Why choose Portrait Memories?

I know there are numerous choices for wedding photographers to select from, so why should you choose Portrait Memories?  Patient, easy-going, and fun are just some of the words that I've heard describe my wedding photo sessions.  Considering how stressful your wedding day can be, your photographs shouldn't be.

One thing you won't notice here is a lot of flash and animation on this website.  I assume my clients are a lot like me and it simply isn't worth their time to wait for a website to download.  My goal is to provide you with the information you need quickly and easily and get you on your way. 

bulletColor Management--learn how I manage the color of your senior or wedding portraits
bulletEngagement photo sessions are now included with all packages...in studio or outdoors with free on-line proofs.  Order at your convenience while sitting at your own computer.
bulletWedding portraits are saved in three different locations on the day of your wedding to insure that digital photos will not be lost.  Click here to read more...
bulletMaximum Quality--my goal is to offer a product that meets or exceeds your expectations.
bulletCommitment to Satisfaction--the first thing I learned is that photography is extremely "artsy".  I print the proofs and enlargements to what I like.  But, what I like may not be what you like.  That's why I am committed to your satisfaction.  I want my customers to inform me if anything about their portraits is not to their "artistic" liking. 
bulletDon't you owe it to yourself to investigate your photography options?  You won't regret the service, value, and patience you'll receive. Would it be worth it to you to receive very high quality wedding pictures and possibly save enough money to pay for  a lot of your honeymoon?  If this idea appeals to you, read on.
bulletThe proofs are in an album that you can keep.  Proofs are also be placed on-line and are password protected in order for family members to view and order.
bulletNO hidden costs.  All my prices are listed on the website for all to see and compare.  Photography is not a hobby to me, it is a growing second career.  I am able to keep my prices inexpensive because I do not depend on this income to feed my family.  Instead I use it to invest in top of the line cameras, lenses, software, and other equipment. 
bulletNO additional charge for multiple locations.  Outdoor pictures at a park or farm, no problem!
bulletNO set time limit.  I'm there to photograph your day from the wedding ceremony to the reception.  I don't pack up my equipment after four or six hours just because the limo was an hour late.  The hour late thing actually happened!
bulletTestimonials are further down on this page indicating how happy people are with their prints. 
bulletFiles of every picture taken can be purchased.  The CDs are printed on CD-ROMs and are accompanied by a signed copyright release agreement.  This document is critical when ordering prints.  Do NOT forget to take it with you!!
bulletWeddings should be fun!  My goal is to maintain a light-hearted atmosphere to reduce/eliminate as much stress as possible.  People laughing and having fun have a more natural smile.  It's that smile I'm after.
bulletEvery portrait is digitally enhanced with Photoshop CS3 to provide maximum quality and are then printed on top-of-the-line EPSON Photographic printers.  Proofs are 3-1/2" X 5" and are printed on Premium Semi-Gloss paper. 
bulletPortraits are printed with EPSON papers and inks with lightfastness ratings of between 64 and 104 years.  Epson has some of the best ratings for print life in the business.  Click here for more details.  Do many other photographers list the lightfastness of their prints?
bulletNew EPSON Ultrachrome K3 Ink used for most prints.  Click here for more details on the EPSON website.
bulletFamily members are allowed to take their own pictures assuming there is ample time to take my pictures and that they are taken after I am done with my shots.

Company Profile

My name is Kevin Maiers and I am the owner/operator of Portrait Memories.  I want to provide a service that fits into all budgets.  There are basic packages and packages that will provide prints for the entire family.  Don't forget about the videography special when you select your package.

After ten years of being an amateur photographer, I was asked to take some candid photos at a friend's wedding.  She enjoyed my photos so much that she used my images rather than the professional that she hired.  She showed her wedding photos around and my phone rang a couple more times.  These people showed off their proofs and my phone started ringing more.  I simply let my portraits speak for me.

I have been certified as a professional photographer with over fifteen years of experience.  I also have a BS degree in Business Administration and a Masters Degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Management.  So, I know the importance of being on time and ready to go.

I have had many, many satisfied customers and invite you to contact them for a reference.  Customer testimonials can be found above.
