Unlimited Images, Online Gallery, Downloadable Digital Negatives, Reprint Permission, USB drive

Refer FIVE brides (contract and retainer) to me and get your wedding photography for the cost of your retainer fee.

Referral credit: If you hire me to shoot your wedding and refer other brides to me, I'll give you a $100 credit on your wedding bill for each referral who pays me a retainer with contract. This offer is valid from the time I receive your deposit until your wedding day. Subsequent referrals who submit a retainer and contract for wedding photography will earn you a $100 credit toward future photo jobs. No cash back, only credit for referrals. So post your engagement photos on your MySpace and Facebook and spread the word. Refer FIVE brides (who pay retainer and sign contract) and I will wipe the balance on your wedding photography bill. Retainer fee to reserve the date is 20% of total booking. Don't wait. A retainer fee and contract is the only way to claim the current price, particularly if your wedding is in another year. Prices and services may change at any time.

WEDDINGS: My services are designed to serve clients at all budget levels starting at just $800 for full day coverage. Let me capture the moments of your day! $3,000 My above and beyond package that includes the maximum full service options listed below, plus a "trash the dress" or "bride and groom" shoot after the wedding. Also includes a professional video montage of the engagement shoot suitable for display at the reception, and a followup video montage of the wedding photos. The videos will be posted in your free online galleries as well as provided on your USB drive. See the video montage: SAMPLE HERE $2,000 My maximum full service option based on an all-inclusive FLAT FEE for the entire 8-12 hour wedding day (getting ready for both bride and groom, preformals, ceremony/formals, and reception).

Destination weddings will also have expenses for food, travel, etc. Please note that while the package prices may be different, the coverage remains the same. Full coverage of your entire day. No limits! All packages include freely downloadable images from your online gallery. Difference is that the less expensive packages include lower resolution downloads and do not include images on USB drive.

You may request an associate from among their galleries: ASSOCIATES PROCRASTINATOR SPECIAL If you are looking for a photographer the month of your wedding (Yikes!) Just give me a call to confirm my availability and make me an offer. Whether your original photographer is suddenly unavailable or the date just sneaked up on you, this is the only time I am more open to haggling over price and services. Digital negatives are defined here as full resolution edited .jpg images with minimum compression and highest quality available.

When comparing my galleries at http://ibd-designs.smugmug.com to those of other photographers, remember that what you see are entire photo jobs, not just selected samples. These galleries are truly indicative of the work I perform, the extent of my coverage and the quality of the images I provide. VENUES: I am comfortable working any location, indoors or out, church, chapel, hotel, ranch or backyard, day or night, hot or cold. I've even photographed poolside. Some of the better-known places I've photographed weddings include Sharp, Tarp, Thunderbird, Ashland Gardens, Bella Gardens, Kirkland, Summit Club, Golf Club of Oklahoma, Dresser Mansion, Arrow Springs, Ivory Gardens, Lansbrook Event Center, Walnut Creek, I Cross My Heart, Ovations Downtown, Five Oaks Lodge, Tulsa Historical Society Travis Mansion, Harwelden Mansion, Willowbrook Gardens, Rejoice Church (Owasso), Temple Baptist Church (Tecumseh), Oklahoma Aquarium, Methodist Church (Chandler), Chapel On Main, Prairie Song, Sacred Heart (Colwich), St. Mark's (Colwich), United Methodist (Ardmore), St. Benedict's (Broken Arrow), First Church of the Nazarene (OKC), Shartel Church of God (OKC), St. Patrick's (Broken Arrow).

I am a "photojournalistic" wedding photographer. This means I photograph all aspects of your event from start to finish. I have newspaper experience which means I focus on people doing things rather than static poses. I focus on being creative and developing artistic images from your wedding day with plenty of black and white, sepia and other effects as necessary to make your images really stand out.

I shoot it as I see it. Of course I shoot the traditional "formals" but I just ask you to please make a checklist and assign a friend to gather the necessary people together for me to achieve the shot. I will not be responsible for any "missed" shots during the formal photo session. If you want creative shots outside the happenings of your wedding please allow time for this or schedule a bridal or engagement shoot in advance. I've shot a lot of weddings and know what to expect, but I always welcome your ideas on doing things differently. After all, this is YOUR wedding! YOU are the boss. I also don't mind friends and family taking their own photos "over my shoulder."

I am passionate about my photography and take great pleasure in capturing special moments and making people look their very best. The brides who hire me to be their photographer are more concerned about quality and style of the images they receive rather than price or "byproducts" such as albums or prints. My customers expect a certain level of attention before, during and after their wedding and anticipate being treated as if theirs was the only wedding on my calendar. Brides who hire me are particular about their images and have absolute faith in my abilities. They know I am flexible and empathetic to their needs. And did I mention I do incredible engagement shoots? You will have a great time and the only problem you will have is deciding which image to have made into your free 20x30 posterframed print!

