ABOUT PAUL
   
About Me....Paul Cichocki: of Polish / Hungarian
descent..I have been shooting and processing images since 1986, professionally
full time since 1997, I am easy going and personable, having worked for
a multitude of years in Las Vegas, I've gained experience working under
all situations, with everyone from celebities (I've met over 200 celebs
while working as a busy corporate photographer in Las Vegas) to shooting
for Forbes 500 corporations, to the smallest local clients...and people.
I have a wife of 12 years, 2 daughters ages 9 & 10,
I'm a do-it-yourselfer that likes family camping, off roading, fishing,
boating and restoring thingsI am originally from St Clair Shores Mich (near
Detroit) and moved to Las Vegas in 1988 after a couple years in the US
Army. my wife is from the Poconos in Pennsylvania, I have 6 brothers
and sisters, and family is important to me! I like to treat my customers
like one of the family....I am not shy... and will try and raise your energy
level for fun photos, by being as outgoing and funny as I can muster on
the fly... I expend energy into my work....wait and see!
I have a degree in Computer Graphic arts and worked with
a prestigeous Las Vegas Photography Studio for 1 1/2 years before venturing
out on my own as a professional Commercial Photographer (primarily architectural
and studio work)
The last 8 years shooting primarily as a wedding photographer
for clients such as you
see a variety of my architectural and commercial
advertising work at www.LasVegasPix.com/home.php
I personally do any editing myself (no outside
services or vendors are used for photoshop editing),
it gives me the opportunity to review my work and improve
the photography.
I use CANON professional cameras and lenses exclusively
I always have a backup camera with me, and 3 flashes as well, you can print
posters from the image files. That being said night time can pose issues
such as slow shutter speeds and sometimes things can get hectic, occosionally
some images will have a little motion blur, some grain from high ISO or
other related night time issues, I try and minimize all of these issues
as best as I can, I'll will work hard for ....you will agree after you
work with me! RAIN WEATHER WIND HEAT can also all happen in Vegas,
heat and wind being the most common, bring some water, comfy shoes (flats)
in a bag for later when your feet become sore, plan approprietly.
(Where I live for the last few years) Pahrump, NV
is a rural community about 55 minutes out of Las Vegas via freeway, Pahrump
is famous for the legal Brothels & "Chicken Ranches" I drive into Vegas
about 3 to 7 days a week for weddings,
we opted for a quieter country life for my wife, 2 daughters
and I.... after 23 years of living in the Las Vegas valley.
I always try to check in with my wedding clients a couple
days before the wedding and also on the day of, I either send a text
message or call your hotel room, check in beforehand let you know Im On
My Way! or I'll Be There!
please feel free to check in with me as well! also the
more info you share with me THE BETTER (whats the groom and brides names!)
a cell phone number, perhaps a hotel that you are staying at (let me know
what name you are staying under) etc...
If you never solidified a booking with me, please don't
expect me to be there on the day of your wedding, as it's a long drive
for me going off some inquiry from last year etc...... I make every
attempt to keep up with my clients changes and plans, sometime the wedding
party forgets to actually book me! they talk but don't book...then they
are like WHERES PAUL? last second... (this happened 3 times in the last
5 years) please check in with me a couple weeks prior to your day...to
make sure we are on the same page...booked and that I have your details
and information, I get from 1 to 10 leads per day, phone calls, emails
and texts...things can get confused sometimes so lets both keep up with
making sure your day is planned and goes smoothly! no suprises for either
of us! ;-) Many times I will tell people "I currently have that date and
or time available"..that is not a solid booking though, so be sure to lock
in a date and time with me as soon as you possibly know and are all set
and decided......if I get other inquiries for teh same date and time I
do try and check with the 1rst person that contacted me to gove them seom
priority since they were 1rst....
I'm a man of my word....No Contracts necessary!! 99%
are no contract shoots
but if you prefer one ,I can send you our standard contract
with your details via email
Cancellations, please let me know about the changes
or cancellation, if possoble, at-least 2 hours prior to the time
you booked me so I don't waste the one hour drive into Vegas, I wont
get mad for you cancelling, I'd much rather get a phone call than drive
2 hours roundtrip plus gas and wait 45 minutees somewhere calling you in
vain. You don't owe me anything, except common courtesy, THANK YOU
in adavance for that
