Your Love Story...
... is not like any other. Your wedding is, perhaps, the most important chapter. Let me illustrate it with one-of-a-kind images that you can delight in forever. It is through your photos that your best memories will always be crystal clear.
Before your wedding day, but once your plans are taking shape, call me or send me an e-mail note. We will meet for an hour to talk about your story and your vision of your wedding day. Together we should visit your ceremony and reception locations and discuss your expectations.
But during your wedding day, I won't simply follow you around, interrupting and asking you to "smile!" a hundred different times. Aside from the short session of group pictures and some portraits with the bride and groom, I will spend my time quietly watching and recording those tender moments that make your story shine. Later you can relish and relive those little moments together.
Of course I will plan for the important shots too. These usually include at least:
- Getting ready for the ceremony
- The Procession
- The Exchange of vows and rings
- The Kiss
- The Recession
- Group photographs
- Signing the documents
- Bride and Groom portraits
- Throwing the bouquet
- The Departure
- A Number of Candid Pictures of the Wedding Party, Family and Guests
- Your Own Requests
The actual photography time usually runs 5-8 hours.
Afterwards, I will review the hundreds of photos, apply color correction, cropping and other edits. You'll receive a USB with at least 200 professional-quality images with printing rights -- photos that you can immediately and easily post to social media, or send to friends and family by e-mail. Any and all images will also be available for full resolution digital downloads or to purchase in print.
Altogether, I spend at least 20 hours preparing, photographing, editing and producing the images. It usually involves one or more assistants, and usually a second photographer.
In exchange for these service I ask for $1200. A $200 non-refundable deposit is due after the initial consultation. The balance is due before the wedding date. I am available to do half-day wedding photography as well. If you have any special requests (such as RAW files or a hardcover memory book), I will be happy to negotiate with you so you get just what you want. The cost may vary depending on the totality of the services you require.
I am also glad to do engagement and bridal portraits. If you would like other services or a different arrangement of prints and downloads, we can arrange all sorts of packages for you. I would be honored to be chosen to photograph your wedding.
