Feel free to visit Aiken Bridal and Portrait Photography's website for more information and to view sample galleries.

First and foremost, thanks for taking the time to visit this blog.  It would be a privilege to be your photographer.

Guided by the our Code of Ethics and the Golden Rule, we strive to exceed expectations. Accordingly, you can expect to be treated as if you were our only customer before, during, and after your session. We have two primary goals:

• Create long-lasting relationships with our clients
• Capture moments that will be cherished for a lifetime

Relationships are fostered by getting to know one another at a pre-event meeting held at a time and place of your choosing, typically your home. This puts everyone at ease, while helping to reduce or eliminate time constraints. Prior to these sessions, you are encouraged to jot down any ideas, special needs, concerns or questions that you may have.

Other than weddings and certain events that normally occur indoors, most of our photography is done outdoors for added realism, depth and warmth. Outdoor sessions are typically held early in the day or late in the afternoon when lighting conditions are at their best. The Aiken & Augusta area has a number of excellent locations from which to choose, although you may have your own preference, including your home, vacation home, the beach or mountains. We are willing to travel nearly anywhere to accommodate your needs.

ABPP does not participate in nude or highly suggestive photography; otherwise there are no artificial constraints or boundaries. You are encouraged to include family, friends, pets, musical instruments, sporting gear, cars, motorcycles, or nearly anything that helps define you or make you comfortable. If you want differing styles by changing clothes a number of times, we’re fine with that, too. The bottom line is that we are here to serve you.

Your package will generally include a pre-determined number of prints, and additional prints will be made available based on our standard price list. Depending on the service being purchased, you may also receive a CD or DVD containing the edited digital images, along with a release form that allows you to have prints made at a variety of retail locations.
