Weddings

I offer a few different packages, yet I also understand that packages can include things that a couple might not want. So, we'll go with the bits and pieces first.

• All weddings require a $500 deposit.
• Standard 12-hour coverage - $1,000. I show up, I shoot for 12 hours, I edit and then upload to the online proof gallery (prints can be ordered there if needed).
• Full resolution disc (digital negatives) - $1,200. "You want $1,200 for a disc?!?" I'll tell you why. You're not just getting a few copyright-protected prints. You're getting the whole day's worth of images and the written permission to reproduce, email, print, even sell them as much as you want. Many photographers don't even offer this within the first year after the wedding.
• Wedding album - $1,500. Your wedding is just that — your wedding. Your album should be too. My albums are all hand-made by me, and as a result, no two are ever alike. You'll pick your colors from my swatch/material samples which go from Japanese book cloth to ballistic nylon in a complete range of colors. Mass-produced books are for high volume studios. Yours will be the only one there is. (Approx 10" x 12" with 24 pages).
• Parent Album - $800. This is basically a scaled-down version of your wedding album. They make great gifts for the parents of the couple, and in some cases, some couples display the parent album so they could keep the main album safely stored. And like the Wedding Album, you pick the material and I make it by hand.
• Engagement Session - $300. Any time before your wedding, we'll get together for a 3-hour portrait session. We can go to where you two first met, where you had your first kiss, or where you proposed/accepted, or wherever else you'd like. Online proofs are included ($200 for a disc).
• Second Shooter - $800. Add a second photographer. They can get anything that I might miss, especially if you have a larger wedding. That way while one of us is at the backdrop taking portraits, the other photographer won't miss Uncle Louie's chicken dance.

And now the packages ... I was going to give them numbers, but making your wedding bundle sound like a drive-thru meal seemed tacky.

• Basic - $2,000. This is the most popular. I'll shoot 12 hours, online gallery and an album. This is all most couples need.
• Basic Plus - $2,600. 12-hour coverage, online gallery, wedding album and a second photographer. Perfect if you know it's gonna be a busy day.
• Ultimate - $4,500. This is where I throw everything I've got at ya ... 12-hour coverage, online gallery, a wedding album, 2 parent albums, a second photographer, and an engagement session prior to the big day. Bachelor/bachellorette parties not included.

Events and Portraits

First, everyone gets an online gallery. Whether it's a theater student's headshots or the pictures from your family reunion. It's always an added convenience to see pictures online.

• All events/portrait sessions require a $75 deposit.
• Hourly Rate - $75 (2 hour minimum).
• High-Resolution Images - $25 each.
• All images from entire session - $120 extra per hour. Perfect for Events.

If you buy high resolution images, you also get a full copyright release. The images will be all yours to copy, email, print, or sell as you see fit.
