Planning a wedding is stressful, I get it. It is also expensive! Sometimes it can seem overwhelming. But I have some really awesome news to share with you! You can pay for your wedding photography with installments, just like PayPal pay or similar services, but there's no interest charged! It can be broken down into 4 to 6 installments.
I require a 25% non-refundable deposit to secure your date. The remaining 75% is due one (1) month prior to your wedding date. However, it can be sooner. My bookkeeping software allows me to break down your balance into payments, up to 6. You have the option to pay everything at once, or do 25% when we sign your contract then 75% before the wedding; 25% x 4 payments; or 25% + 15%x6 payments. If you decide to do multiple payments, they are automatically debited from your account on a date of your choosing.
If for some reason you are planning things in a rush and getting married at the last minute, I can still work with you on payments. Some things will change on delivery. The same payment terms apply as above. The only things that will change are I will not edit your images nor will I deliver your images to you until your final balance has been paid in full.
Of course! If we have planned for a long day (8 hours +), the price of an additional photographer is automatically included in your package. However, an additional photographer can be added to any wedding or elopement package for an additional fee. This can be discussed at your consultation.
I never give you a specific number. Because each event is different and there are many different factors. You can typically expect to receive approximately 35-40 images per hour of coverage. With that being said, I firmly believe in quality of my work over the quantity of images I return to you. Therefore, you may not necessarily receive that number of images per hour of coverage of your big day! But I can guarantee the ones you do receive will be lasting memories.
No, sales tax is NOT included in the prices in my online store. All prices are subject to WV 6% sales tax, it will be added to your final total.
Travel costs are not included in the base prices for wedding packages. I will provide this information to you at your consultation. I cannot quote this information to you until I know where exactly your wedding is located and what type of expenses I will incur.
Think about it as the pre-wedding warm up. You know the time before a big game when the team is doing their warm-up exercises? Yeah, something like that. Pick out somewhere that is important or special to the both of you. If no where in particular comes to mind, just pick somewhere pretty that you like. Put on some comfy but classy clothes and let me and my camera do the rest.
This is where you show off that dress! This is like the fashion show that puts New York and Paris to shame. It can be done before your wedding or immediately following the ceremony. These are typically the pictures that will hang on the living room or family room walls for years to come. The pictures mom and dad show off to their friends and extended family and brag about how beautiful their daughter looked in the perfect dress she finally found!
Depending on when (what season/time of year) your wedding is, it can take as long as 6-8 weeks for me to get your images edited and uploaded to your gallery. I will remain in contact with you during each phase of your project. If there are any unforeseen delays, I will let you know immediately.
Well, the celebrating doesn't have to stop with the wedding! On your first wedding milestone, we come back together and have a nice couples session. The possibilites are endless. We can shoot where you first met, your home together, where you were married, engaged or just about anywhere. If there's a little one in the midst of things we can include him or her too! Get yourselves all fancied up or warm and cozied up, I'll leave the wardrobe choices up to you!
I am located in Nicholas County, West Virgina. The central part of the state. I have done weddings from Kanawha to Randolph County and anywhere in between. I am always up for an adventure. We can discuss travel and location at your consultation!
I do a little of both. Sometimes the best shots are those that aren't planned. If there are certain shots you would like for me to get for you, we can discuss those at your consultation as well, I have a checklist for you to look over.
However, your "formal" shots, those with your bridal party, etc. will mostly be posed.
You are under no obligation to place an order through me. I do try to make the process easy for you if you decide to do so. You can place your order directly through your gallery.
While you may get prints cheaper elsewhere, you are risking low color, clarity, poor quality material and just generally poor quality products. What I'm saying is, I can't guarantee something you order from a 3rd party, if you order something from your gallery and it doesn't look right, I will replace it at no cost to you! If you order from a 3rd party - that's not something I can replace, I'm sorry.
