Smaller Service Package Described at bottom of page.
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 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. 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. Both engagement and bridal portrait sessions may consist of studio as well as outdoor in our Portrait Park or other beautiful location within 20 miles of studio.
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. Follow us on X.

A Few Words about Wedding Photography Pricing
A Few Words about Wedding Photography Pricing
The #1 priority is to hire a wedding photographer who's work you admire and truly appreciate. The price any photographer charges is based on a myriad of factors. One concern some people have is whether a photographer might be "too cheap". That is a relative judgement call. Perhaps other photographers in the same market are priced "too expensive". So what is a "cheap photographer"? As long as the photographer is established, is licensed and insured has a portfolio of work which show years of experience and craft - you may just be looking at the wedding photographer of your dreams!
Years of dedication is a premium in many ways - most often driven by passion and love for the craft - not money. I also have a portrait studio and multimedia lab I operate which means I don't have to charge as much money for my wedding photography services in order for my business to provide full-time income. This also provides me the privilege of booking only one wedding per weekend and only two weddings per month so my focus and all my resources are on your own Wedding Day.
My full service portrait/wedding studio and multimedia lab on-premises enables me to deliver a broader range of higher Quality services at very competitive pricing. Top Class Portraits™ has earned and maintained BBB Rating A+ over 22 years.
