Portraits : Why go to the mall or some department store to have a "Family Photo" taken?  We believe in making everyone feel as comfortable as possible.  Wouldn't it make more sense to shoot your portrait in an environment of your choice?  For example, if you like to read, let's take your picture in your library with your favorite book.  But if it's a studio you want, we have that too!

Architecture : OdellPhotos also documents building and interior design in the home and business.  We have some samples of the work completed on some past jobs for you to view.  If there’s an angle or example of something specific you would like to see a sample of, please e-mail me and I can check my files for a photograph to suit your needs.  Some of the work you will see here is from the “Home of the Week” feature for our newspaper the others are freelance jobs.  This is a quickly growing area for us and there should be a lot of activity in this category in the next few months.  We have a few long term contracts that should provide some great examples to show future clients!  So please come back and see what we can do with a building and a few rooms.

Wedding : In this area you will find photographs from some of our most recent weddings.  Please be patient.  Depending on the speed of your connection, the images will take a little while to appear.  We’ve only scanned in a few from each wedding to give you an idea of our style of shooting.

We enjoy the art of capturing moments and documenting events. My style of shooting is different from wedding photographers that you may be accustomed to seeing.  We believe that, like people, every wedding is unique and cannot be factory produced into the same routine weekend after weekend.  Trained as a Photojournalist, I prefer to blend into the background and capture memories as they occur.  We do not wish to be the center of attention or obtrusive in any manner.

We do understand that everyone would like some posed photographs. After all, how often is everyone dressed to the hilt and together all at one time? So we do take family and group pictures while we have everyone together, usually immediately following the ceremony. To help with this task, we have a check list to give you an idea of some of those "standard" wedding photos.

OdellPhotos is truly a family business. My wife Leslee, is my assistant and I've found her to be a valued asset.  She helps with organizing and arranging everyone, which gives me the freedom to concentrate on composition and the technical aspects of photography.  Leslee will also make sure that every posed shot you request gets taken.  She will ensure that no bang is out of place, lipstick smeared or slip hanging out.  She is also our wedding album designer and assembler. 

I am proud of the work OdellPhotos has done thus far and feel confident that we can help capture the special memories, which will resonate from your wedding day.

OdellPhotos.
