The Cost of a Wedding Photographer

2010-04-19T20:05:00.000-07:00

For many couples, photography ranks high in importance because pictures are tangible keepsakes that are intended to last. A photographer should be selected only after careful consideration of cost, professionalism and personality.

Typical costs:

Wedding photography can be broken down into four basic categories: budget, moderate, upscale and luxury.Budget photographers start usually at or just under under $1,000; moderate photographers start between $1,000 and $3,000; and upscale photographers between $3,000 and $5,000. Luxury weddings photographers between $5,000 and upwards of $10,000.
For those on a very limited budget, NEVER consider asking a friend or relative to take ceremony photos with a digital camera unless you want more photos on top of the professional photos.

What should be included:

Basic wedding photograph packages should include 1-4 hours of coverage by one photographer, viewable proofs online, and a limited number of prints. We at Stephanie Williams Photography do not offer these types of packages but you can custom design a package like this using our Ala Carte Menu.
Packages between $1,000-$3,000 (depending on the category) may include an additional photographer and more hours of coverage, plus an album or photo book, though for some photographers, the fee will cover only the photography.
Packages that costing $3,000 or more may include 6+ hours of coverage, 2 photographers, multiple shoot locations, or albums or photo books.

Additional costs:

Extras can include more hours of coverage, additional photographers, special albums or photo books, parent albums, or additional shoots (such as an engagement session which is included in all our new 2011 packages).

Discounts:

Packages are typically the most cost-effective way to purchase wedding photography services. Don't be afraid to ask your photographer if there are any discounts or promotions going on.
Weddings are often scheduled on weekends, and some photographers may offer discounts on off-days.

Don't forget that the price often dictates the quality in services & products. Try to go for at least a moderate priced photographer and don't forget that Stephanie Williams Photography includes cinema in every 2011 package!

2011~ 8x8 Finao SIgnature Guest Book

2010-04-15T23:39:00.000-07:00

I wanted to share a few examples of our signature guest books by Finao which we will be offering in our packages next year. If you like them, one of these can be added to one of my current packages for a fee.

You get your choice of the materials like the leather shown and signature pages come in white or black. This book has less upgrades then the 8x10 version but is still very beautiful! All Finao Albums are hand made to order. Nothing is on the shelf. You pick the leather, the page color and the images and off we go!

So what are the differences between the two signature albums?

8x8 ~ has one single image per page, one type of leather/material on cover, no name imprinting, 10 pages (5 for photos/5 for signing). For your cover, you can choose from the following collections:

Brocades Collection, Middle Earth Collection, Eclectic Looks Collection, Garbo Collection, Haute Color Collection or the Happy Cow Collection... 59 total Materials to choose from!

8x10 ~ can have multiple images per page, one or two tone leather/material on cover, name stamping (*Some materials don't allow stamping due to their texture), message stamping on the inside of the cover, 20 pages (10 for photos/10 for signing). For your cover, you can choose from the following collections:

All That Jazz Collection, The Basics Collection, Colours Collection, The Paraphernalia Collection, Tricycle Alley Collection or the Urban Legends Collection...40 total Materials to choose form!

Digital Negatives VS. Edited Images

2010-04-15T22:11:00.000-07:00

Even though we include the digital negatives and a limited copyright release in all of our packages people still have a lot of misconceptions about what a digital negative is and what you can do with them. I hope to explain the many questions I get on this and what the differences are between digital negatives and edited images.

What is a digital negative?

Lets compare digital to film for a second. Think of a film negative. They are unedited, extremely easy to store, and hold a ton of potential. Digital negatives are exactly the same. These files are straight out of the camera, not retouched or resized. Great things can be done with them, if you know how. However, digital negatives are NOT the images you see in our portfolio, in our albums, and on our blog. The photos in albums, prints, portfolios, or in our blog have had extensive editing.

Why would I want a copy of my digital negatives?

Most of my clients like to have these images because they want a digital copy of all of their wedding photos. They also like to make prints of the photos themselves, post them online in places like Facebook or MySpace. You can do what you please with your negatives, as long as you follow the limited copyright release. If you would like to see a limited copyright release, let me know and I will provide a voided online image for you to read.

