Carter Brookes is a key member of the Wedding Ministries photographic team and shares photographic duties with Judith.

Carter photographs weddings in a natural style with less direction on the part of the photographer. He helps people relax around the camera and captures those spontaneous moments when people are being themselves and looking their best.

His extensive experience in wedding photography assures clients that the photography will go easily and happily.

Each wedding is a unique and special event and photographing them is a very personal business for Carter. He loves working with people and brings a sense of respect, artistry, caring and fun to the weddings he photographs.

Carter began photographing weddings in the Napa Wine Country in 1992 and has made wedding photography his full time business since 1995. He has photographed over 400 weddings and regularly works at some of the premiere wedding locations in the Napa, Sonoma and San Francisco areas.

Carter photographs entirely in digital format, using Nikon digital cameras and lenses. This provides the wedding couple maximum flexibility in choosing color or black & white prints and in other post-wedding choices. Carter has backups of almost every piece of equipment and can switch seamlessly in the event of mechanical difficulty. Most importantly, he is so familiar with his cameras that using them are second nature to him and never distracts his attention from the photographic opportunities around him.

Products and Services Provided

1. Your entire event will be photographed with the latest professional quality Nikon digital cameras and lenses.

2. I will photograph your event from beginning to end, including natural, candid photography throughout your ceremony and the celebration afterwards. I will also take natural, flattering portraits of the bride and groom at various locations around the beautiful Hans Fahden property. I will take group and family photographs, too, if they are present.

3. You will receive 75 to 150 edited color and black & white photographs, depending on the number of guests at your wedding. The 4X6 size prints, mounted in a professional quality preview album, are yours to keep. The preview album will be delivered within six to eight weeks of your wedding date. Enlargements and wedding albums are priced separately and may be ordered directly from me at a time of your choosing.

4. An optional Internet posting service is available which allows your friends and family to enjoy your event without having your preview album in hand. The Internet option also provides convenient and secure ordering of reprints and enlargements for you and your friends and families. This service is not included in your basic photographic package. Please contact me directly to view sample weddings posted with this service and for more information and pricing.

5. In combination with the Internet posting, or by itself, a CD with the high-resolution images from your wedding is available for purchase.

6. I am pleased to provide you complete service before and after your wedding. I am available to answer your questions, to assist with ordering prints or with the creation of a wedding album and to assure your complete satisfaction.
