Welcome, and thank you for inquiring about our services:
We have been in the photographic field for over 20 years. Our formal education is in fine art Black and White photography. Shortly after entering our photographic careers, we decided to specialize in the one field that we truly love the most: "Fine Art Wedding and Portrait Photography". Early on, we made the decision to keep our gallery in our home and to limit the amount of Portrait sittings and Weddings that we photograph. This has allowed us to concentrate our efforts into creating "one of a kind" Portraits and Wedding Albums.
We feel that your Wedding Day is one of the most important days of your life. When that day comes to an end, your photographs will be the only permanent record of your wedding memories....the joy, the laughter, the smiles and the tears. In choosing a photographer to capture that very important day, remember that you will look back and see your wedding day through the eyes and sensitivity of that photographer. My wife Linda and I will capture these precious moments unobtrusively with style and creativity. Our Coverages include up to 9 hours of wedding day photography. You will receive all of the Wedding Day images; custom printed in a mix of color and black & white (yours to keep). We will also upload your images to a website for you, family and friends to view. Your Album options include: Traditional hand made matted albums, Sophisticated Library Bound albums, and Contemporary Coffee Table book albums, all custom designed by us to tell the story of your day. In order to get to know each couple individually and provide them with the best service possible, we only accept a limited amount of weddings per month and per year. The best way to make sure we are available is to contact us soon for an appointment. We would love to meet you and talk about your wedding day plans and show you how we can create images you will cherish for a lifetime.
The artsy look of Black and White Portraits speaks of stability and lasting emotions that are behind our most valued relationships. This session is planned with absolute simplicity in mind. Clothing is purposely kept dark to maximize the impact of the image. By using one background with no props, one is able to visually enjoy and celebrate the relationship itself. When viewed in your home, your attention will go immediately to the faces of those you love and cherish!
These location portraits captured in your surroundings will reflect your style, and will highlight what makes you and your family unique. Your environment, whether at your shore home, your favorite park or your backyard flower garden, becomes the backdrop that highlights your interests. Maybe it's the family dog that runs with you each day, or simply family walks at the park, it's an adventure in photography as we work together to create a lasting memory!
Thank you,
Al and Linda Filippone