Does that mean I own the copyright?

No! Per federal law, The company who took the photos retains the copyright to them, and copyright ownership is not something that can be sold. When you get your disc with the digital negatives you will also get the written copyright release that gives you permission to use the images for certain purposes, such as making prints. The release is made out to the person who purchased them (such as the Bride and Groom), and cannot be duplicated for other people to use.

What am I NOT ALLOWED do with the digital negatives?

You CANNOT give or sell your copyright release to anyone else. For example, you can’t e-mail the photos to your Cousin and tell her she can print as many images as she wants. you CAN Make prints with your release and mail the images to her. Only the bride and groom have permission to use the images. You also CANNOT make changes to the images (cropping and resizing are ok, but please leave the image editing to us – that’s what you pay us for!). You CANNOT duplicate the disc or put image on a new disc for your friends and relatives, wedding magazines, websites or other vendors (although we are happy to submit your images to wedding magazines or other vendors who would like to use them for advertising ~ as long as they give us due credit!. Stephanie Williams Photography is the only entity authorized to sell or distribute the images that they own. If you have a specific request, we are more than happy to work with you to accommodate your needs.

Why are your prints so much more expensive than local store prints?

Each image goes through major retouching before being printed which can take hours, not to mention very detailed/skilled work, so we charge accordingly for this service. This is the main reason why there is such a difference in price between taking a digital negative to your local neighborhood one-hour photo and getting a 4×6 for $.20 and purchasing one from us for $15. At the one-hour photo place, you are paying for the low-quality paper it is printed on, the antiquated equipment that prints it, and the two seconds it takes them to run the image through. When you purchase from the photographer directly, you are get an image that has been printed by a professional photo lab on super high-quality photographic paper and the time it takes us to carefully retouch the image as well as calibrate it to the specific printer that our lab will be using. This requires expensive computer software and hardware, as well as lots and lots of time (roughly 30 or more minutes per image). For larger prints, we also have a special process that allows us to enlarge the image to virtually any size without any loss of quality. This is something that you just can’t get at one-hour photo shops.

What do you do to “edit” a photo?

This is an extremely hard question to answer with in writing. Depending on the specific image, the process is different. It could mean increasing contrast, adjusting the white balance, color correcting, removing blemishes, slimming down unattractive body parts (only to an extent - we can't make you look 2 sizes smaller or anything...), opening closed eyes, erasing debris or distracting backgrounds, adding special effects like vignettes or sepia, etc. The possibilities are truly endless, and every single image requires something different.

Also, each image goes through two different bouts of editing. The first round of editing is where we make minor tweaks to the image to make it presentable for proofing. Mostly this is color correcting and contrast.

I would much prefer to answer this question visually. In the following examples, the “unedited” photo is the image straight out of the camera, the “proof” photo is the photo after the first round of editing (this is the image that you will see in your proofing galleries, as well as the image you will receive with your digital negatives), and the “edited” photo is the image after extensive retouching work that we will use for prints, albums, canvases, etc.

I like the edited photos and would like them as digital negatives. Can I pay extra for you to retouch all of them?

For an average wedding with 600 proofs, it would take us about 300 hours to do this, which would take six weeks of working non-stop 40 hour weeks, and the cost would run about $10,000. Although we would love that money, we cannot sacrifice that much of our time or we would be forced to neglect our other clients. We can do retouching on individual files for $35 an hour (typically two images per hour).

If you have any other questions about editing, digital negatives, or anything else, please e-mail me and I will be happy to help!

Day After Session = LOVE

2010-03-22T20:14:00.000-07:00

A wedding can be one of the most exciting, yet stressful events of a bride and groom’s lives. With all of the details to take care of, brides and grooms have so much responsibility and potential stress to handle on this one special day that many couples feel moves far too quickly.

