...if you're a bride who wants her wedding to be perfect,
and the most romantic, beautiful and emotional day of your life;
if you want to enjoy every minute of your day; if you want
to be the most ravishingly beautiful bride your friends and relatives
have ever seen; if you want to spend wonderful, quality
time with your guests; if you want to remember with happy
tears in your eyes all the love, emotion and joys of the day...
Then
this is going to be the most exciting website you have ever gone
to - Really!
My name is Jesse Montanez, and I LOVE weddings! I've been
photographing them for 28 years - not because I have to for the
money, (I have a very successful portrait photography business
that makes me a very comfortable living) but rather because I
want to, because I love the emotion and romance
of your wedding.
Maybe you've seen my photography in Celebrations Party Spot,
Leilani's Shear Creations, Yosi's Flowers, Sun's Printing, Celebrations
Ink, All Party Solutions or the many other locations in Southern
Arizona where we have been asked to display our work.

Here's
How To Have The Most Magical, Romantic, And Emotional Wedding
Day Of Your Dreams!
If you're still reading, let me congratulate you. This
means you want to be the most beautiful bride anywhere.
You want your wedding to be a wonderfully emotional and romantic
day. You want to have everything go smoothly and
perfectly, You want to have a great
time. You want to see all your guests, and have them also have
a fun time. Well, here's how to do it:
Here's
7
Secrets
To Having The Wedding Of Your Dreams!
SECRET
#1: How
To Guarantee Your Wedding Lives Up To Your Dreams.
Believe it or not, the photographer you select to photograph
your wedding can make or break your wedding day. Yes, I
kid you not, your wedding day - not just your photographs!
Why? Because he's THERE - with you and your family,
in person - interacting with all your family and guests - and
representing you every minute.
Now, HONESTLY, we're not just talking about photography
here - we're talking about YOUR WEDDING - how YOU FEEL
on your wedding day, and how smoothly and romantically everything
goes. You see, your photographer determines this, by the
way he helps you plan your wedding, the way he treats you and
your loved ones, and the way he conducts himself throughout the
day.
Amazing
Secret Revealed - What Other Wedding Photographers Don't Want
You To Know!
So here's the secret: Meet the photographer - IN PERSON
and their place of business - before you hire anyone to
photograph your wedding! Most brides don't realize that
many studios hire part time photographers to photograph their
weddings for them - high school and college kids, friends, relatives,
etc. This means that you go to a studio, talk with a salesperson,
look at their samples, and make a decision - without really knowing
who will be photographing your wedding! Whats worse is,
some people meet a so called photographer at a restaurant of
coffee shop and don't even know where this so called photographer
lives or if they even have business license.
And if it's not just the right person doing the photography,
and interacting with all your family and guests, or if this amature
photographer doesn't show up, everything can be ruined!
So,
when you're talking with a potential studio, ask them the following
questions:
1. Who did these photographs you are showing me?
2. Who, by name, will be photographing our wedding if we
hire your studio?
3. How many years of experience does this photographer
have?
4. Are you digital or film based studio? (Digital
prints don't last.)
5. We want to MEET this person, BEFORE we hire your studio.
( Some
photographers live across the border in
Mexico
and if they have a hard time crossing the border to meet with
you, they may not be able to cross the border the day of your
wedding.
) ( That's a scary thought but I hear this happens too often
in Tucson and other border towns.)
Then,
when you meet this person, ask him or her the following questions:
1. How will you dress at my wedding?
2. Did you do ALL the samples of wedding photography we
saw in the sample books? If not, show us YOUR work, please.
3. How long have you been photographing weddings?
4. How long will you be at my wedding?
5. Before you leave our wedding, who do you check with
first to see if there's anything else we would like you to do?
6. Do you work from a checklist of photos? (You NEVER
want a photographer who needs a checklist doing your wedding
photography! He'll spend all his time looking at the list,
and miss all the wonderful, romantic and spontaneous moments
of your wedding!)
