Wedding Studio Concept

Packages & pricing

Three packages, priced openly, none of them designed as a ladder to climb.

The hourly rate works out roughly the same across all three. The longer days drop the per-hour cost only slightly. We would rather price honestly than build an upgrade path that pretends to be a discount.

A small honest note

The number on the page is the number we shoot for.

We do not run sales. A discount in spring would only be a tax on the couples booking in fall. The studio is small enough that the math has to behave — and we would rather be a little less competitive on price than build a ladder of packages designed to push you up it.

The three packages

Six hours, nine hours, or nine hours with a finished album.

The differences are coverage hours, second-shooter inclusion, and whether the album is part of the package or ordered later. Everything else is the same across all three: the same photographer, the same editor, the same delivery rhythm.

The Half Day — $4,400

Six hours, one photographer

Lead photographer only. Roughly 350 to 450 finished frames. Online gallery, full-resolution downloads. The right fit for courthouse weddings, elopements, and intimate dinners under fifty guests.

The Full Day — $6,800

Nine hours, two photographers

Lead and second photographer. 700 to 900 finished frames. Online gallery and a printed proof book. The package the largest share of our weddings book.

The Full Day with Album — $8,400

Same coverage, finished album

Same nine hours and two photographers. Adds a ten-inch fine-art album, thirty spreads, leather binding. Three rounds of design revisions, ships eight to twelve weeks after the wedding.

What is and is not included

A small table, so there is nothing to find later.

We try to keep the contract short. The clearest version of that promise is the table below.

A word on pricing

We do not run sales, and we are open about why.

The number on the page is the number we shoot for. A discount in spring would only be a tax on the couples booking in fall. The studio is small enough that the math has to behave.
