Jennie Clemen's Gravesite-Carson City, Nevada
Jennie Clemens-Mark Twain's Niece
In 1864, the niece of Mark Twain,(Sam Clemens) became very ill in Carson City at age 9, and
Jennie Clemens was buried in Lone Mountain cemetery Carson City after her death.
Twain was then living in Virginia City, and also spent much time at his brother's house in Carson.
Twain was bitter after her death, and wrote a story the undertaker
had greatly overcharged his brother Orion for Jennie's funeral services.
Twain then began a lifelong battle against overpriced undertakers, and his writing became more sarcastic
and hardhitting after Jennie's death.

We're not sure Marsha is 100% right, but every event is unique, and you should hire photograpohers who can go beyond the cliche'.

Black and Whites are Sometimes Timeless...
We sort of like doing the wedding shots in black and white as well as color, as the images, both candid and posed, can sometimes acheive almost a timeless quality,,,,and no, you don't need to spend $5,000 for unique wedding photography. Hopefully most people will spend at least as much on their photography as on their bar tab....
