An important difference between most wedding photographers and me is that the clients own the images. That means the cost of hiring me includes the cost of ownership of all images, making it possible to make prints at wholesale costs from whomever you want. In the end, this gives my clients more flexibility and saves them money.

I recently lowered my price from a long held $2,900 to reflect the economy and also in hopes of shooting more weddings (we have twins on the way!).

Images are shot digitally with professional Nikon equipment and burned to archival DVD's. I keep an identical back-up copy for one year in case yours are damaged or lost.

Included in the flat rate is a bound book made up of 8x10 contact sheets of all images. Contact sheet files are included on CD's. Since you own all the images, you can print extra books and burn extra DVD's for friends and family. Or, even better, just upload all the files to Shutterly of Google’s WebAlbums to allow your friends to view them and make inexpensive prints at any size at discounted prices.

I ask for a $500 deposit to secure the date.

You're welcome to call me anytime with questions about prices, packages, or to set up a time to meet. I realize there are many choices for wedding photography and I encourage couples to find a photographer they feel most comfortable with. Setting up a meeting also allows me to show recent weddings I've photographed and learn more about you and your expectations. Please call or write anytime, and good luck planning!
