rounded coverage of the day. This results in an album, or individual photographs  that will show a beautiful reflection of your love for each other and the joy and happiness that your family and friends shared with you that day.

In either case we still give all the respect and courtesy you would expect to your family and guests. We pride ourselves on not being the “ugly photographer”.

Wedding are a very special occasions, rich with traditions. We love photographing them, and creating many special images for you to remember it by.
