Why Use Speaking Photography?

William Hurd's award-winning photography has captured the genuine beauty and wonder of many weddings. Combining traditional wedding photography with the trueness-to-life of candid photography, William is able to capture the tangible essence of the most important event in your life, preserving it for you, all of your guests and the future, in its most elegant form: a series of photographs.

Talent
As you might imagine, a wedding photographer needs to be more than an excellent photographer - he or she must also have a character conducive to socially comfortable environments in order to facilitate the classic and beautiful moments everyone wants captured. This is an art in itself and a rare skill to find in anyone, but it is also where William Hurd shines; he is extremely personable and capable of handling nearly any situation with ease and professionalism. On many occasion, he has been more than a fly on the wall of an event, but an active participant when need be to ensure that the day run as smoothly as possible.

Only One Best
Everyone's wedding deserves the best services a photographer can provide, which is why Speaking Photography, unlike other wedding photographers, offers only one 'package': The Entire Event*. For the entire day of the event - from the very beginning to the very end of all of the ceremonies - Speaking Photography will be present, photographing and immortalizing your special day.

Use of Technology
Speaking Photography uses a combination of digital and film (35mm and medium format) cameras. The digital photographs can be ready to review the same day, and are easily provided on a DVD slideshow. Generally, a week later the rest of the photos are ready to be reviewed, archived and printed.

What you'll receive when you hire Speaking Photography:

The rights to your wedding photos - many photographers retain all the rights to the photographs they take, charging a premium for prints and reprints no matter what size - Speaking Photography does not. You can make copies whenever you like, with any printer you like.

Album of Proofs - You'll recieve a handsome, leather-bound album of proofs. Additional albums are available at $25 above cost.

Your photos on CDs or DVD - for archival purposes and future prints, Speaking Photography will give you all photographs taken at the event.

Receive a slide show DVD - in addition to all this, Speaking Photography will create a slide show of your wedding highlights on a DVD that you may copy for all attendees as a thank-you, or particularly those unable to attend.

Videography - From a tri-pod during the ceremony, and hand-held during parts of the reception, Speaking Photography will video the most important parts of your wedding eliminating the need for a videographer.

*Weddings that span over two days or require more than 2 hours driving time are subject to reasonable additional charges
