Think Pink, Eat Pink


When a contest presents itself, especially one with good motive, we love to take part. These cupcakes were baked and decorated, and then photographed by me for a contest to help support Breast Cancer awareness! The host of the contest is donating .10 per entry towards breast cancer research. If you'd like to participate here is the link: Think Pink II

Trash the Dress Bridesmaids Edition

I love the idea of a "Trash the Dress" photoshoot on the beach. So I found a bridesmaid who was willing to trash her dress for the sake of a good photoshoot. The weather conditions were not as good as we would have liked, but we made the best of it! If you would like to do a TTD photoshoot, contact us and we can work out a price/time/location!

Updating

Currently Koontz Photography & Design is updating the way that we operate. With the new inclusion of web galleries, you no longer have to wait to see and share all of your images! But this presents a problem with our current contract and the way that we operate.

So we are going to be taking a look at the contract and the way that we do things, and updating it to suit our fast paced society and growing business! Please bear with us while we get everything reorganized to include this new feature to our site and our lives.

At the moment we wait until the Bride and Groom are back from their honeymoon to go over the proofs. They then select the images that they want edited and printed from their package, plus any extras that they want. At this time we collect the remainder of the fees due from the wedding package that was agreed upon in the contract. Then we spend time post processing each photo, and then we deliver the final product to the Bride and Groom. It's up to them to share the photos and get orders from their friends and family, which they then would have to contact us about, and get payment to us.

Now that we have the photo galleries it not only changes how fast you get to see the images, but it also means that we have to change the way that the final payment is made. It also means that you will be seeing mostly unedited photos, where the colors have not yet been corrected and blemishes have not yet been removed.

So bear with us while we are kicking up some dust and reorganizing the way we do things!

Congratulations Joy and Ryan! 07/07/07



We wanted to put together a quick slideshow of some of the best pictures from the wedding so that the bride and groom could see them right away.

The photos have not yet been color corrected
