The Dream-Maker® Willow Waterfall Chapel
The Dream-Maker’s Willow Waterfall Chapel, with posh teal décor and gold accents, accommodates twenty-five persons, including the wedding party. An elegant podium and kneeler grace the altar area. An exquisite range of celadon green sage to hunter verte, the colors of our Tahoe forests, are used in all the chapel decor. Branches of curly willows and wisteria adorn the falls. Forest green velvet columns, accentuate the front of the chapel, while guests enjoy the comfort of brocade/velvet pews.

Indirect, alabaster and golden wall sconces (with dimmers) add a soft light contributing to the romantic ambiance. Unity candle ceremonies are available at an additional fee. The Unity Candle Set is a memorable keepsake for the bride and groom to cherish forever!

* Photo Packages include a choice of cameras from 24 photos taken on the Digital Nikon and sent to you on a mini-CD, or 24 exposures taken on 35mm Nikon film camera with undeveloped roll given to couple, at completion of wedding, to develop and print. 

1. 24x Exposures on Professional 35mm Film Camera.  For couples trying to save money, who don't mind doing the footwork and cost for photos for friends and family copies.  The film will be professionally taken, with great equipment and then given to couple to develop and print.  The savings are that the couple can print as many copies as they wish for a much lower cost.  Unless otherwise requested, the 35mm film option is the default in the Sapphire or Crystal Waters packages.

2. 24x Photos taken on Digital Camera and mini-CD mailed to you.  Note: Allow ten days to two weeks for delivery. 

How Good Is Digital Quality - or - What Is The Megapixal Rating Of 35mm Film: Recently, we married a couple and found out that the groom was a developer/programmer for the digital photography industry, working for one of the well-known camera brands.  We asked him three times what the Megapixial of 35mm film was.  The first two answers were, "we, in the industry, don't talk about this number."  He really didn't want to tell us the Megapixal equivalent of film.  Finally, the third time the subject came up, he said, "alright, 35mm film is 18-20 Megapixal."  We were obviously surprised.  He said this it is why we don't talk about it.  When we finally equal 35mm film we will brag about it, but until we get there we allow people to be happy with their 6, 7 or 8 Megapixal digital cameras.  He said that the best part of present day digital cameras is that they are so very convenient, taking the need to purchase film and having to go to developers for belated results out of the equation.  He continued, some day we will equal and then surpass film, but we are not there yet.  Dream-Maker has a great digital SLR camera and offers this as a photo possibility, but until digital equals, or surpasses film, our first choice is to the film medium, where enlargements come out the very best they can be.  Also, when you get 35mm film developed you can have a CD of digital files burned, so you have the best of both film as well as digital photos to email, etc.  And, having your negatives makes the cost of reprints a fraction of the cost of what a photographer would charge for additional prints.

* Special: If you have ordered a Manzanita or a Sugar Pine package with 24x, 35 film photos, you can upgrade to 36x, 35mm photos for only $50.00, plus tax, which this upgrade is usually a $95 value.

* Wheelchair Rentals Available (see Package Additions)

* Dream-Maker records your wedding video on a Digital/Video camera, then transfers it to a DVD format, to maintain the highest playback quality.  Commercial, "Broadcast Quality Video", also available at an additional cost.  Call for prices.

*Note: Professional Photography/Videography must be taken by a Dream-Maker photographer.  No other "Professional" Photographer, hired in the place of a Dream-Maker photographer, is allowed at this location.
