Professional Photography Costing Details

For wedding pricing please click here.

Fees and charges are per assignment. We feel it is important that professional services provide the client with a range of options from which to choose as opposed to the limiting straight-jacket approach that ties the fee to the shot. Our professional fee remains the same whether we shoot 30 or 300. This allows us the flexibility of choosing the most outstanding images from several great photographs.

Our quality is consistent, constant and exceptional. You can always reduce the resolution and size of a top-level image for varied applications such as publications and internet use. You cannot however, 'res-up' a low-resolution image for effective large format, say, magazine or billboard use if such a need arises in the future.

Our images are delivered at resolutions that span the entire conceivable usage gamut. We guarantee this. If we provide you with an image that you are unable to apply to a particular use, we will either make it usable for that application, reshoot the image, or refund to you the amount of your fee represented by that image.
