(Required) Initial Consultation
- Free
Initial
consultations: Up to one hour; for getting to know one another and talking
about
the event(s) with regard to size, location, and whether there will be
any pre-
or post- events needing coverage.
Deposit
When
you decide to commit to
our services you will receive a price quote listing all services and
products discussed
at the initial consultation. After
review (and revisions if needed) you will receive a contract to be
signed and
returned with a non-refundable deposit of 30%.
Extended Services
If
during the course of an
event it turns out there’s anything I can help with, for example your
nephew
can’t quite get the sound system hooked up or Uncle Bob is mystified by
the
array of camcorders to be used, assistance can be rendered at the
expense of a
few photos not being taken. $50
per
service.
Additional Hours
Many
of the photo packages
come with a maximum number of hours of coverage. This can be extended
in many
instances for $100 per hour.
Booked Time Caveat
During
all events,
photography staff will take necessary (and reasonable) breaks to deal
with
pressing personal business, as well as snack/meal breaks. Please let the staff know
ahead of time if
they are invited to have the food and drink provided to other event
participants
or if they will have to provide their own.
Payment
The
remaining balance of the
contract amount is due at least two weeks prior to the first event. Extended services
performed will be invoiced immediately
after the event and payment in full must be received prior to delivery
of
proofs or other products ordered.
Deliverables
Thumbnail proofs are provided as web galleries OR 3x5 print sheets on basic matte paper. High resolution originals as well as touched-up versions (e.g. color levels, red eye, etc. - referred to in these pages as "basic enhancement") suitable for desktop wallpaper or emailing to family or friends are all delivered on a data CD or DVD.
Post-Event Products
Once
the proofs have been
provided and reviewed you may wish to have a number of them printed on
photo-quality or other specialty paper or even have a few of them
turned into
custom items like mousepads or t-shirt transfers.
Additionally, sets of them can be made into
screensavers or slideshows complete with transitions and music for use
on your
pc or console DVD player. Please

Event Descriptions
Pre-Event Test Shoot
This
is to test how your
choice of attire, makeup and hair style will look in print. One hour of portrait style coverage and
basic touched-up web
proofs only. $100
per session.
Pre-Wedding Events
Most
of these events share
similar date and time schedules and are often held on a Friday or a
Saturday, start mid-to late afternoon, and run for a few hours. Examples are engagement
parties, rehearsals,
dinners, bachelor parties, and bridal showers.
2-3 hours of photo journalistic style coverage - $400.
Wedding Photography
Package prices are based on
general complexity of the ceremony, number of attendees, number of
events
before and after, and feature unlimited photos in the specified
coverage time. All packages feature a mix of photo journalistic and portrait-style coverage.
BOXED WINE
Basic
informal event
attended by a small number of friends and relations in a simple
setting, some
casual photo ops before and after (snacks, reception, etc.), portraits
right
after the ceremony. 1-2
hours of
coverage - $350.
WHITE ZINFANDEL
More formal than the simplest event but “business casual” is the dress code. No wedding party or MOH and BM only. Usually takes place at some location not quite as decorous as a hotel or bed and breakfast. Casual and posed photos before and after the ceremony and reception photos as it happens. 3-4 hours of coverage - $700.
CHARDONNAY
Not
quite as formal as a
church wedding (or could be a chapel wedding.) Smaller
wedding party such as Maid of Honor
and Best Man only. The
ladies are still
in dresses/gowns and the gentlemen in suits/tuxes. The
booking of a nice bed and breakfast would be
one example.
Photos begin with site and setup shots prior to the
ceremony and
continue through the evening. 5-6 of coverage - $1,000.
The
most formal of events
typically taking place in a church or at a more substantial and
elaborate
location. Large
wedding party with formal
gowns and tuxes. Photos
begin with
bride/groom preparations and site setup and continues till the reception is winding down. 7-8 hours of
coverage - $1,400.
