Then Springfield Photography is PERFECT for you!

Our names are Wayne and Marisa, we're a father-daughter team and we LOVE weddings! We've photographed over 150 couples on their special day - not because we have to for the money, but rather because we WANT to, because we love the emotion, romance and fun of photographing weddings.

If you're still reading, this means you want to be the most beautiful bride anywhere. You want your wedding to be a wonderfully emotional and romantic day. You want to have everything go smoothly and perfectly and you want to have a great time. You want to see all your guests, and have them also have a amazing time. Well, here's how to do it:

Thank you for taking time to view our website and congratulations on your engagement! How exciting and romantic! Now, let's guarantee you have a fantastic and romantic wedding day - full of love, emotion and beauty! (As we're sure you are aware, that does take some planning!)

Springfield Photography is not for every Bride To Be...

Are we right for you?

If you are looking to have an "average" wedding - one that is stressful and not very organized, one where the guests hardly get to see you, one where you are so exhausted that you can hardly smile. If you want to have one where it seems like you're constantly putting out "fires" and solving emergencies; a wedding day where "so many things just went wrong"...

Then Springfield Photography is not for you. But...

...if you're a bride who wants her wedding to be the most PERFECT, most romantic, beautiful and emotional day of your life; if you want to enjoy every minute of your day; if you want to be the most ravishingly beautiful bride your friends and relatives have ever seen; if you want to spend wonderful, quality time with your guests; if you want to remember with happy tears in your eyes all the love, emotion and joys of the day...

"We love our photos! The quality of our photos is excellent! Photography was on the top of our priority list for our wedding and we feel as though we got the best of the best. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank You!!!"

7 Tips To Having The Wedding Of Your Dreams!

~TIP #1: How To Guarantee Your Wedding Lives Up To Your Dreams.

Believe it or not, the photographer you select to photograph your wedding can make or break your wedding day. Why? Because they are THERE - with you and your family, in person - interacting with all your family and guests - and representing you every minute.

We're not just talking photography - we're talking about YOUR WEDDING - how YOU FEEL on your wedding day, and how smoothly and romantically everything goes. You see, your photographer determines this, by the way they help you plan your wedding, the way they treat you and your loved ones, and the way they conduct themselves throughout the day.

So here's the secret: Meet the photographer - IN PERSON - before you hire anyone to photograph your wedding! Most brides don't realize that many studios hire part time photographers to photograph their weddings for them - high school and college kids, etc. This means that you go to a studio, talk with a salesperson, look at their samples, and make a decision - without really knowing who will be photographing your wedding!

And if it's not just the right person doing the photography, and interacting with all your family and guests, everything can be ruined!

So, when you're talking with a potential studio, ask them the following questions:

1. Who took the photographs you are showing me?

2. Who, by name, will be photographing our wedding if we hire your studio?

3. We want to MEET this person, BEFORE we hire your studio.

Then, when you meet this person, ask them the following questions:

1. How will you dress at my wedding?

2. Did you do ALL the samples of wedding photography we saw in the sample books? If not,

please show us YOUR work.

3. How many weddings have you photographed?

4. How long will you be at my wedding?

5. Will you check with us before you leave our wedding to see if there's anything else we would

like you to do?

6. Do you work from a checklist of photos? (You NEVER want a photographer who needs a

checklist doing your wedding photography! They'll spend all their time looking at the list, and

miss all the wonderful, romantic and spontaneous moments of your wedding!)

Then, decide if you REALLY LIKE them, as well as their work! Because they're going to be spending a lot of time with you and your family and friends, on your important day.

We could tell you so many horror stories we have heard. But let us just mention one so you understand how important this is...

Not long ago, while working with a bride and her bridesmaids, one of them started telling us a story from a wedding she had went to a couple of weeks prior. She said the photographer at that wedding was up on the altar during the ceremony (something we would NEVER do!). He was so close to the bride and groom that he was a huge distraction to the wedding party and the guests. He was taking the attention away from the most important people... the bride and groom. What was worse was that he was attempting to communicate with the bride and groom DURING the ceremony; getting them to "look this way" or "smile" or "tilt their heads down". We couldn't believe someone would do that!!! He obviously wasn't a romantic EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER or he wouldn't have ruined the romance and religious significance of the ceremony by distracting everyone - and, of course, trying to talk to the bride and groom DURING their ceremony!

Therefore, looking for a romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, who will beautifully tell the story of your love for each other, and for your family and friends, will also result in someone who will respect you and your wishes. They will conduct themselves in only the most professional and friendly way, because they understand in the most intimate way, the importance of the "Story of Your Wedding Day."

~TIP #5: The Truth About Wedding Photographers Revealed!

It is not our intention to say anything bad about any other photographers in the area. However, it is really important that we alert you, in this website to some of the problems that you otherwise might never know about.

