WDS: Please describe your Professional Biographical Background.
Will has been photography weddings in the St. Louis area for 16 years and those have been growing years. They've included involvement with professional photography organizations and studying with internationally known photographers. As a result, Will has been chosen by local brides to be in the "Best of" category in the Knot wedding magazine, both in 2008 and 2008/2009. But what Will is most excited about is the growth in his skills in making photographs that are sensitive, real, and show the beauty of the inner person.
WDS: What is your price range? Overtime or per hour rate?
My regular price range is $2900 to $3500, but that can be modified depending on the couple's needs. That's for a typical wedding day, starting photography a couple of hours before the ceremony, and going into the reception about three hours. It includes all of the pictures, and the $2900 option includes high resolution files with copyrights, an engagement portrait session with up to $280 credit toward engagement portrait prints. The $3500 option includes a 40 to 50 page library bound album.
WDS: What are the deposit and payment arrangements?
I ask for a $500 retainer when I'm asked to reserve the date. The balance is due ten days prior to the wedding ceremony.
WDS: How long before they see all proofs online or in print?
The proofs will be ready online within two weeks of the wedding date.
WDS: Will you give them the negatives (or high-res DVD) or what is the charge?
A high-res DVD is included in some packages. If it's not included, it can be purchased at a discount.
WDS: Generally St. Louis brides are looking for about 10 hours of coverage, a second shooter, at least a 20 page album, and DVD of high resolution images. What price range would that put a client at with your company?
Starting at $3265 depending on album options.
