Unlimited images (3 hours), photos on High-Resolution CD-ROM, and your choice of photos in a custom designed 8x8 keepsake photo album to commemorate your special day.

Allow one week to 10 days for completion of editing.
Times may vary for weddings and art photography.

I accept cash, or credit card via my website www.CynthiaDawnArtist.com. PayPal payment (via website),

A separate date will be set up to view the photos, to make selections for custom 8x8 keepsake album, and make any other purchase:
additional albums, custom cartoon video announcement A Cynthia Dawn exclusive, or hand painted portrait - your choice of photo from session.

Reception Photography Tip: A lot of couples like the idea of purchasing disposable cameras (I have found these at most large party supply stores, CVS, or Rite Aid), to put on all the guest tables at the reception. At the end of the night, someone collects the cameras, gets the photos printed, and voila! You end up with a lot of photos from different points of view. So creative! I even did this at my wedding, back in 1996.

Videos don't have to take a million years to make, but to insure the quality of ANY art I create, I do ask for a reasonable amount of time to complete it. Once we discuss theme, photos, etc... I will have an idea on how much time I will need.