If I am already booked on your date, you can still hire me and select from among my associate freelance photographers to cover your wedding. All images would be processed by me and your contract would be with me. | Associate Photographer Samples | EQUIPMENT: I bring a minimum of two professional digital SLR cameras with professional lenses, flashes and battery packs. I have the necessary gear to make sure I am prepared for anything. Email me if you would like to learn more about the gear I bring to a shoot. I am constantly upgrading by equipment and researching ways of doing my job better. I attend seminars, network with other professional photographers and strive to make each shoot better than ever.

Retainer: I need a 20% nonrefundable retainer fee to hold your date for wedding photography. This is applied to your total bill. I accept checks to my PO Box, or credit cards using the PayPal button on my website. I must receive payment for your retainer within five mail delivery days of you hiring me unless we arrange otherwise. I must turn away other wedding inquiries because the date is "taken." After the five-day period has passed with no payment received, I will still keep you on my calendar but I will respond to other inquiries, stating the date is available. It is then a first-paid basis on who gets the date for their wedding. Balance is due at or before the wedding. Receipts in electronic PDF format will be emailed for all payments received. Contracts: I'll ask you to sign an agreement for photography services before we do anything. This gives me permission to photograph you and your event and releases me from liability. The contract describes services to be rendered and price. I do not post images of poor taste and will gladly remove or hide specific images from my website upon request of the client. Contracts are only valid upon receipt of retainer. I'll send you a copy of the signed contract with your receipt.

Transportation fee: This is subject to change, but generally there is no charge for events up to 50 miles from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Events 50-115 miles (one-way) from Tulsa (such as OKC) will have a $100 transportation fee. Events beyond 115 miles of Tulsa will include the $100 transportation fee plus an additional 55 cents per mile over 115 miles (based on maps.google.com from 74137 zip code). Events over 150 miles will also require a hotel reservation. If you want to hire me for events further away, please send a round-trip plane ticket in addition to the lodging fee. Destination weddings may include additional expenses per individual agreements.

Album: We live in the virtual age. You probably found me by searching the Internet and much of what you do is conducted online. As my client, you receive all your images in a free online gallery that never expires. This is your online virtual photo album. It can be turned into a slide show and can be shared with friends and family. You can even link images to your personal blog or online community. If you don't want all your images displayed in the "album" I can easily create custom galleries with just the special images you select.

If you still want a "printed" album, like a coffeetable or flushmount book, you might check out these links. Be aware that these are "do-it-yourself" sites where you select your images and upload over the Internet. I may add album design services in the future, but for now please consider the following or similar if you choose me to be your photographer.

ADD-ONS

If my second shooter is unable to attend the wedding at the last minute, I will be glad to refund the second shooter fee, but will not be held liable for any breach of contract. Additional expenses may apply to destination weddings.

These are samples of my work and shall not be considered a "catalog" of photography services. If your photos are posted here (whether you are the client or just a guest at the event) and you wish them removed, please contact me immediately as individual images can be "hidden" from public view.

 

DISCLAIMER: Wedding photography, unlike studio photography, has so many live variables that it is impossible to guarantee a perfect shot with every pose. While I make every effort to capture perfect images -- through the use of equipment and experience -- it is still possible that some photos may not turn out to your expectations. For this reason, no photo jobs will be refunded. If there is a problem, I will be happy to discuss alternatives, such as a subsequent portrait session. Wedding photos serve as an archive of the event. They are a way to preserve the memories. For this reason, I include both the great and the mundane images on the final archive. I shoot between 500 and 1500 or more images on average at each wedding depending on duration of the event. When viewing my site for samples of my work, please take into consideration I have included all photos, not just the very best. If I or my agent is unable to fulfill our onsite photographic obligations due to equipment malfunction, lost or stolen equipment (photographic or transportation), personal or family emergency or other events beyond our control, I and/or my agents are only liable for refund of any fees already paid by the client, and will arrange some alternative photo shoot at no cost. If I become incapacitated and am unable to shoot your wedding personally, I will absolutely make sure another professional photographer is at your event to fulfill my photographic obligations and this will cost you nothing extra.

