Professional Wedding Photography - Custom Design Your Package

Wedding photography rates can be so complicated because there are plenty of options depending on your needs. Photographers usually create packages to make more money by bundling services together or give you things that you don't want or need. I found this to be a problem since not every has the same desires!

So lets keep things simple and be real. Get what you want and custom create your own package below.

If you love my work, but have budget issues just call me directly at (941) 306-1780 and I will work with you. It's that simple. Thanks - Alexander

Some photographers throw in an engagement session for the larger package, others give you more print credit. I give you 10% OFF if your "Total Package" is over $1,000 and 15% OFF if your "Total Package" is over $2,000. I found that not everyone wants a Free Session or want prints. Take the savings and get the other things you want.

Remember prices reflect Tax, insurance, Transportation & Gas, Equipment costs, Backup Equipment, & Editing time. The quote above covers a 50 mile radius from St. Petersburg, FL. Additional coverage area available for an extra fee.

Standout Finishing and Mounting Services

We offer a variety of mounting substrates to satisfy whatever your needs may be for any given order.

matboard • A heavyweight, dry mount board provides mounting at an economical price. Due to the nature of fiber based board some warping will occur, therefore we do not offer sizes larger than 16x20. Styrene board is a wonderful replacement for Matboard.

styrene board • Styrene is a plastic mounting board 2mm thick. Standard color is white. We find this to be one of the best mounting substrates available and are pleased to offer it at very economical prices.

foamboard • Foamboard is 1/4” thick foam-centered board coated with tough white plastic shell.

masonite • Standard 1/8” hardboard masonite. This traditional mounting surface provides a heavy duty, rigid, hard and long lasting substrate. Perfect for the high-end market.

standout • Standout is a thick lightweight board finished with a black plastic edge. Hanging holes on backside. The finished edge prevents us from trimming the board to any custom sizes. Standout is available in two depths,3/4” and and 1-1/2”, and nothing extra needs to be done to prepare for display. 3/4” board dimensions are undersized by 1/4”, and 1-1/2” is 1/2” undersized. Please note, delivery times can be longer than normal with this product.

canvas • A traditional canvas mounting to provide the highest quality available for those special, high- end prints. Canvas mountings can additionally be put on Masonite or placed on to a stretcher frame. Canvas can also be ordered loose without mounting.

photography process

Prior to starting your photo session, we have a brief consultation and discuss what you want from your photo session. This is the time we figure out a time, date, place, and can customize your package if necessary. After you place a deposit on your date, your session is confirmed. (No date is confirmed without a deposit). Based on the schedule place and time, we will meet you at the location, sign some paperwork, and photograph the session.

After your session, we will choose the best photos from the shoot, tweak them, add a few creative enhancements, and upload the photos to our online photo viewing and purchasing location. On the clients website link, you can view your photos, order prints, or other photo merchandise. Your friends and family will also be able to view and order prints via this link. We can password protect your photos by request, at no additional cost to you, however remember that other family members will need the password to order prints. If you ordered a CD/DVD disk, it will be shipped within a week to the address on file.


ordering photo prints or getting a cd

Since everyone wants different formats of final copies, some people just want prints and others need a CD/DVD multimedia disk. Most of our packages come with a DVD disk of the final processed files. Your welcome to get these printed at your local Wal-mart, Walgreens, Wolf Camera or any other retail store. However please be aware the the prints of retail store usually do not come close to those that are created by most professional photographers. This is because we have a special partnership with professional print vendors that use a higher quality paper, ink, adjust color tone of your prints than those of retail stores. Our print vendors can even print unique custom sizes such as wide pictures at 5x30 or get a super large prints at 30x45, or even print on metallic surfaces. We try to keep our prices competitive for standard prints, however keep in mind you do get what you pay for.


photography payment options

Payment for each photography package is due in advance before actual shooting takes place. All photography sessions require a deposit (usually 30% of the package price) to secure the session date. Photo shoots are not confirmed without deposits. Deposits can be paid by credit card (we accept Visa and MasterCard via phone), PayPal, or by check. Allow 10 days for your check to clear. If the weather does not permit us to take your photos on the date selected, we will reschedule. If rescheduling is not possible, your payment will be refunded in full, minus any transaction fees. (Usually 3% to 5%).
