$500 Wedding Photographer!
Can you really get a professional, reliable and talented full-day wedding photographer for $500? ABSOLUTELY!
So what’s the catch? Surely there has to be a catch? Well, I primarily photograph weddings that are small and intimate which is 15 people or less at the ceremony and reception. That’s it. No fine print. No tricks, ifs, ands, or buts. You can expect me to be your photographer for the full day. I will arrive ahead of schedule to capture any photo you desire and those you didn’t think of. Your make-up session? I’m there. Your future husband goofing around with the groomsmen? I’m there. Or putting on his tie? I’m there. Laughter with your bridesmaids in reflection of your years of friendship? I’m there. And, all those details you couldn’t think of because you were a little predisposed? I’ll have that covered too.
Is $500 still over your budget? I offer $300 packages that last 4 hours or less which, for some, is plenty of time for the ceremony and reception. Commonly these are very small and intimate with just the closest of friends and family. The smallest wedding I’ve shot? 4 people plus the officiant.

Affordable Event Photography
Event photography is commonly offered in 1/2 day or full-day packages. I will arrive prior to the start of the event and will not leave until my commitment is fulfilled. Therefore, you get me for the full time booked. 1/2 day events (4 hours) are $800. Full-day events (8 hours) are $1,250. Do you have an event less than 4 hours in length? Please contact me and let's discuss your unique situation.
Why are events more expensive than weddings, you ask? The wedding packages I offer are capped at a 15 person max. Events do not have a cap on head count. (However, for groups larger than 100 people, pricing might increase. Please contact me for details.) The other reason events cost more is that I typically take 3 to 4 times more photos for events. Weddings are very structured and the number of photos taken is reduced as my attention is primarily on the bride and groom. So, for example, once I photograph the bride at the altar I don't need 10 more shots of her at the altar. With events, everyone is typically the primary subject so I try to photograph everyone multiple times as they mingle throughout the event.
