About Spilker Portraits



When Spilker Portraits first opened its doors for business, I made a list of all the things I would change about traditional wedding and portrait photographers:

1. Sitting fees.
2. Expensive packages.
3. No copyright release.
4. Lack of flexibility.
5. Slow turnaround time.
6. Time limits.

Then I decided to throw out every one of them.

That’s why, at Spilker Portraits, you’ll find:

1. No sitting fees.
2. Incredibly affordable packages.
3. Copyright release with every photo.
4. Complete flexibility in wedding day planning and packages.
5. Senior portrait and engagement session CDs to take home with you and wedding DVDs when you return from your honeymoon.
6. No time limits on your wedding day—as long as the party rolls on, you’ll have photos of your very special last dance.


But there’s more to Spilker Portraits than just the business. As a child, I used to sneak into the library and pull books of photography from the shelves. I have always been inspired by Dorothea Lange’s ability to capture incredible emotions in the faces of her subjects and fascinated by Henri Cartier-Bresson’s ability to find that spectacular, elusive moment that other photographers seem to miss. Throw them both together, add a little wedding day creativity, and you’ll find a combination of romance, artistry and photojournalism that influences every DVD I create.

The very best way to know if Spilker Portraits is for you is to view the numerous photos on this website. If you like what you see, please set up an appointment to view wedding DVDs or prints. It’s very important to me that we’re right for one another before you make any deposit.

As always, Spilker Portraits is committed to the highest quality portraits at reasonable rates. I look forward to meeting you and adding your smiling face to these pages.
