Wedding Investment
Elopements
Did you plan on just a quick back yard wedding and don't want a full day package? I usually suggest 2-3 hours of coverage which would be $650-$800 + tax. We would fit the hours to cover what you want most but typically this set up like so.
1hr ceremony the extra time rolls into formal family pictures.
2nd hour is also used for family pictures as well a bride and groom formal pictures, 3rd hour is for larger families.
Includes 60-100 edited images per hour
Typical Size 6-8 hour
This is what I typically suggest if you are trying to stay on a close budget. Here is how I like to break it down.
1 hour of getting ready. Bride, Groom Plus detail shots. First look if you would like to do this. (2nd photographer needed if groom is in a different location)
1 Hour Ceremony. Most ceremonies do not take an hour, but this covers if anything is running behind or adds some time to the next process. (Except Catholic/Greek services typically take 1hr)
1 hour of formal pictures. All the wedding party and family that you want in your photos. Also, Bride and groom alone formals.
2 hours of reception. This is ok if you plan to hurry the DJ for one after another events dances, cake cutting, garter/bouquet toss, toast, etc.
This scenario is 5 hours and would run you about $1250+ Tax.
Includes 60-100 edited images per hour

FAQ
How many pictures will we receive?
For Weddings +/- 60/hr booked
For all other sessions it depends on the package you chose. No worries though if you'd like to add any images on they are just $10.
What’s the best time to have a session?
2-3 hours before sunset and sunset itself. Early morning before 11 is good too.
How should we dress for our family session?
This applies to Family sessions.
Pinterest is a great source for current fashion trends. Make sure you pick clothing that you are comfortable in and try not to exact match colors. for instance.
"everyone wear a navy shirt" This can look ok for certain but you all sort of blend together.
We don’t feel very confident in front of the camera, is that ok?
Of course! I make the session fun and after a few corny jokes, most people relax. It's my job to get you relaxed and comfortable.
