We, Surreal Image Studios, are Maggie Puccini & Kristin Puccini Young. (Nice to meet you.) In late 2008, we started a process that would change our lives for good. Hopefully yours too.

With many years of photography experience (25+ for Maggie, 10 for Kristin) under our belts, we knew we could make a much more significant impact working together in photography. For a while, we weren't sure what that would mean.

However, after a few family weddings of our own, we found that wedding photography had grown much closer to our hearts than any other. At that point our direction was clear and Surreal Image Studios was breathed into being.

Rarely do mothers and daughters get the opportunity to work together, let alone build a creative business together. We were lucky enough to bring our long time dream of creating a wedding photography boutique to life. And we feel pretty blessed.

We love your packages and your portfolio. Everything sounds fantastic, but tell me what sets you apart from all the other photographers out there?

Living the wedding experience ourselves taught us to photograph in a different way: with empathy.

Our expertise is creating images of the bride the way the groom sees her on her wedding day, and images of the groom through the eyes of the bride. We want you both to fall in love with each other all over again every time you look at them. They will remind you of the love you feel for each other and allow you to relive the beauty of your day and the excitement of starting your new life together.

Every time we've gone through a wedding we've become friends with the couple in the process. We are sure the same will be true with you, so since we're about to be friends you should know: we take really good care of our friends.

Since we're a boutique studio (not an agency) we know every client by name and we also restrict the number of couples we work with each year so that we are able to give you the special treatment you deserve.

Sounds wonderful, but it also sounds expensive. Are we going to be able to afford this?

Yes! We have wedding offerings starting at $2200.00, and of course, we also offer VIP packages that go up into the several thousands. It all depends on the investment you want to make in yourself and your wedding.

As one of the few lasting elements of your wedding day, your wedding imagery is truly a long term investment in your family heritage. By "your family"...we mean the one you begin on your wedding day.

Who do you work best with?

In general we are a great fit for those who appreciate our line of unique products and high level of service that you can't get with most small businesses.

Our brides like fun, relaxed sessions with beautiful, and natural yet glamorous results. They have a good sense of humor and enjoy working with other people who do too .

The best indicator of who will be a great fit for us is our consultation - brides who like us and feel comfortable around us will have the best images.

Who is not going to benefit as much from your services if they hire you?

Any brides who meet us and don't feel like we're a good personality fit won't get the full benefit of our services, because they may not feel as comfortable. Though the images we create will still be correct in terms of lighting and composition, good chemistry between us is important for natural lovely images.

No photographer is a perfect fit for everyone, we know this and want every bride to find someone who is right for them and their wedding day. Even if that means we don't get to work together.

Will you have a second shooter?

Yes. Your wedding, and every wedding we do will always have two photographers : Kristin & Maggie.

Do you have backup equipment?

Yes. We carry backup cameras, batteries, flashes etc. If a wedding vendor you are considering does not have backup plans in place, for the sake of your wedding...run.

Will you work well with the other vendors I've hired?

Absolutely. We are very friendly and easy-going by nature, but we go out of our way to make sure things go smoothly for your weddings. We like to meet and/or talk to your other vendors, even if only briefly before the wedding to make sure we're all on the same page.

Do you take credit cards? Can I get a payment plan?

Yes, we are happy to create an invoice for you that you can pay online by credit card. We offer custom payment plans on request

Do you take more than one wedding per day?

No. As we mentioned above, we limit the number of weddings we do and would never consider two weddings in one day. In fact, it would be an extremely rare exception for us to take two weddings in a weekend.

our images will be at their best when we're at our best. We're not willing to sacrifice quality in favor of quantity.

This sounds like everything we've been looking for, what's next?

The next step is for you to email us to set up your complimentary "get aquainted" consultation.

This is where we meet with you, your fiance' (and any family who'd like to come with you). It's a very informal, no obligations kind of thing. We don't do high pressure, so just come planning to have a cup of coffee and talk about your wedding. We'll also bring book, album and print samples for you to "ooh & ahh" over. The point of the meeting is just to figure out how we can best work together for your wedding.

Where can I get information from some of your other brides?

Right from the source: read our Bride Testimonials.

Can I get in touch with you to ask more questions?

Of course! Email Kristin or Maggie with any questions - we'd love to talk to you!