Then, decide if you REALLY LIKE HIM, as well as his work! Because
he's going to be spending a lot of time with you and your family
and friends, on your important day.
By
the way, just so you know, here's my answers to those questions:
I'm the ONLY photographer at my studio. I will be photographing
your wedding personally. I will dress in a nice dress
shirt & tie or suit (NOT A TUX, AND NOT JUST SLACKS AND A
SHIRT! I don't want to take anything away from your groom
and groomsmen and the fathers, and I also don't want to dress
casually, and not represent you professionally.)
I have been photographing weddings, as I mentioned earlier, for
_____ years. Can you fill in the blank? Just checking
to see if you're paying attention! It's 28 years!
We are part film, part digital but all of our finished portraits
are printed at our professional color lab and they use only the
best photographic papers available.
I'll
be at your wedding until you, your husband (how exciting - your
"husband!"), your parents, and your husband's parents
all say they have nothing else for me to do. I NEVER will
leave your wedding without checking with all of the above people!
I use no checklist. Instead, I learn the names and relationships
of all the members of your wedding party, and both families!
I refer to them by name, and I know their relationship to you,
so I can be constantly watching for those special, magical and
spontaneous moments that will be so meaningful to you to have
photographs of!

were so terrific! Everything was so wonderful, and we really
adore our photographs. If anyone is ever hesitating to hire you,
simply have them give us a call! We'll tell them how thrilled

#2:
Announcing The Single Most Important 'Secret' You MUST Know About
Weddings!
Here's a really big "secret" that almost no brides
think about when interviewing a potential photographer:
What's their guarantee? What happens if you aren't happy
with the photography, or the way you and your friends were treated,
or if the photographer left your wedding before he was supposed
to, etc.
This is of the utmost importance! The guarantee (make sure
it's in writing!) tells you just how committed they are
going to be in taking good care of you, and doing a great job.
And,
just so you know, here's our IRON CLAD, 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE:
You
will be THRILLED (not just 'satisfied') with how
we represented you and your family at your wedding, and also
THRILLED with your photographs, or we will do whatever
necessary to have you be THRILLED with them, or we will return
ALL YOUR MONEY. Period. No hard feelings either.
We want you to LOVE everything we do for you!
You see, we understand that you can't do this over again. This
is a "one-time-thing" and everything MUST be perfect!
You have our written guarantee that we'll take really good care
of you!
SECRET
#3:
An Important Warning: Miss This Secret, And A Disaster
Could Happen At Your Wedding!
This seems so obvious, and yet brides miss this one all the time,
and pay a BIG PRICE for it after their wedding! Be sure
the photographer has lots of happy brides and grooms, who have
written him and told him how happy there were with both him,
and his work! We're talking TESTIMONIALS here! From
real people, with their full names, and their city and
state, so you can call them if you want to, just to "check
them out" and make sure that they really said what the photographer
says they said. (That's a hard sentence to read, but you
get the point! Sorry!)
I'm sorry to be so skeptical, but we live in a time in history
when you have to be really careful to be certain that people
are telling you the truth.
You will notice that throughout this web page are photographs
and testimonials from some of the brides and grooms whom we have
been honored to work with on their wedding day. Also notice
that their FULL names, city and state are listed, so, if you
really wanted to, you could look them up in the phone book, and
call them.
SECRET
#4:
A Magic Way To Have A Great Wedding.
One of the things that you really want to look for in your photographer,
is someone who is an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER!
An artistic photographer whose images combine to tell the EMOTIONAL
STORY of your family, your friends, and your wedding day.
This is really important, if you are looking for photographs
which will be PRICELESS to you for years and years to come!
And here's why this is so important! If an artist is
an EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, there's a really good chance that
he will be compassionate about not ruining the romance, beauty
and emotions of your day. You see, only a true romantic
can truly understand how important this day is to you, and how
perfectly you want it to go.
And a true romantic will be sensitive to NOT INTERFERING WITH
THE EMOTIONAL ROMANTIC FLOW OF YOUR DAY!
