Wedding Packages

I have viewed other Photographers prices, and tried to come up with a way to be comparable and competitive.  Most Photographers want to charge by the hour.  I don't see how this is possible.  Your wedding day should not be an event limited to hours, since it lasts all day and will be remembered for the rest of your life.  Most Photographers charge a certain dollar amount for 4 hours of coverage, or for 8 hours coverage.  Should your wedding day be limited by time?  I normally take between 300 and 600 photos with every package I offer.  Most weddings take, from the time I agree to be there until you and I are satisfied, 5 to 8 Hours.

I offer all day coverage, and provide you with a DVD viewable slide show of all photos taken.  Once the important shots that I think are needed are taken, I will contact you and ask if you have any other shots.  I will not leave until you are satisfied.  If your event will take more than one day, let me know, I can do up to 1000 photos per day, but I will require $200.00 per day outside of the main event day.  (For example, if you require shots at the rehearsal dinner, it would cost an additional $200.00 for coverage of that event.)

I will travel.  If I travel over 1 hour from my Marietta, Ohio location, I charge $50.00 per hour travel time.  The same fee will be expected for the return trip.  (For example, if the wedding is to be performed in Columbus Ohio, it takes me approximately 2 hours to get to Columbus from Marietta.  I would charge 2 hours travel for the round trip.  1 Hour up and 1 Hour back, for a total of $100.00 travel pay on top of the wedding package.)

A $250.00 non-refundable deposit is required to book your wedding date. This deposit will go towards the amount of your package.  The remainder of your package is due no later than the day of the wedding.  Travel pay is expected with the remainder of the package.

Approximately 4 weeks will be required for presentation of the proofs CD and/or the DVD slide show of the wedding.  Once you view the proofs CD allow 2 weeks for delivery of photo proofs and or enlargements, once chosen. 

You may be able to find someone to take your wedding photos at a lower rate, but I spend many hours after the wedding making sure every photo is the best it can be.  I don't just come to your wedding shoot photos, and then present them to you.  After the event is done, I will spend an additional 40 to 80 hours editing your photos and making your DVD.  I remove blemishes, lighten or darken each photo, correct color, copy photos to black and white, and make enhancements to give each photo the effect it deserves to be included in your memories.

With every package there are normally 300 to 600 photos taken by one photographer.  You could end up with a potential of 1000 photos with black and whites and digital enhancements.

With two photographers, normally 450 to 750 photos are taken.  With this option you could end up with 700 to 1300 photos with back and whites and digital enhancements.

I can provide an additional photographer, but need to know as soon as possible, if you want this option.  An additional photographer  requires an additional $300 dollar fee on top of any package ordered.

 View your Wedding photos on your own Web page

For an additional $50.00 I will post all of your photos from your wedding on a web site, I will only make viewable for you.  This is a great way to show your photos to family members who live far away, and may not see your photo album or CD of proofs for some time.  I will keep these posted for up to 3 months.  After that time, I will give you warning that the site will expire.

 

 

Just a note,

The cherished moments of your wedding day will be photographed for you and your family to view for years to come.  The photos will include all traditional wedding shots along with every possible candid shot.  Your ideas for what you expect are of most importance.  Hence, the name, Strickley 4 U. 

Most Wedding Photographers wish to limit their prices to the time they spend taking your photographs.  This is not the case with us.  We plan only one wedding per day and concentrate on you.  The day of your wedding is yours and we will spend whatever amount of time it takes to make your photographs right for you.  You are not just a job, but are the purpose of generating a golden memory that will last for ages.  Our goal is to produce lasting memories through our photographs that you will cherish and share with others throughout the years of your marriage.

 The only way to capture your personality and to give you the memories you deserve is to know you as a person.  For these reasons, a consultation should be scheduled prior to the wedding day.  Ideas can be discussed and our knowledge of one another will ease some of the wedding day jitters.  We wish you to feel as comfortable as possible during the photographic process.  After all it is the biggest day of your life.  A questionnaire will be sent via email or mail, (email is faster) which will help in our knowledge of one another.