ACCREDITED BUSINESS : BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU EASTERN OKLAHOMA

EXPERIENCE: More than 19 years newspaper and magazine and photography and graphic design. I am a member of the Sapulpa Chamber of Commerce, Sapulpa MainStreet, Professional Photographers of America, and the Better Business Bureau. I've had a camera in my hand since I was four years old (and I'll post a photo of that here soon), but I started doing wedding photography during my newspaper days and would often just shoot and hand the rolls over to the bride and groom. Later as digital technology became more advanced, I started small with senior and family portraits in 2004 and soon expanded to a few weddings. Everything really got rolling in 2006 as I got better equipment and began the machine that would become Danziger Photography, ibd-designs. Now I am shooting more weddings each year and adding to my portfolio of artistic images that capture the "moments" of the day. People seem to like my work and that gives me the inspiration to continue.

Here are some comments from clients:

My husband, Eric, and I were married on January 1st. We had an excellent experience with Ian as our photographer.

I have looked at a lot of Tulsa photographers, and Ian had the best price for what Eric and I were looking for. The unlimited time and digital copies were our selling point. He is very prompt about getting images available for viewing on his website. He was on time and the final products are wonderful. I have to say I like very few pictures of myself, but looking at the images he captured, I was so pleased. He has an eye for little moments, and he was so good about getting pictures of all our guests as well. We found him a pleasure to work with, and would recommend him to any friend. — Chelsea

My name is Kristi and I recently got married on December 15th. Ian Danziger was our photographer and we absolutely loved him. My husband and I were exactly the same way you are and wanted to make sure you get the best photographer for your event. There is not one thing that we can say bad about him. He was very easy to work with, extremely nice, great photographer, and he comes up with some wonderful ideas.

The other thing I really love about Ian is how well he communicated with me. I had actually talked to other photographers before him in the area and had troubles getting people to either email me back or even call me. I also didn't feel comfortable with them. That was not something I had to go through with him. Before the wedding we were actually emailing and calling each other almost everyday. After talking to him, I never once had doubts about him.

In my engagement pictures he took so many different styles. My husband is actually very shy and like things to be the same as others kind of person and I am the exact opposite. I am a very outgoing and like things to be different kind of person. So, before we met with Ian to take our engagement pictures I had asked him if we could take a few pictures to fit our personalities. Now, Ian and I had never met in person before and the ideas he came up with fit me to a T. He had Kyle (my husband) dress up in a full Santa Suit and me wear my normal clothes with a wedding veil on my head. It was the cutest thing because he made it look like I was telling Santa that all I wanted for Christmas was Kyle. You can actually click on my name on his website and see it if you would like. I did end up using that on our Christmas cards this year. He also took a lot of other pictures as well. They actually turned out better than I could ever dream. When I got to see the pictures of us on his website and then received the disk, I cried because they turned out so good. He really knows how to capture good pictures.

For the wedding, he had called me and asked what time I wanted him to be there. I told him a time and he was there. Then after the wedding he stayed even after my husband and I had left to take more pictures. It was great! Now that my wedding is over, I can look back over them and see exactly what happened, step-by-step. His pictures tell the story of my wedding day.

As you can see, we are very pleased with him and have nothing bad to say. He did everything I wanted and asked plus more. His ideas were wonderful and pictures turned out great. We have already decided to use him again in the future.

If you do decide to have him photograph your event, I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed. You will in the end be doing the same thing that I am doing now.

Hi, Ian, thank you so much for doing our wedding photography! I loved all the pictures, and everyone who has seen them so far has loved them as well. I was thinking about buying a couple of wedding albums and putting like 100 4x6s in them and giving one to both of our parents. It would be a very reasonable price, as your 4x6s cost $0.25 (unbelievable!!). Also, Ian, it is sad to say that sometime while we were at the hotel after the wedding, most of our wedding gifts were stolen out of our vehicle. We found out early Sunday morning and obviously this put a damper on our celebration. It was a pleasant surprise to check my email on Monday evening to find that our pictures were already online and available for viewing. — Kathryn and Milford

Hi Ian, Thank you very much again for everything - we could not have asked for a more friendly and professsional photog.
We will be referring you business - you are the best! — All the best, Chas. and Janette

Hi, my name is Sumer and I was writing you on behalf on Ian Danziger. I heard that you wanted to talk to some of his former customers. He was the photographer at my best friends wedding and was awesome!! My husband and I were trying to find someone to do our family pictures and decided to hire Ian. He was so creative with every shot and worked with us. We have two toddlers in our family and he was patient with them along with everyone else. He takes tons of pictures and when they are on his gallery and there are some you want to modify don't hesitate to ask. He is the best at modifying pictures. I ordered some modified pics that were amazing of my husband and son! I highly recommend Ian. Thanks, —Sumer

You definitely earned your money. They are all so good. I am going to refer lots of people to you. — Ryan

Dear Ian,

I am so sorry we received the photos last week and then all the closing, electricity out and all that I never got around to emailing you. YES the photos are beautiful. Thank you so much! We love them. You did a fabulous job! Merry Christmas!
—Sandra
