Wedding Photography Service & Package

Two photographers, up to 10 hours coverage, 400+ full-resolution, copyright released and enhanced images provided to you on two M-Discs in each of three disc albums, online viewing and downloading of images for family and friends for 60 days, design and online hosting of 20 page digital wedding album for one year and you also receive all the full resolution album page designs on M-Disc.  Your 4K wedding album video version also created and hosted on our YouTube Channel indefinitely. 

$1,500.



Included in the wedding photography package are three Deluxe black and/or white padded M-Disc photo albums. Typically one album for each set of parents and one for the Bride & Groom. Each photo disc album contains two M-Discs with all your wedding day images which have been edited, enhanced and provided to you in full-resolution with personal use copyright release. I guarantee in the wedding photography contract to provide at least 400 images of your wedding day. Since you get two photographers up to 10 hours the number of images may well reach over 600 to even over 800 images. As long as there is action, activities, groups, festivities and anything else which should be photographed during the time of up to 10 hours - our goal is to capture it and edit down to the best images to provide in your M-Disc albums.  My work horse camera is 42 megapixel and back-ups and 2nd shooter camera is 24 megapixel. So we have to provide your images on the two M-Discs in each of the three M-Disc albums you receive to get all the images archived the best way for you. M-Discs are the truly best technology at this time to help ensure your Wedding Day images are archived for a long time.


Optional Add Ons:

Deluxe Portrait Session for Engagement or Bridal on Contract: $100. Regular current price if ordered later $150.


Printed & Assembled Wedding Album: Depending album size, number of your favorite images selected, covers, cameo or not, cover imprinting, etc., price ranges from $150 to over $1,000.  If you decide to purchase a physical wedding album or book and want to consider what I offer, I'm more than happy to provide you a price quote based on your preferences and taste. This is a free wedding album consultation with no obligation on your part.

All wedding photography packages we offer includes three deluxe padded M-Disc albums each containing two M-Discs to archive all the wedding day images.  These M-Disc albums are typically provided to parents and the Bride & Groom.

I have attained Vimeo Expert certification so I can quickly place your 4K wedding album video on Vimeo for advertising free hosting.  There is a nominal flat one-time fee I charge for Vimeo hosting.  Your wedding album video I will host on my YouTube Channel indefinitely and without any extra charge.

Which "Style" of Photo Image Do You Prefer?

Just tell us your preferance in advance and we can provide all your full resolution, enhanced and copyright released JPEGs to you according to your preference.


Photographer's shooting with cameras offering High Dynamic Range where detail is acceptable across all tones probably produces the best overall photographs.  But again, your own artistic vision and preferences may be different.

Tips for Photography Pros shooting Wide Open

Normal Exposure is not "dark shooting".  It is preserving all the tones so that you may see details in the bride's dress, for example.  Most details in the highlights are retained and details in the midtones are intact with shadow tones having an appropriate amount of detail.  

Light & Airy ("open shooting").  This style has grown in popularity over the past several years.  While details are usually lost in the highlight areas of the image, many people prefer that to darker midtones.  This is shooting over-exposed.
