Wedding Pricing

I LOVE weddings! I enjoy everything about being a wedding photographer. I have been doing it for over 20 years and consider every wedding I have photographed a tremendous honor. I take great pride in the work that I do at a wedding and understand there is no value one can put on images of memories that can never be recaptured. The pictures of my own wedding are second only to my darling husband as my favorite part of our wedding. I realize that a couple who invests in quality professional wedding photography want work that will be lasting and treasured for generations.
I offer a very flexible pricing structure for my clients. I will customize any package to fit the needs and budget of each client. All wedding photography must be paid in full before the day of the wedding, but for those on a limited budget, there is always an option to purchase more after the wedding.
One feature that I include in my packages is the opportunity for you to purchase all images on CD with the Copyright Release. That means you own every image in digital format and all the rights and privileges to print, share and create as you want. I edit and enhance every image and provide you will a color-correct print to have for a standard to compare with any other prints you may make. This is something a lot of photographers don't offer and a huge factor you should consider when making a decision about your wedding photography.
There are several factors that one should consider when choosing a professional for their wedding photography. The FIRST is budget. What can you afford without going into debt? Make sure you really evaluate your priorities when paying for all the details of a wedding. Your pictures and spouse are the only thing that stay with you after the big day. Can you simplify some of the details to allow for a budget for the photographer you love? Some of the most simple weddings have been the most beautiful I have experienced. Remember you can purchase the copyright and albums from me after the wedding too! The SECOND consideration is style. Choose a photographer who has a well-rounded style. Trendy images are so fun and modern, but some classic style is well needed too. Being a professional still requires knowing how to achieve quality work. With digital enhancing and affordable consumer cameras widely available one can make most any image look good...but this is different than quality work. Don't settle for second-rate to justify those expensive cream puffs for your guests. The THIRD quality you want to look for is the photographer's personality. I have heard so many couples who say their day was overshadowed by a stressed-out ornery photographer. The photographer needs to be able to maintain a professional demeaner and control, all while making you laugh and giving you space to enjoy the day. The time spent taking pictures is a large part of your day and should be fun!
After considering my prices I hope you would call me to schedule a consultation. I would love to show you more of my work and put together a custom package for you.
