Packages

We pride ourselves in the ability to offer affordable pricing to our clients. Most photographer’s charge a nominal “sitting fee” which can look deceptive at first glance. Once you take a look at their charges for prints and reproductions, and read their terms of usage for your images, you soon realize that is where they make their profits. In most cases, you are forced to order your prints directly from the photographer at whatever markup they have decided to charge you, and you must have their permission for each and every use of the photos. They, on the other hand, are paying peanuts to have your images printed.

Most professional photographers use online print services like Mpix. Here’s an example of the prices photographers are paying to have your images printed:

Mpix Printing Prices

Surprised? Now compare the above prices with the per-print price sheet you’ll get from most photographers. Our business model simply takes out that exhorbitant middle man fee and gives control of your images back to you.

Our pricing represents a one-time fee. You determine where you’ll get your images printed, and you’re free to print as many as you want once you receive your images on a flash media stick. (We do highly recommend Mpix to our customers, by the way, and anyone can order from them.) Make wall portraits, multiple prints, use them on your invitations, thank you notes and Christmas cards. Upload them to Facebook, shutterfly, photobucket, flickr or your own blog or Web site. And never, at any time, will you receive an image from us with an ugly watermark stamped across it. We think that spoils the fun.

When you consider all of this, our pricing represents a substantial savings and gives you total control of your images now and in the future.

Weddings

We believe the most meaningful images of your wedding day will be those unposed, spontaneous moments when no one was aware of the camera. We are quiet and unobtrusive as we move along in the background to cover every important moment of your special day. You’ll hardly notice we’re there, and that’s the way it should be. We use flash only when absolutely necessary, and all of our equipment is quiet. Although our style is photojournalistic, we also include the traditional posed group images.

We ask that you contact us as far in advance of your wedding date as possible to ensure our availability. A retainer of half the total amount of our fee is required to save the date. We then meet with you in person to discuss plans for your unique wedding day, tailoring our services to meet your specific needs and vision. We pride ourselves on making each couple’s photo story unique and reflective of their personal taste and style. We’ll ask the right questions to make the process seamless, as stress-free as possible, and even fun. (Yes, we believe that planning your wedding should actually be fun.)

Next we’ll set up an engagement sitting for the couple at a location of your choosing. This session represents no additional charge, and is very important for several reasons:

  • It gives us the opportunity to become better acquainted with you as a couple and helps you feel comfortable with us so we’re not strangers on your wedding day.
  • The engagement session provides you with some lovely images that you may use to announce your wedding date. Some couples elect to use these images in their printed wedding materials.
  • We learn valuable information about you which will help us plan more efficiently for your wedding day.
  • It’s fun! This session occurs when the bride and groom are in a relaxed and playful mood, minus the typical wedding day stresses.
  • We take time and care in processing and retouching each of your precious images. You’ll receive your images approximately 6-8 weeks after the wedding.

Your customized package can also include a “Trash the Dress” session when you return from the honeymoon.

Because each couple’s wedding and needs are unique, we price our services on an individual basis. Please contact us to discuss a customized plan for your special day.

As a special gift to our 2012 brides, we will be including a free bridal session 1-2 weeks prior to the wedding date. This is a chance for the bride to pose alone in her gown for some memorable portraits. (Makes a wonderful gift to the groom!)
