Weddings

I provide a low cost wedding photography - If you're looking for a reasonable rate for several hours of coverage at your Wedding, you don't need to spend over a $1,500 or more to have some nice wedding photos. 

Although there are many options and package type available from other photographers, I try to keep things quite simple. You just get all the photos - good or bad (there's always some that are out of focus, the flash didn't go off, etc)... Rather than making up proof sets, you just get them all - since it saves time it also saves money (actually it saves a lot of money! There's no time needed to put together the proofs, the time with the client to go through them and figure out what they want and don't want, which ones get enlarged, etc).

Having done a number a weddings, I've found that when creating a "Package" of enlagements, reductions (wallets), and album photos (and reprints), it takes an incredible amount of time. When a photo needs to appear a certain way enlarged or reduced, it can cost extra at the lab for custom cropping - these are all reasons that the cost of having a photographer put together a package is priced so high... 

Recently I've noticed that it is much easier on the consumer's pocketbook, without a major change in the quality of the photos, to have me stay for a few hours and capture the ceremony,  reception, pre-wedding preparation, etc. and then just hand over a couple hundred pictures. 

By all means we can put together a package, but there is huge cost difference between the DIY package and the MB Photography Package...

Let's work together to make your wedding day memorable - prewedding, formals, reception, etc. no matter if you choose to handle the album creation yourself, or have MB Photography take care of all the details.

 

Events

Large or Small. From a birthday party to a family reunion. 

Just like covering a wedding, when having any event covered there is some planning involved. I won't just show up and start clicking away randomly (well, there will be some random clicking, but there has to be a little structure to it as well...)

Here's an example of some of the photos you would want to capture at a family reunion:

bulletGroup photo of everyone
bulletPhotos of all the 1st cousins
bulletPhotos of all the 2nd cousins 
bulletPhotos of the oldest and Youngest attendees
bullet"Family" photos (entire branch of the family tree: grandmother / father, children, grandchildren, etc)

For a birthday, graduation, there would be a different set of specific pictures to capture. For any event there are always the candid photos that really capture the event, we don't forget to get lots of those!

 

Location Portraiture

   Location portraiture services are designed for the photographer to come to a site of your choosing - home or office.

   Location portraiture takes the travel burden off your shoulders and lets you relax in your natural environment. 

   Don't think of this as only a photographer coming to your home or office! If a natural setting for you is in a park in the springtime, then imagine having a photo shoot done in your favorite park at your favorite time of the year. Maybe even including your pet(s) and other loved ones.
