Get rid of the all flash interphase, it doesnt look good, runs slow, and is very stupid. All flash websites are really annoying.... :meh:

Well to start with, it wouldn't work in my browser (Firefox 64bit, no flash support) so I couldn't see it. Then I thought, well, if he wants to exclude several million potential customers and hurt his SEO chances by using flash, so be it, and I opened it in another browser....

Overall the site design is nice and clean, I like that. Your keywords are too generic. Your meta description has misspellings in it and could use a little rework. I am not sure I like the dotted lines too much, really makes me want to grab scissors and cut apart the screen, heh. The converted B&W images really don't do much for me.

Don't use the "Coming Soon" sign for the wedding gallery. Just leave it off until you get that page done.

Good navigation, though. I easily found the 2 things customers want to know: are your photos any good, and how much do you charge!

I couldn't access the page at all--the loading line was moving, but never moved beyond that.

I'm using Chrome.

Good luck,

Thanks to all for the compliments & critiques alike.

Allan: Any suggestions on the keywords and/or revisions of the metadata?

DuckRabbit: Do you have issues with any other flash sites using Chrome?

Only thing that I saw was that you are extremely cheap in your pricing. Personally, I like flash.

Thanks Eric, I'm a fan of flash as well...for better or worse.

I agree w/ Eric that your portrait pricing seems a bit low... especially considering that you offer a $3,900 wedding package.

One minor gripe... having the tabs (Home, Portfolio, Information, etc.) facing to the left is a bit disconcerting... but that's just a personal preference. My eyes work better with the tabs reading left to right.