As a photographer, your duty is to capture your couples at their best. However, it can often be difficult to get a solid chunk of time to shoot the couple alone without being worried about the day’s schedule. With this in mind, successful photographers are choosing to shoot day after sessions for their wedding couples. Shooting day after sessions eases the stress for both the couple and the photographer. Without time limitations and the stress of keeping an entire group of wedding guests entertained and happy, the couple can really shine. Collages.net consulted with two successful studios that shoot day after sessions regularly for advice to share with other photographers.
Heather Byrd of Infinity Images in McBee, SC says, “Our studio promotes day after sessions to all of our couples. The uninterrupted, no-stress time with the couple makes for magnificent images. Not to mention that it’s always preferred to have better control over lighting situations. Most of the time, the bride and groom feel very rushed to get to the reception, so they end up with very little time in less than perfect lighting conditions. We want our couples’ images to exude romance, whimsy, and most of all, their personalities. It’s so difficult to get that when you feel rushed.”

Ross and Kammi Bothwell of Elegant Images and Photographs in Longmont, CO frequently shoot day after sessions and trash the dress sessions for their wedding clients. They truly understand the benefit of shooting portraits after the hectic wedding day. Ross states, “As far as day after sessions go, we love them. We include them in all of our destination packages. Day after sessions give us a chance to play in a relaxed, no-pressured timeline. We can be more adventurous with what we want to capture without worrying about getting the dress dirty and having to worry about holding up the reception. Some couples even opt for another change of clothes, so it gives them greater freedom in choosing the look of their portraits. I think one of the benefits of shooting day after sessions is that our brides know about them going into their wedding day. When the weather is bad on their wedding day, they know that they have the dress and the man, and can go get some great images another day. Offering day after sessions to our clients has opened up a whole new world for creative images.”

Both Heather and Ross are absolutely right. Day after sessions equate to better images and higher sales. In addition to engagement sessions, day after sessions can boost the quality and quantity of your wedding photos. That is why Next year ALL packages by Stephanie Williams Photography will have a day after session included in the price as well as an Engagement session, Love Story Engagement Video (for reception viewing), 2 photographers and a 52 page Leather Album. You will even have the ability to make any package D-LUXE by adding our Cinema Services to it!

Garden Weddings

2010-02-17T07:54:00.000-08:00

With the warmer weather approaching, one of the places you may want to consider holding an outdoor wedding is in your garden. Hosting a garden wedding takes a lot of planning but it’s easier than you think. There is nothing like getting married outdoors in the sunshine, surrounded by loved ones. You have the choice of a formal or casual wedding. Going casual, you can reduce expenses by a large margin.

It’s a good idea to have a seperate section with a decorated archway for the vows, with an aisle covered in rose petals leading to the gazebo. This makes for beautiful photos.

Floral arrangements need not be elaborate. If the garden is pretty and in good shape, you won’t need much in the way of flowers. A simple lantern with votives can be oh so stunning as centrepieces on flowery tablecloths.

To give your wedding more of an event feel, as opposed to a normal get together, consider having caterers do the food. A spitbraai in a seperate corner is the ideal solution. Have lots of cold drinks on hand such as punch cocktails and juice.

When the sun starts to set you’ll have to have some form of lighting. Lanterns, candles in glass jars hanging from trees and fairy lights will do the trick. Be fabulous and have fun

2010-02-16T08:33:00.000-08:00

I LOVE Wedding Dresses.... slightly unique ones at that. Here are a few that I thought were really beautiful. Let me know what you think!

Unique Cakes

2010-02-15T22:42:00.001-08:00

I love it when brides step out of the normal and show us unique and beautiful cakes. Here are a few I thought I would share:

Wedding Trends 2010 Part Two

2010-02-13T18:50:00.000-08:00

After more research I came up with a few more trends.

3. Winter/Christmas Themed Wedding

Something about this makes me want to snuggle up next to the fireplace with the man I love...

If winter is your favorite season or Christmas you favorite holiday, then this is the theme for you. Not only can you get great off season deals but you can do it in style!

4. Island theme Wedding

One of the most fun things about the island theme wedding are the decorations. Think bright, beautiful, tropical colors like bright pink, orange, turquoise or sunny yellow accented with green. Flowers should include exotic tropical choices like hibiscus, bamboo orchid, plumeria, bamboo orchid and red ginger, for example. The more flowers, the better!

