Their skill in navigating various lighting conditions, attention to detail, and artistic vision guarantees stunning, timeless images that vividly recount the unique story of your wedding, preserving memories that will last a lifetime.
HOW MANY PHOTOS CAN WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE? HOW DO WE GET THEM?
For weddings, a standard 8 hour day typically yields around 500-750 edited photos. Portrait & engagement sessions yield approximately 40-50 edited photos per hour of shooting time. Your photos will be delivered in a private online gallery with a PIN to download your images for sharing and printing.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, check, credit/debit card, venmo, paypal and ACH bank payments.
A non-refundable retainer fee of 1/3 the cost of the chosen package is required to hold the date of your wedding. No date is reserved until a retainer is received. The balance of the complete package price must be paid 30 days before the date of the wedding. If final payment is not received as set forth herein, Bridal Choice Photography reserves the right to withhold delivery of the images and or not attend the wedding until payment is received. Upon client’s signature and payment of retainer fee, Bridal Choice Photography agrees to reserve the date and time specified. The retainer fee is applied towards the final contracted wedding package and is not in addition to the package chosen. Once the contract is signed the retainer must be provided within 3 days, if the retainer is not received within 3 days of the signing of the contract, the contract is null and will be cancelled and your date released for other couples to book.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
