Wedding coverage is different for each couple needs. Pete is very versatile and flexible to meet any situation. All wedding proof prints are printed into 4x6 color copy righted photographs. The proof books that hold the proofs are black in color, and each holds about 300 photographs.

Normal coverage of a wedding day consists of about 600 proof prints. Pete begins the day photographing the bride, her family and the bridesmaids before the ceremony. The the groom, his family and his groomsmen are photographed about one hour before the ceremony at the church. All ceremony photographs are taken from the back of the church without flash, due to requirements of most churches. Formal portraits after the ceremony usually take 45 minutes depending on the size of the wedding party and the number of family members involved in the photographs.

Candid coverage of the reception includes introductions of the wedding party, cake cutting, and photographs of dances and special events. Pete ususlly photographs up through the bouquet and garter event. This usually towards the end of the evening, allowing all special photographs to be completed, including a good-bye photograph. When you return from your honeymoon your proofs will normally be ready for you to pick up.