I
could tell you so many horror stories here. But let me
just mention one so you understand how important this is.
Not long ago, I heard about a photographer who was hiding behind
some flowers up at the altar (something that I will NEVER do!)
and he dropped a lens on the marble floor with a huge crash,
and then swore out loud so loud that everyone heard it!
(He obviously wasn't a romantic EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER or he
wouldn't have ruined the romance and religious significance of
the ceremony by hiding behind flowers where everyone could see
him come and go - and, of course, there is NO excuse for profanity!)
So, looking for a romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY TELLER, who
will beautifully tell the story of your love for each other,
and for your family and friends, will also result in someone
who will respect you and your wishes, and conduct himself in
only the most professional and friendly way, because he understands
in the most intimate way, the importance of the "Story of
Your Wedding Day."
And, by the way, my brides tell me that they really love the
way I emotionally tell the story of their wedding day.
SECRET
#5:
The Truth About Wedding Photographers Revealed. What They
Don't Want Me To Tell You!
It is not my intention to say anything bad about any other photographers
in the area. I know most of them personally, and count
many of them as my friends. However, it is really important
that I alert you, in this website to some of the problems that
you otherwise would never know about.
Well,
here's a "biggie."
Most
photographers will cram as many weddings into a day as they humanly
can. Many times, this means they must rush from your wedding,
to get to another, and then rush from that one, to get to another.
This type of photographer just isn't going to be able to capture
the EMOTIONS, ROMANCE, LOVE, AND RELATIONSHIPS
between you and your husband (doesn't that sound exciting?!
Your "husband!") and also between you and your
family and friends. He's just won't have the sensitivity
and enthusiasm and love for what he does to be able to capture
those feelings. And he won't have the time or energy.
|
"There are so
many things we like about you and your wonderful service. But
the guarantee was one of the major reasons we selected you. We
realized that we could not do this over, so we wanted to hire
someone we really trusted, and who had a really strong guarantee.
All the photos look
great and everyone that sees our wedding album is impressed with
your work. You took such great photos, we love them all!"

and Cindy Miller

You
Won't Believe This, But I Assure You, It's True!
For example, I won't mention any names here, but I once knew
a photographer who photographed so many weddings in a single
day, that the only way he could remember the names of the bride
and groom at each wedding was to write their first names on masking
tape, and stick it to the back of his camera! Not only that,
but if he had, say five weddings, he would simply stack layers
of masking tape on the back of the camera, and as he left one
wedding for the next, he would just rip off that layer, and the
next couples names were now showing! I swear to you this
is true!
By
the way, I ONLY photograph 2 weddings per weekend.
You get me for the entire wedding. I understand
how important this day is to you, and I am there for you!
This also means that I'm rested and energetic. It also means
I'm enthusiastic about what I will be doing for you. As
I mentioned earlier, I photograph weddings because I LOVE
them, not because I have to do them. And since I only photograph
one wedding a day, I'm not tired or "burned out on your
important day."
SECRET
#6:
A Remarkable Secret To Truly Enjoying Your Wedding Day, And Having
It Filled With Wonderful, Emotional Moments!
This is so important! Be sure the photographer you hire
has a "team" approach to taking good care of you on
your day. This means that he isn't going to be trying to
work alone to photograph your important day.
You see, doing a really super, romantic, EMOTIONAL STORY
of your day requires a huge amount of planning, care, and effort.
More effort than just one person can do.
Let me explain.
I
will arrive at your wedding with my Creative Director and Wedding
Consultant, Bettina, who also is my wife and partner and assistant
photographer. She has a HUGE responsibility during
the day, and is the true secret to our success in wedding photography.
She makes certain that you look fantastic, every minute of the
day! She's not going to be taking photographs all the time!
She's also just going to be helping you with your dress and flowers,
fixing your veil before a photograph so it looks perfect,
fixing your train so it is perfect for the photographs, etc.
Plus, she brings you a drink if you're thirsty in the receiving
line. She finds your best friend from college if you ask
for her. She helps you in any way she can to assure that
you have a wonderful day, as well as wonderful photographs.
