Fairly strict on my end so that I can provide you with amazing results in a timely manner. For precautionary measures, 85% of the payment must be made 1 month before the day of the shoot, with the final amount being paid after I showcase a select few watermarked shots. This guarantees you that I have delivered the expected results and guarantees myself the final payment upon proof of work expectations met.

Everyone’s timeline is different, and ultimately, I do my best to get wedding photography back within three weeks of the shoot date. I write a strict contract that’s accessible through Adobe and send it through your email for safekeeping. I take my work and my work ethic seriously and only aim to put smiles on my client’s faces with timely and high-quality results.

The amount of hours needed for wedding photography varies greatly depending on the type of wedding you’re having and your budget. Elopements are still technically weddings as they involve the ceremony and small celebrations. An elopement may only need 2 hours of coverage.

Are 6 hours of wedding photography enough?

6 hours is a great amount of time for wedding photography. Most wedding ceremonies start at 4, so 3:30-9:30 is a great period of time to capture just about everything involving the wedding. However, some brides opt to have wedding photographers come 1 to 2 hours early to capture the venue, the process of getting ready, and overall tell a story of your most special day. By giving your wedding photographer those 2 extra hours, you’re ensuring they really grab the essence of your day, your wedding location, and every little detail that you know you’d love to see in the finished digital photo album.

The price varies, and it’s not uncommon to see prices exceeding $4,500 for a full-day shoot. Packages can get confusing, so I make my pricing clear and simple to follow.

• $450 an hour for the first 4 hours
• $250 an hour for the following 4 hours
• Travel fees are the base value of gas and mileage – I don’t charge $450 for me to drive to your location – it’s insane that some people do that
• I offer destination photography if you’d like to work with someone in your area or from your country if you’re traveling overseas
  • If this is the case, you must cover the cost of my hotel (it must be a safe hotel in a safe area)
  • You must cover the cost of my flight with a reputable airline (Spirit and Frontier are not reputable)
  • Pricing is slightly higher for destination photography

What comes with my services:

• Photography by an FAA Licensed Part 107 Pilot
• Depending on hours on site, anywhere between 200 to 600 High-Quality Images of Your Special Day via Google Drive or USB
• Print-Quality Images for Online Canvas Orders

I’ve seen other people offer second photographers in wedding photography packages – and to be completely honest, that’s often unnecessary. If you want a secondary photographer, I’m happy to help you vet them. In my experience, I’ve found they offer very little added value and extra added expense on already stressed brides. I want to help you make your day easy and as stress-free as possible – usually, the more people, the more discord.
