Abana Photography

Business Description

Amy and John- at your service! We are Amateur Photographers turning Professional. Just invested 15,000$ in Top of the line Digital Camera Gear. We'll be shooting with Canon's new MKII (8 mega Pixels),an arsenal of high speed canon "L" series zoom lenses (best glass on the market!), and have all the necessary backup gear. Amy loves covering Bride's personal time, while John is great at getting candids. Our style tends to be on the photojournalist side, but will include the normal formals. Not looking for real money, just expenses. 500 to 800 shots taken. We are doing 4 of these "Freebies", to develop our wedding style and to build our portfolio. We expect our rates will be in the thousands soon thereafter. We are fun, friendly, totally professional (and in Love)!
