Wedding Photography

We are full-time professional photographers with years of experience. We cover your wedding from “getting ready” to the last formal event of your reception (cake cutting, garter toss, etc.). Includes transportation and travel time, camera equipment (and backups), unlimited exposures taken, all the post processing and full professional liability insurance. Our travel time to the first location, and from the final location do not count against your hours of photography. Travel time which is part of the wedding day (from church to reception location, for example, is considered part of the shooting time).

After the wedding, we typically spend an additional two to five hours processing and editing your photos for each hour of shooting you purchased.  All the best images from your wedding (typically between 500 and 800) are professionally edited: cropped, adjusted for brightness and contrast, color corrected, and prepared for professional lab printing. Retouching of the photos (body slimming, blemish removal, stretch mark removal, double chin removal, etc.) is NOT included in any of our packages, but is available for $25 per photo.

We deliver the photos to you on a USB thumb drive via Fed Ex, in high resolution with no logo or watermark on the photos, suitable for printing, posting to Facebook, etc. We include a usage license that lets you print, publish, and distribute your wedding pictures as you wish, without any need for further permission from, or payment to our studio. Finally, all the best images from your wedding are posted in a gallery on the internet – the perfect way for you and your guests to view, download and make prints of your images! Direct ordering of prints from our high-quality, fast, and inexpensive lab. Typically available within three weeks of your wedding and available for at least one year.

All prices shown include transportation, travel, shipping, with insurance, handling and delivery. Prices are for weddings within 75-ish miles of PDX airport – reasonable travel fees may be added for more distant destinations. There are no hidden costs or fees. All turnaround and delivery times are conservative estimates, but are not guarantees. Actual time depends on workload, time of year and other factors. All offers subject to change and availability. 

You can book us as far as two years in advance, or as little as one day before your wedding (subject to our availability, of course!).
 
To be fair to everyone, we book weddings strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. A non-refundable retainer payment guarantees your date and removes it from our availability calendar. The retainer is applied in full to your final balance. After you select a set of products and services, we prepare a contract that describes the agreement between us in detail. Payment of the final balance is due three weeks before the wedding date. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards.

In the absence of a retainer payment or signed contract, all offers, prices and availability are subject to change or withdrawal without notice or obligation. Of course, once we receive your retainer payment and signed contract, the date is yours, and the quoted prices and deliverables are “locked in” and will not change, even if we raise our prices or change our packages before your wedding day.
