Your wedding day is almost as important to me as it is to you.  I thoroughly enjoy finding those unexpected, candid moments that tell the story of your wedding day, and capturing the details of the day that may otherwise go unnoticed.  Those kinds of images often tell the story of your day much better than posed formal portraits at the altar . . . though of course we will take those as well.

I offer several base packages of 5, 8 or 10 hours of photography coverage, but other arrangements can be made if these hours don't work for you. 

Each individual image is processed and adjusted.  In the past I offered a disc containing all final images as an additional item the couple could purchase.  Since every couple has wanted this,  I decided to include it in each package.  Each disc has a limited copyright release allowing you to obtain prints for your own personal use.  You are still welcome to order prints through me, or I can suggest a quality lab for you to use.  Keep in mind it is possible to get cheap prints made, but a professional lab will deliver prints of a higher quality.

     5 hours coverage:   $696

     8 hours coverage:   $996

     10 hours coverage:  $1186

     Additional coverage:  $180 per hour

   I try to schedule no more than one wedding per month.  A $150 payment is required
   to reserve the date for you.  Because the day is reserved and cannot be used for
   another couple should your plans change, this down payment is non-refundable.
   This amount is deducted from the base rate.  Half of the remaining amount is due
   3 months prior to the wedding date, with the balance due any time prior to, or on,
   the wedding date.

   To aide you in determining the number of hours of coverage you need, I usually
   recommend beginning the formal altar photographs 3 hours prior to the ceremony.
   This gives us 2.5 hour to get through the various groups, and also get everyone out
   of the church before guests begin arriving.  If you would like outdoor portraits,
   photographs of everyone getting ready, etc . . . plan on starting earlier.  Include an
   hour for the ceremony, signing the marriage license and leaving the church.  Then
   determine if you would like photography coverage at the reception, and for how long.
   Keep in mind hours of coverage are consecutive, and can not be split into 2 hours
   in the morning and 3 hours later on, etc.

   These rates include photographer's time and talent, travel to and from the
   ceremony and/or reception location (within 30 miles of Manchester), post
   processing of images, online viewing of images and a disc containing every final
   image.  Weddings further from Manchester are possible, but would also incur
   additional mileage costs.

   A minimum order of $25 applies to all print orders.  This is not included in the session
    fee.  However, there is no obligation to purchase prints.
