The Wedding Day:
From hourly rates to full day packages, I offer a variety of wedding services.
For small weddings, vow renewal ceremony or a commitment ceremony, I offer hourly rates. Just because it is not a large event, does not mean you should not have professional photos to treasure.
The full wedding package includes photography by me and a professional assistant. It usually starts at the beginning of the day when you arrive at the church to prepare for the ceremony and runs until your family and friends fill the dance floor. The rates vary slightly by the size of the wedding and the time commitment to make sure your day is complete.
The photos include, but are not limited to, preparation photos, the posed photos and the fun candid photos, there are also the quiet moments of contemplation, the special moments with family members, the first look photos, even a short boudoir session, when you are feeling your most beautiful, can be arranged. We are prepared to be there until all of the reception activities are done and the dancing at the reception is in full swing.
If there are any special customs during the wedding or reception I am more than happy to oblige. I took photos at a wedding where the bride was from Germany. It is customary for the bride to be kidnapped and the groom to rescue her. It was so much fun for all since her groom was a Sheriff's detective and one of his fellow officers took her away in handcuffs. That is just one example.
Related photography sessions:
I also offer engagement photo sessions. It is a good way for us to get to know each other better and to build a relationship before the big day. Furry family members are welcome. Also, if there is to be a combined family and you want young children included, you can bring them as well. However, I require having a family member ready to pick them up, so we can focus on photos of just the two of you.
FAQS:
I want more information, how do I contact you?
Contact me by email or phone listed on my website with your contact information. I prefer to have a meeting in person to go through the details of what you want and describe to you in detail what I can provide. If we both feel that I am a good fit, personally and artistically, for your big day, we can start discussing the business details.
Will my date be held?
Your wedding date is officially reserved upon receipt of the agreed upon retainer and the signed contract that I provide.
Is the retainer refundable?
The retainer is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation. If you change your date, and I am available, I will lock in your new date.
How are images given to us?
The day of the event, we will take a few photos to be immediately emailed to you immediately after the event for social media. The remaining images will be edited and given to you on thumb drives, with a full release for reproduction, printing, posting on social media and other usage. Family and friends will have access to them on my website. I do provide a 4x6" print of each image.
Are there limitations on the type of wedding you will photograph?
I do not have limitations, I feel everyone should have photographs on that special day. I will cover elopements, civil ceremonies, ceremonies for all religions and denominations be it outdoors, in a church, temple, synagogue, or mosque, etc. I also cover LGBT ceremonies and/or marriages.
