We are imaging professionals, and we are just like you.  We are in love.  We know who our families are.  

At Avalon, we are serious about what we do because we know how important it is to you.  It's that important to us as well.   We know we have the best jobs in the World.   To celebrate relationships -- in ways that glorify and strengthen  the ties that bind us together -- is our calling.  We bring technical skills and aesthetic sensibilities together when producing work that will make you laugh, and cry, and cherish all that is dear to you.   We are lucky to have found this calling in our lives, and we are thankful every day for it.  

Avalon is a small group of artists who work together to provide you with evocative, cinematic images that chronicle the times of your life. We will help you celebrate the things that matter to you, both today and for years to come.   Many, many years to come.
