Price List, updated 01/2012:
Some folks only need a photographer for a few hours, Some need one all day. Therefore, I allow you to determine the fee, based on the time you need me there.
Weddings= $150/hr of attendance, album and files included!
The average wedding that I photograph needs me there for roughly 4 hours. I typically arrive an hour before the ceremony for separated bridal party photos, and typically stay for roughly 3 hours of the reception. If you do the math, 4 hours = $600, thousands less than most hotshots out there! What are they charging per hour, if you break it down? Should they make more per hour than a family doctor?!?
Terms: Non-refundable deposit of $200 required to lock in the day on my calendar (goes towards the balance). Balance to be paid at least 7 days before the ceremony. If you can't make that date, talk to me. What I want to avoid, is getting paid on the day of the ceremony. Most wedding vendors get paid before it, and I'm no different. Minimum wedding attendance is three hours. Trip charge for Estes Park, Longmont or Greeley of $50 (gas plus round trip time). I take multiple payments of any size, and you can pay by credit card through my PAYPAL account if you wish. You can mail me a check anytime, as long as the balance is paid before the wedding day. I try to make everything as easy as possible for all of us!
All weddings receive this package:
1. An 8x11 bound storybook wedding album with the photos printed right on the page, some in brown & white (Sepia), usually around 200 retouched photos, depending on event duration. You can save $100 if you eliminate the album (three hour minimum required for that option).
2. A CD or DVD with all of your retouched photos in both full resolution, and email size (two folders), usually 300+ photos.
4. A copyright release word document on the CD for the lab to see.
Most photographers are going to take you for a long ride on reprint fees. I give you the means to make your own, at the lab of your choice. I give you a bound storybook filled with meticulously perfected prints, and a CD of all the photos optimized for printing up to 16x20", as well as a folder of web-sized photos to immediately email to your friends and family!
The real key is quality photos at affordable prices, done your way by an experienced photographer (over 150 weddings). I don't come in with my own agenda- I'm here to give you exactly what you want, and nothing less. Want a ton of formals? No problem. Do you want only candid shots? I've done weddings that way too. It's your day, and nothing should conflict with that, including the photographer!
Portraits, Engagement pictures, Children in the park, Pet Photos, Lingerie, fine art = $250 per 1hr session (less $100 for files only).
I do most portrait shoots outdoors (hey, it IS Colorado, after all!), but I'm working on a studio. There is no extra charge for more people in the photos, so bring your family! I also allow 2 clothing changes if you wish.
Portrait package includes retouched photos on CD in full resolution as well as an email folder, as well as a bound book (imagine a book shelf filled with a book for every year!).
There are photographers out there who are charging $4000 plus reprints! Most charge $2200 plus reprints. As you can see, I offer you more flexibility for a whole lot less, and I sign the copy release over to you, so you can print all you want!
So what's the next step? Contact me, and we will get together to display more of my work, sign the wedding agreement, and I will lock the day on my calendar.
