Eventually your big day will come! You’ll get married with everyone looking their best ever, with your carefully chosen bridal gown, tuxedoes, and bridesmaid dresses. Your guests will see evidence of your impeccable taste in your choice of reception hall and decorations. Everyone will enjoy the caterer’s smorgasbord, eat the cake, and dance all night to the music. However, as the days and weeks and eventually years afterward go by, much of what happened on your wedding day and how it felt usually seems like one big blur.
In the end, the only things you get to keep forever (besides each other) are the pictures. And while snapshots are nice, what you really need is an artist who can freeze that day in time and tell its story—capturing all of the time and love you put into planning it, along with preserving the imagery and feelings you experienced.
Telling your story is what gets us excited about photographing your wedding! And since everyone’s story is unique, we work hard to tailor to each of our clients’ needs on an individual basis.
- For each of our clients we like to offer the following standard services:
- Full-day coverage of your event, from the prep before the wedding until you leave your reception. We don’t want you to be time-conscious, so we don’t charge hourly so long as we can leave before we turn into pumpkins.
- We attend your ceremony rehearsal to make sure we understand the choreography of your event and any important restrictions or limitations we may need to work within to cover your wedding successfully.
- Portrait sessions on your wedding day for you, your families, and your bridal party.
- At least two photographers will cover your wedding. This lets us capture the groom’s face along with the bride’s glorious entrance, along with different angles of all the action and some great candid shots throughout the entire day.
- A 10"x10" 80-page customized photo book or album containing the story of your entire wedding day. (Our photo books are awesome! And you don't have to take our word for it—our clients say so too, and we always have a sample to share with perspective clients so you can see for yourself!)
- What about engagement portraits?
Of course we love to take engagement photos! We strongly encourage all of our wedding clients to get them. - How long will it take for me to see my photos?
We try to have the first of your wedding photos ready for you to see within 2 weeks of your wedding day. We'll have about 50-100 photos from your big day to share, and we'll help you order prints then as well. - How long does it take to receive prints?
The turnaround time on prints is usually about 2-3 weeks, depending on the size of your order. For an additional fee we can expedite your order and have your prints on the next day, or even on the same day in some cases. - How long does it take to receive my photo book?
We don't use cookie-cutter templates to create your photo book, instead we spend a great deal of time making sure your photo book tells the story of your wedding day beautifully, tastefully, timelessly, and dramatically with your own unique style and class. It's a labor of love and can take up to 3 or 4 months depending on how busy we are. We love to share our sample photo books—we think you'll see that they're well worth the wait!
This production time is necessary on only the first copy of your photo book—so additional exact copies of your photo book take only 2-3 weeks to arrive, and they also cost quite a bit less! - What are your prices?
As mentioned above, we work to tailor our services for each client's need. Our standard wedding packages start at $2500. Engagement sessions start at $350. - What if we’re getting married on a shoestring?
We realize some are on a tight budget but still want to work with us. For those folks, we can scale down our standard service offerings somewhat while still achieving excellent results. An economy package with only a portrait session on location for the couple starts at $500. - What if I want something different from your standard services? Do you do slideshows, DVDs? Will you just do prints?
All great questions! As mentioned before, we do lots of things and we tailor to meet each individual couple’s needs. Since everyone’s situation is unique, we like to sit down in person and find out what you want before we commit to pricing.
