Wedding Photo Packages

Your best bet -- talk to us first. Use these as guidelines. You would never trust your surgery to a plumber and you would never tell your surgeon what he should operate on and how long it would take. We offer free consultations to determine your needs and how they can be fulfilled.

No two photographers offer the same services. You may discover that when all is said and done -- the "fantastic deal" offered by one photographer for shooting for a full day for a $1,000 will leave you paying more than $4,000 for the photos, albums and other extras! Not a bargain. And if you were searching for your daughter or son, do you really want them to pay all the extra charges that the photographer does not mention up-front?

We have had brides and their mothers tell us that we were way over-priced -- until they looked at all the details and discovered that we were actually far cheaper than the "cheaper" photographer.

We've gotten a good chuckle on this -- as they then get exactly what they purchased. Oh, and we do hear about this as we have had people come back and tell us they should have hired us in the first place.

There is no such thing as a "bargain" in terms of your wedding photography -- there are cut-rate photographers who will do a hack job; amateurs who will leave you very disappointed and semi-pros who won't actually deliver what they promise. Wow, what a bargain that was! I don't want to sound negative -- but I really want your photography to be something you recall with total joy and exuberance. Not ever disappointment.

Enough of my babbling -- contact us directly to answer your questions and to fit a package to you -- not try to get a package that happens to fit.

 


 

Wedding Photo Options:

All packages include the following:

Two HI-Res DVDs (or CDs if that what you need) of the event, done on archival quality DVDs that will outlast almost anything else on the market by decades. We put all the photos on the DVDs. There are usually many hundreds to pick from. It takes us a couple of weeks after the actual wedding to create this CD/DVD as we go through and both tweak and edit the photos so you don’t get out-of-focus or other shots that really aren’t acceptable.  We don’t just dump the photos onto discs.

1. Your photos are all posted to a website; can be password protected upon your request; which then gives all of your guests a place to go to look at the photos and even order them so they don’t have to bug you after the wedding.

2. A percentage of the total figure acts as a design credit toward getting the professionally printed photos you want. photos. You then have total control over what photos you want and how you want them. These photos are a step above the photos on the CDs, with more extensive retouching (eliminating facial blemishes, minimizing wrinkles and bags under the eyes) and other effects to make the photo spectacular.

3. We are flexible; anything above 6 hours could include the rehearsal the night before and dinner coverage depending on the wedding day schedule.

4. Photos are shot digitally – which means we can produce color, black and white, sepia or other special effects you might desire. We do not charge extra for the basic special effects, but there are charges for advanced special effects.

5. We bring lighting as needed. The photographer has another photographer/assistant working with him on any wedding. We ensure that you have all the images from your wedding day. What this means – two photographers work on your wedding and not just one.

6. Between 2 to 4 hours of consultation work to ensure (before and after the wedding!) that you do get what you desired.

Extra Services

1. Albums are available, but the cost varies from under $300 to more than $2000 greatly depending on the size of the album, the style of the album, number of pages and so on. A second album (for the parents!) is then available at a savings over the first. And three or more would even save you more. All albums are done as books and are perfect for coffee table display.

2. Custom Thank You cards with either your engagement photo or one from the wedding day.

3. Bridal portrait taken, a $350 value that is included in our platinum and above packages, this is a special time set aside before the wedding itself to capture the bride without the stress of the wedding later in the day. 

4. Custom slide shows are available, a $200 value that is included in our top packages.

5. Boudoir photography is a sexy new trend that's especially popular as a wedding day gift from a bride to her groom, think of classic pinup-inspired pictures.

Our wedding options require one half down as a retainer with the other half due by the date of the wedding. They all include a design credit; this will go towards your printed photos.

By the way, if you are wondering why you should get a package, well, there is a value to larger packages that makes them a better deal than smaller packages.
