These photographs reflect the time spent together during 
their courtship and showing the love they have for each 
other.   These photographs are again combined with 
emotional music and follows Part I.  The length of these 
presentations are determined by the length of one or 
two musical selections and average between 3 and 9 
minutes.    
     How do I put this together?  Using two slide projectors, 
a dissolve unit and a large professional portable screen.

     One of the most enjoyable services I provide my wedding clients is a 
"Reflections" slide presentation.  The world known, Charles Lewis, from 
Michigan, originated the Reflections concept, and now many other 
photographers across the nation are now presenting this same kind of 
multimedia show.  However, I've been doing it for thirteen years now.

     Exactly what is a Reflections slide presentation?  It is a combination 
of images, of both the prospective bride and groom, that reflect the couples 
lives prior to their wedding.  They usually start with the baby snapshots 
and combined with the engagement photographs.  They are combined with 
some very emotional music to create one of the most powerful presentations 
you could possibly have hoped for--especially for the captive audience at 
the wedding reception.

     My Reflections presentation come in two parts.  Part I - is of the couples 
growing up photographs, capped off with the engagement photograph.  Again, 
combined with music and presented at the reception as a surprise, not only 
to the guest but to the parents as well.  Part II - are what I call, Hallmark 
style photographs taken months prior to the wedding.  Usually, I take the 
couple to a couple of different locations, one is almost always a beach, and 
includes at least 3 different changes in clothing.

of photographs, via signals, programmed with the music.  The Reflection concept 
is one of my most rewarding part of the wedding day.  Probably because I consider 
myself an emotional type person.  I love emotion and photographing weddings 
is the perfect outlet!

Reflections are included in the higher priced packages at no extra charge.
