Jessica and Ryan are married

Filed under Wedding Photography, Weddings • Written by folandsphotography @ 7:36 pm

From the moment I saw Ryan and Jessica in the morning I knew we were going to have a great day together.

Ryan played baseball in the morning before his wedding and then partied all day and night. Amazing energy level!

Jessica was stunning and the bridesmaids turned every head.

After the ceremony we stopped at a tavern by SeaCliff beach in Leamington, got a few shots (photos that is) and then walked down to the pier.

Check out a few of their awesome wedding photos.

Jessica and Ryan, thanks for an extremely fun wedding day!

Sarah and Michael are married

Filed under Uncategorized, Wedding Photography, Weddings • Written by folandsphotography @ 4:00 pm

What do vintage automobiles and Chinese tea parties have in common? Well, I’m not sure but both were present at Sarah and Michael’s wedding in Chatham Ontario.

The weather was PERFECT and the wedding couple looked as good as the weather.

After the ceremony Sarah and Michael were chauffeured in a vintage Chrysler. I happen to love old cars so I felt right at home.

When we arrived at the reception at the Retro Suites Hotel we were met by the Chatham Town Crier. This was the most amazing reception introduction I have ever seen!

At the end of the ceremony everyone lined up outside, lit sparklers and saw the happy couple off to a lifetime of happiness.

Sarah and Michael, it was an amazing day and thank you for having me there to celebrate with you.

Dan and Jennifer’s Wedding

Filed under Wedding Photography, Weddings • Written by folandsphotography @ 6:14 pm

On Saturday, May 16, I had the pleasure of celebrating Dan and Jennifer’s wedding. The ceremony was at St. Joe’s River Canard and the day started our with rain. In fact, the wedding planners from A Perfect Day brought extra large umbrellas and shielded the bride and bridesmaids on the way into the church.

I always enjoy doing a group photo on the steps of St. Joe’s after the ceremony and guess what, the rain stopped, the ground dried up and we got an awesome group photo of everyone that attended.

After the ceremony we dropped by the Windsor Art Gallery for some playtime photos. The lighting in the glass room is spectacular with the view of the Detroit Skyline.

Off to the Ciociaro Club in Windsor for the reception where we ate a great meal and celebrated.

Thanks Jen and Dan for having me at your wedding–it was my honor to be there.


Here’s Dan early in the morning and ready to get married.

Jessica and Luis are married

Filed under Uncategorized, Wedding Photography, Weddings • Written by folandsphotography @ 6:03 pm

Jessica and Luis are both physical fitness trainers and it really shows. They were going strong all day (and their photographer had to keep up with them).

Their wedding ceremony was at St. Anne’s in Tecumseh and right after Jessica and Luis had a dove release. This is one of the most exciting group photos I have ever done. Just look at everyone’s face in the photo.

After the ceremony we headed down to the Art Gallery in Windsor, Ontario. As a wedding photographer I LOVE shooting here. There is so much to work with. As we were leaving Jessica, Luis and I were walking down the stairs and I saw an amazing light coming through the window. I stood on the stairway (above Jessica and Luis) and caught the photo below. The instant I hit the trigger I knew I created art work for them. Sometimes photos are like sweet poetry.

After the art gallery we went to the Keg and as they say, the rest of the night was history.

Jessica and Luis, your wedding my my last wedding for 2009. Thanks for ending the year with a huge bang–I completely enjoyed covering your wedding.

Stephanie and Steve’s Wedding

Filed under Wedding Photography, Weddings • Written by folandsphotography @ 5:31 pm

On October 4th I had the pleasure of covering Stephanie and Steve’s wedding. Their ceremony was held outdoor at Willistead Manor in Windsor, Ontario. It was a bright sunny day and the temperature was cool and mild.

After the ceremony we headed inside where Stephanie and Steve heated things up a little. As you can see from the photos they are an amazingly photogenic couple. Willistead Manor is just beautiful inside and no matter how many weddings I cover there I always find some new angle or pose to use.

Stephanie and Steve, It was a wonder wedding and I hope you love your photos.

Christina and Joel’s Wedding

Filed under Wedding Photography • Written by folandsphotography @ 3:00 pm

On Saturday August 23 I had the pleasure of celebrating Christina and Joels’s wedding day. It was a VERY hot day and I lost about 22 pounds by the time I left the reception. It’s funny but I never saw any sweat on Chrstina or Joel. Hmmmmm….

After the ceremony we headed out to the beautiful Beachgrove Golf Club in Tecumseh and captured some family and playtime photos.

I think the day went about as perfect as it could and now I am out shopping for smaller pants.

Chrstina and Joel, thanks for the new wardrobe! All the best to you.

Our Process

Filed under Wedding Photography Tags: , — • Written by folandsphotography @ 6:51 pm

Our Process 

Using high quality professional digital camera equipment we may take as many as 4,000 images on your wedding day.  To keep your memories safe, we also back up these images during the day to portable hard drive equipment and never allow the digital media to leave our possession.  The same evening after your wedding we come back to the office and download the images into our computer.  For an extra measure of safety the digital files are burned to DVDs and one copy is taken off site.

During the post processing phase, we will select the best 400 – 600 photos (sometimes more).  Your images are then color balanced, adjusted for proper exposure and put onto a DVD to become your proofs (or digital negatives). Your proofs are also posted on line for your friends and family to view and order. We attempt to have the processing of your proofs completed and Posted within one week of your wedding. During our busy season however it may take a bit longer but never more than 3 weeks.

You are free to print the photos from your digital negatives DVD.  It’s important for us to note however, when we process your photos and have them printed it’s done through a carefully controlled procedure using professional photo labs.  Therefore we cannot guarantee the quality of the photos that you have printed at a local lab or retailer. This is why many wedding couples and their families still prefer to order photos from us online because we guarantee the quality of your photos and we guarantee your satisfaction.

Within the next two weeks after your proofs are ready we take the best 50 – 100 images (sometimes more) that tell your wedding day story and apply our very own special artwork to them.  With these images will we will create your online slideshow and we will pre-design your wedding album.  The predesigned wedding album is posted to your webpage for you to review and request changes.

We’ve discovered that it’s much easier for wedding couples to see a pre-designed album and then make small changes rather than sift through 600 photos to narrow down your favorites. Additionally, when we design your album we may select special photos to use for backgrounds, accessories or other designed elements that people may not normally consider.

Once you approve your album design it is then sent to the binder. About a month later we receive the completed wedding album.

If you have any questions about this process please feel free to contact us.
