I think pricing should be simple and not have you looking through several packages to figure out out how much you should order, and who gets to preview your pictures to buy on a website.

I also believe that the wedding is yours and so the pictures I take should be yours as well.

When you hire me,  I will give you the pictures,  so you have the flexibility to go wherever you want to print and can create whatever books or collages you want. No need to go to a designated website to pick and choose which photos you get to have! And  you get to share the pictures with whomever you choose. The only request would be that you can tag my name or photography business when you post them to social media. 

I also like to spend time with you as that helps in getting the best shots- so I come during your preparation, cover ceremony, reception and be with you all the way up until you leave. That can be up to ten hours of time getting all the shots you want. 

And, to go even further, if I can come to the rehearsal dinner,  I like to do that. It gives me a chance to preview the venue, meet whomever is officiating the ceremony, meet your wedding party before the day so they can also feel more comfortable with me, and even capture some fun pre wedding day pictures with your friends and family.

The cost of this is a flat fee of $3,000.00

Other fees may need be included regarding travel time if its more than 50 miles from lake Stevens, if any ferries are required for travel, and any lodging that may occur depending on where the wedding location is. These travel fees would be determined and agreed upon ahead of time and included in the contract. 

If you are not wanting a full coverage experience package, and wish to only have ceremony or reception coverage, with no or very limited number of wedding party portraits, let me know and we can discuss an hourly rate that will also be based on location and amount of time and what specifically you are requesting. 

A downpayment to hold me as your photographer is required ahead of time and that amount will also be discussed and included in the final contract.
 

I look forward to hearing from you and being hired to be part of your special day.

Take care,

Heather Skillman
