HistoryJoel and Patricia combined their passions for photography and video to form Illusion of Grandeur Photography in 2007. While they may not offer video services, the skills required for video carry over nicely into still photography. They discovered how much fun planning a wedding could be when they planned their own in 2007, and capturing other people on the happiest day of their lives seemed like a perfect fit. Over time, they found that building relationships and seeing couples become parents and capturing those milestones really made for a rewarding experience.SpecialtiesWhether you just got engaged, are getting married, just found out you're expecting, or want some professional pictures of your favorite furry friends we have the experience and attention to detail that you can trust for your once-in-a-lifetime event.
