Dear Bride To Be, Thank you for checking out this website. And congratulations on your engagement! How exciting and romantic! Now, let's guarantee you have a fantastic and romantic wedding day - full of love, emotion and beauty! (Believe it or not, that does take some planning!) This webpage is not for every Bride To Be… is it for you? If you are looking to have an "average" wedding - one that is stressful and not very organized, one where the guests hardly get to see you, one where you are so exhausted that you can hardly smile. One where it seems like you're constantly putting out "fires" and solving emergencies. One where "so many things just went wrong"… Then this webpage is not for you. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Please read no further. But… …if you're a bride who wants her wedding to be PERFECT, and the most romantic, beautiful and emotional day of your life; if you want to enjoy every minute of your day; if you want to be the most ravishingly beautiful bride your friends and relatives have ever seen; if you want to spend wonderful, quality time with your guests; if you want to remember with happy tears in your eyes all the love, emotion and joys of the day… Then this is going to be the most exciting website you have ever gone to - Really! My name is Art Sundquist, and I LOVE weddings! I've been photographing them for 17 years. I love capturing the emotion and romance of weddings. 
"Just a short note of thanks for the outstanding job you did on Jenny's wedding. We were so
pleased, not only with the beautiful photographs, but also wih the
professional style with which those shots were taken. We will keep recommending you to friends."

This means you want to be the most beautiful bride anywhere. You want your wedding to be a wonderfully emotional and romantic day. You want to have everything go smoothly and perfectly, You want to have a great time. You want to see all your guests, and have them also have a fun time. Well, here's how to do it: Here's 6 Secrets To Having The Wedding Of Your Dreams! SECRET #1: How To Guarantee Your Wedding Lives Up To Your Dreams. Believe it or not, the photographer you select to photograph your wedding can make or break your wedding day. Yes, I kid you not, your wedding day - not just your photographs! Why? Because he's there with you all day, in person, interacting with you, your family and guests, and representing you every minute. Now, HONESTLY, we're not just talking about photography here - we're talking about YOUR WEDDING - how YOU FEEL on your wedding day, and how smoothly and romantically everything goes. You see, your photographer helps to determines this, by the way he helps you plan your wedding, the way he treats you and your loved ones, and the way he conducts himself throughout the day. So here's the secret: Meet the photographer - IN PERSON - before you hire anyone to photograph your wedding! Most brides don't realize that many studios hire part time photographers to photograph their weddings for them - high school and college kids, friends, relatives, etc. This means that you go to a studio, talk with a salesperson, look at their samples, and make a decision - without really knowing who will be photographing your wedding! And if it's not just the right person doing the photography, and interacting with all your family and guests, everything can be ruined! So, when you're talking with a potential studio, ask them the following questions:
Then, when you meet this person, ask him or her the following questions:
Then, decide if you REALLY LIKE HIM, as well as his work! Because he's going to be spending a lot of time with you and your family and friends, on your important day. He needs to be someone you enjoy being around. By the way, just so you know, here's my answers to those questions: I'm the ONLY photographer at my studio. I will be photographing your wedding personally. I will dress in a nice suit (NOT A TUX, AND NOT JUST SLACKS AND A SHIRT! I don't want to take anything away from your groom and groomsmen and the fathers, and I also don't want to dress casually, and not represent you professionally.) I have been photographing weddings, as I mentioned earlier, for 17 years! I'll be at your wedding until you, your new husband, your parents, and your husband's parents all say they have nothing else for me to do. I NEVER will leave your wedding without checking with all of the above people! I use no checklist. Instead, I learn the names and relationships of all the members of your wedding party, and both families! I refer to them by name, and I know their relationship to you, so I can be constantly watching for those special, magical and spontaneous moments that will be so meaningful to you to have photographs of! (See Secret #5 below for more on this.) 
"Art did an
amazing job of portraying the relationships our daughter has with so many
people. And I was amazed at how many
images we got in the bride’s album. Don't select a photographer for your wedding until you visit with Art."