Well, here's a "biggie."

Many photographers will cram as many weddings into a day as humanly possible. Often times, this means they must rush from your wedding, to get to another, and then rush from that one, to get to another.

This type of photographer just isn't going to be able to capture the EMOTIONS, ROMANCE, LOVE, AND RELATIONSHIPS between you and your husband and also between you and your family and friends. They just won't have the sensitivity, enthusiasm and love for what they do to be able to capture those feelings. Not to mention they won't have neither the time nor the energy.

We ONLY photograph ONE wedding per day.

You get us for the ENTIRE time you need us. We will NEVER book a wedding after or before yours. Even if you need us to stay longer than initially planned, you can tell us at the last minute... even 5 minutes before we were initially slated to leave. Like we mentioned before, we will check with you BEFORE we leave to make sure there isn't anything else you need. If you need us to stay longer, you can tell us then! We understand how important this day is to you, and we are there for you!

This also means that we're rested, energetic and enthusiastic about what we will be doing for you. As we said earlier, we photograph weddings because we LOVE them, not because we have to do them. And since we only photograph one wedding a day, we're not tired or "burned out" on your important day.

~TIP #6: The Secret To Truly Enjoying Your Wedding Day, And Having It Filled With Wonderful, Emotional Moments!

This is so important! Be sure the photographer you hire has a "team" approach to taking good care of you on your day. This means that they aren't going to try to work alone to photograph your important day.

You see, telling a really beautiful, romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY of your day requires a huge amount of planning, care, and effort. More effort than just one person can give.

Let us explain.

Both of us, Wayne and Marisa, will arrive at your wedding usually with an assistant. There are SO many wonderful advantages to having our "team" there. We both have cameras in our hands almost the entire time taking tons of images. When we are taking the formal group portraits, Wayne is manning a camera while Marisa is posing, fixing your dress, adjusting your veil and making sure you look as stunning in the images as you do in person. She makes certain that you look fantastic, every minute of the day!

Also to help things move smoothly, Marisa can join you and your bridesmaids in the Bridal Suite to capture those fun moments. No one is uncomfortable because only girls will be in the room!

Not only that, but having 2 photographers allows us to capture more than one thing at a time or capture the same moment (cake cutting for example) with two different views, angles and creative visions. It also gives you the security of a back-up photographer if one of us were to get sick.

Our assitant is there to help us move and set up our equipment. They also grab batteries, "film" and any lenses we may need. This allows us to continue directing 100% of our attention to you and your guests.

We are a TEAM. A team that together, guarantees that you not only have a great time on your wedding day, but also assures you of having BEAUTIFUL AND EMOTIONAL photographs!

"We highly recommend Springfield Photography. From our first consultation they have always been very professional and attentive to our needs. On our wedding day, they did not cause the least bit of stress. They had a lot of ideas, and they were open to our own ideas for the photographs. They were very organized, and were able to get a ton of wonderful pictures while not taking too long to get to the reception. The amount and quality of the pictures exceeded our expectations. Although we have not seen the actual album yet, the online version looks beautiful. Having the pictures on CD is priceless. We found Springfield Photography by their website, and we feel extremely lucky to have found them. They are reasonably priced, easy to work with, and produced beautiful memories of our wedding day. We can't thank them enough! We hope to use them again in the future when we start a family."

By the way, here's our answers to those questions:

-We are the ONLY photographers at our studio. Together, we will be photographing your wedding personally. Wayne will dress in a nice pair of dark slacks and long-sleeved button up shirt with a tie, while Marisa will be in a dressy shirt with a skirt or dark slacks. We do not usually dress in very formal attire like a tux because we don't want to take anything away from your groom and groomsmen and the fathers. However, we will if you request it! We also don't want to dress casually, and not represent you professionally.

-We have photographed over 150 weddings, over the last 5 years.

-We'll be at your wedding until you, your husband (how exciting - your "husband!"), your parents, and your husband's parents all say they have nothing else for us to do. We NEVER will leave your wedding without checking with all of the above people!

-We use no checklist. Instead, we work with you very closely to create a perfect day. We help you choose a "photography liasion" from each side of the family. You'll want to choose special friends or family members who know the important people in your life and know their relationship with you. With their assistance, we will be constantly watching for those special, magical and spontaneous moments that will be so meaningful to you!

~TIP #2: The Single Most Important 'Secret' You MUST Know About Weddings!

Here's a really big "secret" that almost no brides think about when interviewing a potential photographer: What's their guarantee? What happens if you aren't happy with the photography, or the way you and your friends were treated, or if the photographer left your wedding before they were supposed to, etc?

This is of the utmost importance! The guarantee (make sure it's in writing!) tells you just how committed they are going to be in taking good care of you, and doing a great job.

