Ashley & Jesse!



























Congratulations Ashley & Jesse!

Why so low?

Lately, I have been getting the question "How can your prices be under 2k and still have good quality work?" The first, and most apparent reason is that while some of my packages come with a photo storybook, they do not include a traditional wedding album. These traditional-style wedding albums, with leather bound covers, and 2mm thick pages tend to be costly. Since I don’t include them in all of my packages, this allows me to offer more affordable pricing to my clients. Don’t get me wrong, you are able to purchase any album with any package, I just don’t include them in the price, so I can be more flexible. So if you add an album and some prints to my "Basic Package" it can easily be close to 2k.

I think it goes without saying that I love what I do. Another reason I like to keep my pricing low is so I am able to work more, do what I love more frequently. I would much rather work more and charge less, than work less and charge more. Also keep in mind that what you’re paying for is my total package. The prices I offer aren’t just for the time I spend with you on your wedding day, but also for the time I put into the photos and books you will receive after everything is completed. Which is around a 2-3 month turn-around. Beware of photographers that want to charge you an arm and a leg for having to stay an extra hour at your wedding.

I know how expensive weddings can end up being, but why does every aspect need to be pricey? The truth is, it doesn’t. I offer top-notch, superior quality photographs for a reasonable price. Just because you’re not super-rich, doesn’t mean you can’t have fabulous memories from your most special day, right?