Here's a really big "secret" that almost no brides think about when interviewing a potential photographer: What's their guarantee? What happens if you aren't happy with the photography, or the way you and your friends were treated, or if the photographer left your wedding before he was supposed to, etc. This is of the utmost importance! The guarantee (make sure it's in writing!) tells you just how committed they are going to be in taking good care of you, and doing a great job. And, just so you know, here's my IRON CLAD, 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE: You will be THRILLED (not just 'satisfied') with how we represented you and your family at your wedding, and also THRILLED with your photographs, or we will do whatever necessary to have you be THRILLED with them, or we will return ALL YOUR MONEY. Period. No hard feelings either. We want you to LOVE everything we do for you! You see, we understand that you can't do this over again. This is a "one-time-thing" and everything MUST be perfect! You have our written guarantee that we'll take really good care of you! AND, OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS GUARANTEED FOR LIFE! That means that if anything ever happens to your photographs, albums, or wall portraits, for any reason, I will replace them at no charge to you! A True Story Of A Bride And Groom, And What It Means For You. Let me take a moment to tell you a true story. A few months ago, I received a phone call from a woman whose wedding I had photographed about seven years before. Here's what she said, "Art, I just wanted to call you and tell you that I was having my bridal portrait re-framed, and it was severely damaged in the process. Is there anything you can do to help me?" I said, "Oh, Sharon, I'm so sorry. But here’s what I’ll do. I will get out your file and have the portrait reprinted and finished for you." I replaced the portrait for her (no charge), and she was thrilled! You see, I want you to have complete peace of mind about your photography. SECRET #3: An Important Warning: Miss This, And A Disaster Could Happen At Your Wedding! This seems so obvious, and yet brides miss this one all the time, and pay a BIG PRICE for it after their wedding! Be sure the photographer has lots of happy brides and grooms, who have written him and told him how happy they were with both him, and his work! We're talking TESTIMONIALS here! From real people, with their full names, and their city and state, so you can call them if you want to, just to "check them out" and make sure that they really said what the photographer says they said. (That's a hard sentence to read, but you get the point! Sorry!) I'm sorry to be so skeptical, but we live in a time in history when you have to be really careful to be certain that people are telling you the truth. You will notice that throughout this webpage are photographs and testimonials from some of the brides and grooms whom we have been honored to work with on their wedding day. Also notice that their FULL names, city and state are listed, so, if you really wanted to, you could look them up in the phone book, and call them. 
"It is easy to appreciate Art's great talent as a photographer after two daughters' weddings. He managed to find just
the right settings and expressions for all our special memories. His great passion is evidenced by his truly amazing work." CLICK ON PHOTOGRAPH TO SEE LARGER VERSION. SECRET #4: A Magic Way To Have A Great Wedding. One of the things that you really want to look for in your photographer, is someone who is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER! An artistic photographer whose images combine to tell the EMOTIONAL STORY of your family, your friends, and your wedding day. This is really important, if you are looking for photographs which will be PRICELESS to you for years and years to come! And here's why this is so important! If an artist is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, there's a really good chance that he will be compassionate about not ruining the romance, beauty and emotions of your day. You see, only a true romantic can truly understand how important this day is to you, and how perfectly you want it to go. And a true romantic will be sensitive to NOT INTERFERING WITH THE EMOTIONAL ROMANTIC FLOW OF YOUR DAY! I could tell you so many horror stories here. But let me just mention one so you understand how important this is. Not long ago, I heard about a photographer who was hiding behind some flowers up at the altar (something that I will NEVER do!) and he dropped a lens on the marble floor with a huge crash, and then swore out loud so loud that everyone heard it! (He obviously wasn't a romantic EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER or he wouldn't have ruined the romance and religious significance of the ceremony by hiding behind flowers where everyone could see him come and go - and, of course, there is NO excuse for profanity!) So, looking for a romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, who will beautifully tell the story of your love for each other, and for your family and friends, will also result in someone who will respect you and your wishes, and conduct himself in only the most professional and friendly way, because he understands in the most intimate way, the importance of the "Story of Your Wedding Day." And, by the way, my brides tell me that they really love the way I emotionally tell the story of their wedding day. A HUGE POINT FOR BRIDES-TO-BE: The Magic Of "E.F.P" On Your Wedding Day! You see, I don't really look at it as "wedding photography," but rather as "Emotional Family Photography created on your wedding day!" It's all the emotions, relationships and personalities of all your friends and relatives, captured in beautiful images for you and your family to cherish for the rest of your lives. After all, isn't that what you really want? "E.F.P." is one of the major things that separates me from all the other wedding photographers in the area. I want to capture the love, relationships, personalities, and emotions of all your family and friends for you to enjoy and view with happy tears in your eyes for years and years to come! Aren't The People and The Emotions Of Your Life What Matter The Most To You? Because it's the PEOPLE and the EMOTIONS of your life that are so valuable to you. Yes, you'll also see the beautiful dresses and flowers. Yes, you'll see the lovely ceremony, etc. But more, much more than that. You'll feel the emotions that you and your fiancée feel toward each other and toward your best friends and family members on this magical day. Yes, FEEL them each time you view your photographs. That's what I am driven to do for you! You see, you want photography that "speaks" to you with love, emotion, respect, and the glorious feelings you will be feeling on your wedding day. You want your photography to "tell the story" of your wedding day, AND your families and friends. I want you to cry when you see the photographs! Cry tears of happiness, because in those photographs are all the people you and your husband love and care about - showing their real personalities and emotions like you never dreamed they would! Most photographers just want to get home before midnight, or