And, just so you know, here's our UNMATCHED, 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:

You will be THRILLED (not just 'satisfied') with how we represented you and your family at your wedding, and also THRILLED with your photographs, or we will do whatever necessary to have you be THRILLED with them, or we will return ALL YOUR MONEY. Period. No hard feelings either. We want you to LOVE everything we do for you!

You see, we understand that you can't do this over again. This is a "one-time-thing" and everything MUST be perfect! You have our written guarantee that we'll take excellent care of you!

~TIP #3: An Important Warning

This seems so obvious, and yet brides miss this one all the time, and pay a BIG PRICE for it after their wedding!

Be sure the photographer has lots of happy brides and grooms, who have written them and stated how happy there were with them, and their work! We're talking about TESTIMONIALS! From real people, with their full names, and their city and state. If you want to, you can call them just to "check them out" and make sure that they really said what the photographer says they said.

We're sorry to be so skeptical, but we live in a time when you have to be really careful to be certain that people are telling you the truth.

You will notice that throughout this website are photographs and testimonials from some of the brides and grooms whom we have been honored to work with on their wedding day. Also notice that their FULL names, city and state are listed. We also have a list of names and numbers or e-mail address available of some of our wedding couples who are more than happy to talk with you about their day with us! When you meet with us, we will show you many more.

"From the moment we met to do the engagement pictures, we immediately trusted you with everything. We couldn't be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. You captured every moment!

~TIP #4: A Perfect Way To Have A Great Wedding.

One of the things that you really want to look for in your photographer, is someone who is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER! An artistic photographer whose images combine to tell the EMOTIONAL STORY of your family, your friends, and your wedding day. This is especially important, if you are looking for photographs which will be PRICELESS to you for years and years to come!

Here's why this is so important! If an artist is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, there's a really good chance that he will be compassionate about not ruining the romance, beauty and emotions of your day. You see, only a true romantic can truly understand how important this day is to you, and how perfectly you want it to go. A true romantic will be sensitive to NOT INTERFERING WITH THE EMOTIONAL ROMANTIC FLOW OF YOUR DAY!

A HUGE POINT FOR BRIDES-TO-BE::

The "E.F.P" On Your Wedding Day!

You see, we don't really look at it as "wedding photography," but rather as "Emotional Family Photography" that just happens to be created on your wedding day! It's all about the emotions, relationships and personalities of all your friends and relatives, captured in beautiful images for you and your family to cherish for the rest of your lives. After all, isn't that what you really want?

"E.F.P." is one of the major things that separate us from other wedding photographers in the area. We want to capture the love, relationships, personalities, and emotions of all your family and friends for you to enjoy and view with happy tears in your eyes for years and years to come!

Because it's the PEOPLE and the EMOTIONS of your life that are so valuable to you. Yes, you'll also see the beautiful dresses and flowers. Yes, you'll see the lovely ceremony, etc. But more... much more than that, you'll feel the emotions that you and your husband feel toward each other and toward your best friends and family members on this magical day. Yes, FEEL them each time you view your photographs.

You see, you want photography that "speaks" to you with love, emotion, respect, and the glorious feelings you will be feeling on your wedding day. You want your photography to "tell the story" of your wedding day, AND your families and friends.

We want you to cry when you see the photographs! Cry tears of happiness, because in those photographs are all the people you and your husband love and care about - showing their real personalities and emotions like you never dreamed they would!

Most photographers just want to get home before midnight, or hurry to the next wedding they are photographing. Don't Miss The "Emotional Moments" Of Your Day Because Your Photographer Didn't Have The Vision To See And Capture Them In A Sensitive, Romantic Way! Your day will be filled with beautiful "Emotional Moments" that you will never experience again in your life. Those "Moments" are what we are driven to capture for you.

Here are three examples:

A New Wonderfully Emotional Way To Express Your Love For Your Dad On Your Wedding Day!

There's something full of emotional magic that you can give your dad when he gives you away! At that very powerful moment in his and your life, you hand him a surprise "Father's Pride" that he carries with him back to the pew, and as he reads your personal message to him, and looks at the emotional photograph of you in your wedding gown, he begins to cry with tears of joy and love!

He will be so moved and touched! You and he will never forget it!

Don't miss that moment!

The Magic Moment When The Love Of Your Life First Sees You!

Don't miss the incredible moment when your fiancé first sees you in your wedding gown - perfect in every way - with your lovely flowers, the beautiful veil and headpiece. Everything which you selected specifically for him. You will cherish the moment as the tears swell up in his eyes, and he tells you how very much he loves and adores you.

Before we continue, let us reiterate that we are there to do what YOU want us to do. We will NEVER push you in a direction you do not wish to go. However, we must mention something that can make your day flow even smoother and create a moment you will cherish forever.