And on and on and on..............
We are a TEAM. A team that together, guarantees
that you not only have a great time on your wedding day, but
also assures you of having PERFECTLY EMOTIONAL photographs!
A
HUGE POINT FOR BRIDES-TO-BE::
The
Magic Of "E.F.P" On Your Wedding Day!
I
don't really look at it as "wedding photography," but
rather as "Emotional Family Photography" created
on your wedding day!" It's all the emotions, relationships
and personalities of all your friends and relatives, captured
in beautiful images for you and your family to cherish for the
rest of your lives. After all, isn't that what you really
want?
"E.F.P." (Emotional
Family Photography) is
one of the major things that separates us from all the other
wedding photographers in the area. I want to capture the
love, relationships, personalities, and emotions of all your
family and friends for you to enjoy and view with happy tears
in your eyes for years and years to come!
Aren't
The People and The Emotions Of Your Life What Matter The Most
To You?
Because it's the people and the emotions of your
life that are so valuable to you. Yes, you'll also see
the beautiful dresses and flowers. Yes, you'll see the
lovely ceremony, etc. But more, much more than that.
You'll feel the emotions that you and your fiancée feel
toward each other and toward your best friends and family members
on this magical day. Yes, feel them each time you
view your photographs. That's what I am driven to do for
you!
You see, you want photography that "speaks" to you
with love, emotion, respect, and the glorious feelings you will
be feeling on your wedding day.
You want your photography to "tell the story" of your
wedding day, AND your families and friends.
Most
photographers, bless their hearts, just want to "record
the event, and go home."
I
want you to cry when you see the photographs! Cry
tears of happiness, tears of joy, because in those photographs
are all the people that you and your husband love and care about
- showing their real personalities and emotions like you never
dreamed they would!
Most photographers just want to get home before midnight, or
hurry to the next wedding they are photographing.
Don't
Miss The "Emotional Moments" Of Your Day Because Your
Photographer Didn't Have The Vision To See And Capture Them In
A Sensitive, Romantic Way!
Your day will be filled with beautiful "Emotional Moments"
that you will never experience again in your life. Those
"Moments" are what I am driven to capture for you.
Here's just three examples:
NEW!
#1. An Amazing And Wonderfully Emotional Way To Express Your
Love For Your Dad On Your Wedding Day!
|
As
a father myself, I can assure you that one of the most emotional
moments in a dad's life is when he "gives his little girl
away" at the beginning of your ceremony. Your dad
will never forget it.
But now, there's something full of emotional magic that you can
give your dad when he gives you away! At that very powerful
moment in his and your life, you hand him a surprise "Father's
Pride" that he carries with him back to the pew,
and as he reads your personal message to him, and looks at the
emotional photograph of you in your wedding gown, he begins to
cry with tears of joy and love! |
 |
He
will be so moved and touched! You and he will never
forget it!
Don't
miss that moment!
#2.
The Magic Moment When The Love Of Your Life First Sees You!
Or the incredible moment when your fiancée first sees
you in your wedding gown - perfect in every way - with your lovely
flowers, the beautiful veil and headpiece - everything which
you selected specifically for him - as the tears swell up in
his eyes, and he tells you how very much he loves and adores
you.
Don't
miss that moment!
#3.
A Magic Moment With Grandma
Or, if you are lucky enough to still have a living grandmother,
the lovely moment when she reaches up and puts her arms around
you, and with tears in her eyes, tells you how beautiful you
look and how much she loves you, and how proud she is of you.
Don't miss that moment!
I could go on and on. Your entire day will be made up of
brief, priceless moments like these. Let's make
sure first of all that your day is so beautifully organized and
planned that these moments truly can happen, and then let's help
you to be so stress free, but excited, that you can enjoy and
remember these wonderful, magical moments for the rest of your
life.
How
do we do that?
I'll bet you think I'm going to say that you do this through
the photography. Right? Wrong! The way we help
these moments happen, and help you remember them, is to help
you have a wonderful, romantic and emotional day! A
day where everything goes perfectly. As long as we do that,
the rest will take care of itself!