hurry to the next wedding they are photographing. Don't Miss The "Emotional Moments" Of Your Day Because Your Photographer Didn't Have The Vision To See And Capture Them In A Sensitive, Romantic Way! Your day will be filled with beautiful "Emotional Moments" that you will never experience again in your life. Those "Moments" are what I am driven to capture for you. Here's just three examples: NEW! As a father myself, I can assure you that one of the most emotional moments in a dad's life is when he "gives his little girl away" at the beginning of your ceremony. Your dad will never forget it. But now, there's something full of emotional magic that you can give your dad when he gives you away! At that very powerful moment in his and your life, you hand him a surprise "Father's Pride" that he carries with him back to the pew, and as he reads your personal message to him, and looks at the beautiful photograph of you in your wedding gown, he begins to cry with tears of joy and love! He will be so moved and touched! You and he will never forget it! Don't miss that moment! The Magic Moment When The Love Of Your Life First Sees You! Or the incredible moment when your fiancé first sees you in your wedding gown - perfect in every way - with your lovely flowers, the beautiful veil and headpiece - everything which you selected specifically for him - as the tears swell up in his eyes, and he tells you how very much he loves and adores you. Don't miss that moment! A Magic Moment With Grandma Or, if you are lucky enough to still have a living grandmother, the lovely moment when she reaches up and puts her arms around you, and with tears in her eyes, tells you how beautiful you look and how much she loves you, and how proud she is of you. Don't miss that moment! I could go on and on. Your entire day will be made up of brief, priceless moments like these. Let's make sure first of all that your day is so beautifully organized and planned that these moments truly can happen, and then let's help you to be so stress free, but excited, that you can enjoy and remember these wonderful, magical moments for the rest of your life. How do we do that? I'll bet you think I'm going to say that you do this through the photography. Right? Wrong! The way we help these moments happen, and help you remember them, is to help you have a wonderful, romantic and emotional day! A day where everything goes perfectly. As long as we do that, the rest will take care of itself! That's what I will do for you. Oh, if you ever talk with a photographer who says this to you, run away as fast as you can! If he says, "Your photographs are all you will have after the wedding is over. Your flowers will be dead, your cake will be eaten, etc. - but you'll have your photographs! They are the most important thing about your wedding!" - then he's NOT the photographer for you! Why not? Because if he says that, he has a completely false impression of his importance, and will try to run your day and take charge! Don't let that happen! Because the photographs ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING - the romance, emotions and relationships are the most important thing! SECRET #5: What is the One Thing that Your Photographer Should Do that makes All The Difference? Your photographer should take the time to get to know you. This is so important! Only a photographer who gets to really know you, will know what is important to you, your likes, your dislikes, what is it that is most important to you about your wedding day. When you hire me to photograph your wedding, we will have many opportunities to get together, and get to know each other. From the initial meeting, planning sessions, the engagement session, and the bridal portrait session, I will get to know you, and just as important, you will get to know me. You will be completely relaxed and comfortable, and it will really show in the photographs. Here's something else that I love to do, that will help me to know not just you and your fiancé, but everyone else in your wedding party. Before the wedding, I will learn all of the names of your bridesmaids, groomsmen, ring bearer, flower girl, parents, brothers and sisters, and all of their relationships to you. This way, when I arrive at the wedding, I can refer to people by name, instead of "hey you in the black suit". In a way, I become part of the "family", and it really makes things go much more smoothly than if I just showed up "cold." A few weeks ago, when I was doing some photographs of a bride and her bridesmaids, one of the girls looked at me in astonishment, and said, "How do you know all of our names?" She really did! I just told her it was my job to know them. You know, this approach really makes the wedding more fun for me, too! So ask your photographer if he will learn all of your names and relationships, before the day of your wedding. Because really, this all works together with everything else I do at the wedding. If your photographer won't take the time to do this, he just won't be aware of everything that is going on between you and your family and friends. He's just won't have the sensitivity and enthusiasm and love for what he does to be able to capture those moments and feelings. SECRET #6: How To Be Assured That You Will Be The Most Beautiful Bride Your Friends Or Relatives Have Ever Seen! You deserve to have a wedding day where you are the most beautiful bride any of your friends or relatives have ever seen. That's the dream of every girl when she begins visualizing her wedding day. And you deserve to have that! Let's see to it that is exactly what happens! How? Simple.Yes, you will select the perfect dress, headpiece, veil, flowers, shoes, etc. Yes, you will have your hair and make up done. But it goes much deeper than that. You see, beauty is also in the way you FEEL on your wedding day. The way your emotions show on your face, and the way you glow when you walk down the aisle and look in the eyes of the love of your life. Many of my brides will understand this when I say it: When you hire me to photograph your wedding, you're really paying for me to be there. To take all the pressures and tensions out of the day for you. You know that I am there, and that I truly care about you, and will help you with EVERYTHING so the day goes perfectly. That's really what my brides are paying me for. The photographs are free. They're just an added "bonus!" You see, if you, your husband, and your family and guests are all having a wonderful time, you will be more beautiful than you have even dreamed you would be. Because there will be no tension there. And, by the way, your photographs will be WONDERFUL, too, because you looked so wonderful and were having such a great time. See how it all "fits" together to result in a wonderful day, and wonderful photographs? You really can't separate them! You see how "Emotional Family Photography" can make your wedding volumes absolutely PRICELESS? In my humble opinion, the tender fabric of your life is sewn together with beautiful, emotional moments between you and your loved ones, and I want to capture and express all those wonderful moments for you in your wedding volumes - and accomplish this without interfering with the emotions and romance of your wedding day.