We know tradition states that a bride and groom may not see each other before the ceremony. The great part about this is that when you first see each other it will be magical and romantic walking down the aisle. However, there are a few cons to this. Most importantly, there is a good chance you will be so nervous that you will not be able to fully take-in that special moment. Secondly, you will have to plan your formal portraits so that you do not see each other before which will leave a good amount of images to be taken after the ceremony. This will delay the part of the day you have probably spent the most planning on...the reception! We want to let you know there is a PERFECT compromise!

We can work with you to create a moment just like that before the ceremony and portraits. We can set up a time for your fiancee to be in the sanctuary, or other special place. You can walk in at a set moment and share an intimate time together. With both of us in there, we will be able to create the most romantic and intimate images of you two seeing each other for the first time. We will be able to capture the look in his face when he first sees you... something that we may not be able to get a good angle on depending on the church policies and standing guests.

Think of the positives to this as well. Not only do you STILL get that "first look" at each other, but you get to actually spend time talking, holding hands (and kissing!!!) each other in private. Also, you get to take all of your formal portraits BEFORE the ceremony allowing you to go straight to the reception. The moment you walk down the aisle, you will still get nervous and butterflies in your stomach. After all, your guests are there and you ARE getting married this time!

We will not pressure you to do one or the other, but we like to keep our clients informed with ways to make their day so much smoother.

Don't miss that moment!

A Magic Moment With Grandma

If you are lucky enough to still have a living grandmother, you can treasure the lovely moment when she reaches up and puts her arms around you, and with tears in her eyes, tells you how beautiful you look.

Don't miss that moment!

We could go on and on. Your entire day will be made up of brief, priceless moments like these. Let's make sure first of all that your day is so beautifully organized and planned that these moments truly can happen, and then let's help you to be so stress free, but excited, that you can enjoy and remember these wonderful, magical moments for the rest of your life.

How do we do that?

I'll bet you think we're going to say that you do this through the photography. Right? Wrong! The way we help these moments happen, and help you remember them, is to help you have a wonderful, romantic and emotional day! A day where everything goes perfectly. As long as we do that, the rest will take care of itself!

That's what we will do for you.

If you ever talk with a photographer who says this to you, run away as fast as you can!

If he says, "Your photographs are all you will have after the wedding is over. Your flowers will be dead, your cake will be eaten, etc. - but you'll have your photographs! They are the most important thing about your wedding!" - then he's NOT the photographer for you!

Why not? Because if he says that, he has a completely false impression of his importance, and will try to run your day and take charge! Don't let that happen! Because the photographs are NOT the most important thing; the romance, emotions and relationships are!

~TIP #7: How To Be Assured That You Will Be The Most Beautiful Bride Your Friends Or Relatives Have Ever Seen!

You deserve to have a wedding day where you are the most beautiful bride any of your friends or relatives have ever seen. That's the dream of every girl when she begins visualizing her wedding day. And you deserve to have that!

Let's see to it that is exactly what happens! How? Simple. Yes, you will select the perfect dress, headpiece, veil, flowers, shoes, etc. You will have your hair and make up done. But it goes much deeper than that.

You see, beauty is also in the way you FEEL on your wedding day. The way your emotions show on your face. The way you glow when you walk down the aisle and look in the eyes of the love of your life.

Many of our past brides will understand this when we say, "When you hire us to photograph your wedding, you're really paying for us to be there." To take all the pressures and tensions out of the day for you. You know that we are there, and that we truly care about you, and will help you with EVERYTHING so the day goes perfectly. That's really what our brides are paying us for. The photographs are free. They're just an added "bonus!"

You see, if you, your husband, your family and guests are all having a wonderful time, you will be more beautiful than you have even dreamed you would be. There will be no tension. Also, your photographs will be WONDERFUL too, because you looked so breathtaking and were having such a great time.

We also offer state-of-the-art editing to images you choose from your package. All images that you select will be digitally edited to ensure the absolute best quality. Removal of blemishes, skin smoothing, color correction, exposure correction, sharpness brightness and contrast corrections are but just a few of the adjustments that can be made. This is a time consuming process (35-45 hours for most weddings), but makes a tremendous improvement to the final images. In addition, you will receive at least 5 special effects images (Vignette, Soft Focus, Selective Coloration, etc.) plus black and white conversion of selected images, all at no charge. Please click here for a small sample of the MANY different types of editing and special effects we can apply to your images.

See how it all "fits" together to result in a wonderful day and wonderful photographs? You really can't separate them!

In our opinion, the tender fabric of your life is sewn together with beautiful, emotional moments between you and your loved ones. We want to capture and express all those wonderful moments for you in your wedding images - and accomplish this without interfering with the emotions and romance of your wedding day.