That's what Bettina and I will do for you.
Oh,
if you ever talk with a photographer who says this to you, run
away as fast as you can!
If
he/she says, "We need to start taking photographs 2 - 3
hour before the ceremony and you will need to see each other
for this. Or, I need 2 hours after the ceremony for your formal
portraits. Or I don't take reception candids. He/she does this
to condense time, - then he/she's NOT the photographer
for you! Why not? Because he/she has a completely
false impression of his importance, and will try to run your
day and take charge! He is not willing to work with you
because he/she doesn't want to take photos throughout the entire
wedding.
Your
photographs are all you will have after the wedding is over.
Your flowers will be dead, your cake will be eaten, etc. - but
you'll have your photographs! They are the most important
thing about your wedding!"
Don't let that happen! Because the photographs alone
are not the most important thing - the romance, emotions
and relationships with your family and guests are also
important!

#7:
How To Be Assured That You Will Be The Most Beautiful Bride Your
Friends Or Relatives Have Ever Seen!
You
deserve to have a wedding day where you are the most beautiful
bride any of your friends or relatives have ever seen.
That's the dream of every girl when she begins visualizing her
wedding day. And you deserve to have that!
Let's see to it that is exactly what happens! How?
Simple. Yes, you will select the perfect dress, headpiece,
veil, flowers, shoes, etc.
Yes, you will have your hair and make up done. But it goes
much deeper than that.
You see, beauty is also in the way you Feel on
your wedding day. The way your emotions show on your face,
and the way you glow when you walk down the aisle and look in
the eyes of the love of your life.
Many of my brides will understand this when I say it: When
you hire us to photograph your wedding, you're really paying
for Bettina and I to be there. To take all the pressures
and tensions out of the day for you. You know that we are
there, and that we truly care about you, and will help you with
everything so the day goes perfectly.
That's really what our brides are paying us for. The photographs
are free. They're just an added "bonus!"
You see, if you, your husband (there's that great word again!),
and your family and guests are all having a wonderful time, you
will be more beautiful than you have even dreamed you would
be. Because there will be no tension there. And,
by the way, your photographs will be beautiful too, because you
looked so wonderful and you were having such a great time.
See how it all "fits" together to
result in a wonderful day, and beautiful photographs? You
really can't separate them!
A
True Tragic Story Of A Bride And Groom, And What It Means For
You.
Let me take a moment to tell you a true story.
Several years ago, I received a phone call from a woman whose
wedding I had photographed a couple of
years before.
Here's what she said, "Jesse, I just wanted to call you
and tell you that our house burned down last night."
I said, "Oh, Mary, I'm so sorry."
She said, "We got out okay, and are fine. But I wanted
you to know what I did. It's the middle of the night, and
the smoke detectors are going off. We grab each other and
run for the door! But I stopped and picked up our Two Volume
Set of Photography you did for us on our wedding day! I
left the beautiful candelabra that was my grandmother's.
I left the family heirloom bible that has been in the family
for 3 generations. I left EVERYTHING, except those two
volumes. Because they are so meaningful to me. Everyone
who I love and care about is in those volumes. I couldn't
let them burn!
"Now, I understood that you have the negatives, and could
have made us another set of photographs. That wasn't why
I 'saved' them. I saved them because those volumes contain
all the emotions, love, romance, and relationships that matter
in our lives! I just wanted you to know that. Thank
you so much for the wonderful, emotional photographs you created
for us."
When she finished speaking, she was crying, and so was I. She
had just put into words, what I had not been able to for my entire
career.
You
see how "Emotional Family Photography" can make your
wedding volumes absolutely PRICELESS?
In my humble opinion, the tender fabric of your life is sewn
together with beautiful, emotional moments between you and your
loved ones, and I want to capture and express all those wonderful
moments for you in your wedding volumes - and accomplish this
without interfering with the emotions and romance of your wedding
day.
