Photographers
Jean Kiner - Jean's photography career started in high school, as the photographer for her high school newspaper. After working and photographing in Yellowstone for 2 summers, she realized her calling and enrolled in Columbia College that fall. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art Photography from Columbia College in 1984. Jean started shooting weddings on her own, and then photographed for Edward Fox from 1991 - 1999. Jean is now married raising 2 young girls (8 & 10).
Jim Postilion - Jim learned the technical aspects of photography from his father (Joseph P. Postilion) who, back in the 1970's, developed his own in-house system for producing 4-color separations for printing. Jim did not pursue photography professionally until 1995, when Jean encouraged him to enter the Edward Fox training program for wedding photography. Jim worked for Edward Fox from 1995-1999 while at the same time operated a software development business during the week. Jim still owns / operates that software development business during the week.
Jim and Jean -In 2000, Jim approached Jean about working together as a team. On August 12, 2000, Jim and Jean photographed their 1st wedding for Reyna and Edgar together. The results far exceeded expectations. Now they are working together permanently under the name "Postilion-Kiner Photography" (previously "Postilion Photography"). Examples of more recent work can be seen in their Photo Gallery.

Photography
Emphasis on Photojournalism - We thrive on capturing those totally unexpected moments that can not be foreseen or planned. We enjoy it when you bring close relatives and friends together in the same place - creating a mixing pot of opportunity. We especially enjoy it when children are involved, as they are totally unpredictable. As seen in our Photo Gallery, we like to incorporate small details and the environment into our photojournalism.
Love for Creativity - We love to be creative and are constantly looking for new ways to improve ourselves. Wedding photography can, and we believe should be the perfect medium for creativity. We believe each wedding is a unique set of photographic opportunities to act upon. This keeps the work fun, and provides you with a spontaneous, unexpected, record of the day.
Importance of a Second Photographer - Un-staged, candid moments can happen at any time during the day. To capture them, it is important that at least one photographer be dedicated to photo-journalism. These photographs require NO extra time on your part. The resulting unique, un-staged, un-posed photographs will strike close to your heart, as they portray the "real" story and emotion behind your wedding. Other advantages of having two (2) photographers include: 1) The ability to cover different locations simultaneously 2) The ability to cover the same event from different angles. 3) The ability to cover an event in B/W and Color simultaneously.
Importance of Posed Photographs and Allowing Time - We believe each wedding location provides its own unique set of artistic and romantic opportunities. We enjoy exploring these possibilities with you, not to mention capturing your family portraits and creating a historic record. Since these photographs DO require a time commitment on your part, we recommend allocating as much time as you are comfortable with, prior to the wedding. The bi-product of having your friends and family all together in one spot for formal photographs is having additional time for photo-journalism. In fact, it's during this time that most of the best candid opportunities present themselves.
Unbundling of Products / Services - We offer an "ala-carte" menu of products and services. Prices are based upon the time & cost of materials for each item - time being the most significant factor. You may pick and choose what you want using our Design a Package Form.
Turn Over of Digital Files - To insure the longevity and permanence of your historic record, we include a digital file of every picture taken on CD-Rom with every package.
Our #1 Priority is Your Final Wedding Album / Web Post - As with most creative people, we are very critical of ourselves and our work. We go over every detail in every image with a fine tooth comb. From shooting, to editing, to layout, to presentation, our pride and satisfaction is based on producing a high quality end-product - your final wedding album and web post. We want your friends and family to see them and feel inspired to contact us for their wedding photography. We believe this is the best sales tool of all. We hope your final end-products greatly exceed your expectations.

[Brochure] [Order Forms] [Contract]
Wedding Day Coverage
How many hours of coverage will we need? - Usually 10 hours is required to capture all aspects of the wedding. This usually means starting 3-4 hours before the ceremony and ending 3-4 hours into the reception. Most couples allocate an extra hour for outdoor environmental photographs between the ceremony and reception, or they give up part of their cocktail hour.
Equipment
What cameras do you typically use / bring with you? - We carry 6 Canon / Nikon camera bodies with us for backup. We can achieve the same results with any professional camera. If you have an equipment bias, we would be happy to rent that equipment for your wedding, at your cost.
Digital Issues
Do you shoot digitally or use film? - We can achieve the same results with either. If you must have film, there is an extra $100 per hour charge - in which case you will get to keep the negatives.
Payment Schedule
How much will we be required to pay and when? - You will be required to make 2 or 3 payments as follows...
1) Initial deposit ($500.00) at contract inception - to reserve your wedding date. 2) 2nd payment - due 2 weeks prior to your wedding. This payment will include all expenses relating to the "Level of Coverage". 3) Final payment - due when placing final album and reprint orders. Final amount will depend on the hard copy "Wedding Albums", "Parent Albums", "Wall Photographs", "Storyboards", "Reprints", and "Digital Files" you order, if any.
Post-Wedding Day Timing
When will we get our CD-Rom? - Our contract states 8-12 weeks.
How long will it take to get our hard copy wedding album? - Our contract states 90-120 days from the date we complete your wedding album design. Please add 30 extra days (120-150) for a library bound "Capri" wedding album.
How long will it take to get our hard copy parent albums and reorders? - Our contract states 90-120 days from the date we receive your final order and all corresponding payments. Please add 30 extra days (120-150) for library bound "Capri" parent albums.
Is there a time-limit for getting our final order to you? - Our contract states that you have 90 days from the date you get your CD-Rom. If you take longer than 1 year to place a final order, we may...
22
1) Reject your final order and give you the "raw" digital files instead; or... 2) Accept your final order at our "then current price" rates.
Hard Copy Previews
Can we get Hard Copy Previews? - Yes, here are some suggestions...
1) Request them from us ($1,000) 2) Bring your CD-Rom to a retail digital photo finisher such as Walgreens and ask for 1 copy of each file. 3) Purchase Reprints of only those photographs you need.
Hard Copy Wedding Album Issues
Do we have to order a hard copy wedding album? - No. There are many sources now on the Web for wedding albums including the same brands / manufacturers we use - Art Leather Albums at 1stProWeddingAlbums.zoovy.com for example. If you are a creative / artistic person, or if you have some one else in mind that is, you are free to explore this alternative.
How do you determine what pictures go into our hard copy wedding album? - We recommend that you provide us input as follows...
1) Select 2 categories of photographs: "Must Have" (No more than 75% of maximum) and "Can Live Without" (any number you desire). 2) Let us post your "proposed" layout to our Photo Gallery which will include your choices plus some of ours. 3) You meet with us and make changes from there.
We contracted for a 30-page hard copy Wedding Album. How many 8x10's, 5x7's, and 3x5's. will that include? - The exact number of photographs and sizes will vary depending on your final design. Typically, smaller hard copy albums contain less enlargements (5x7's and 8x10's) than larger ones. Also, longer hours of coverage resulting in more photographic selections will tend to reduce the number of enlargements also.
We contracted for a 30-page hard copy album. What if we want more pages than that? - You can add as many pages and/or photographs as you like. They will be charged at our "then current price" rate.
Reorders