5. Organic Elegance

I love the smell of fresh herbs in the summer and having them be incorporated into a garden wedding is just perfect. There are so many ways to incorporate herbs into a wedding (or even a bridal shower), including:
• the actual bouquets and boutonnieres
• actual decor (wreaths, hanging pots, centerpieces)
• favors (potted herbs doing double duty has take home gifts and place cards)
• food (herb butter, herb roasted potatoes, thyme marinated grilled chicken, Summer herb crusted salmon)

Plus, herbs are a great solution for "green weddings". Not only are they green in color, but they are eco-friendly when planted in pots and given to guests to take home and use.

Wedding Trends 2010 Part One

2010-02-13T09:43:00.001-08:00

Ok, so I have been thinking about new wedding trends and styles and came across a few that I thought were really fun....

1. Celtic/Medieval

I know, I know! Sounds kinda like a Renaissance Fair and although I agree that this kind of wedding is not for everyone, there is still something inside of me screaming "Oh my gosh! I love it!!"

I admit that I love fantasy movies like LOTR and/or similar. The romantic aspect of it is enough for me to say "I do" to this new 2010 wedding trend.

AS some of you know, I am now offering Custom Made wedding dresses that look like the top name designer dresses. I will soon be adding a section of celtic dresses so please keep checking back for them! CLICK HERE

2. Vintage/Hollywood Glam

There is just something wonderful about the early 1900's. Everything just seemed so much better... the looks were elegant & timeless yet chic. Short net veils, gloves and pearls... hey if its good enough for Grace Kelley, its good enough for me! Think Sweet Home Alabama or Katherine Heigl's Wedding Day

THE BLOG IS BACK!

2010-01-30T00:04:00.000-08:00

Ok, So for some time I haven't done anything with my blog and for a while, I even got rid of it. BUT Its back!!! Check it out for some new posts soon!

Jill & Nick's Wedding

2009-07-22T08:38:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of doing the photography for Jill and Nick who are just adorable! They got married at the Orchard House a few days ago and the setting was perfect. Congrats to the two of you. Here are a few of my favorites!

Javier & Stasia's Wedding Album

2009-07-21T18:01:00.000-07:00

Stasia chose a 8x12 Elegance Album with the Full Photo Cover, Black Glove Leather spine and Back and Silver Gilding. I think it turned out really nice. I love the way the cover looks like a magazine ad!

Samantha and Zach's Album

2009-07-21T17:54:00.000-07:00

Samantha was the first person who has chosen a 12x12 PINK Traditional Album! I was a little worried but the artistic side of me thought that it may be kinda cool... Well, the book is in and I REALLY like it! Its almost kinda retro. I really dig it... do you?

Samantha and Zach's Wedding

2009-07-21T17:30:00.000-07:00

I also did Samantha and Zach's Wedding a few weeks ago and never got around to publishing any photos, so here are a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them.

Kevin & Dana's Album

2009-07-21T17:19:00.000-07:00

Kevin and Dana went for the Traditional album with silver edging and a black Napa Leather on the front. The Napa Leather has a suede look and feel and I absolutely love it! I actually prefer it over the standard black because its a darker black. I know they will enjoy this album for years to come. I even show how thick this this album is compared to my samples which are about half the size.

Kevin & Dana's Wedding

2009-07-21T16:58:00.001-07:00

Dana and Kevin Got Married a few weeks back and I thought I would publish a few photos for everyone to enjoy! Here are a few of my favorites...

Tony and Melissa's Wedding

2009-06-13T01:26:00.000-07:00

I just want to say congrats to Melissa and Tony who had a beautiful small wedding followed by a WONDERFUL photo shoot on the Carson Capital Grounds. The rain didn't stop them and I am so glad because I think we got some great shots. Click on the photo below for a larger view!

David & Louise's Wedding

2009-05-04T19:05:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone! I Just did a wonderful wedding this last weekend and can't wait to share with you all!

First off, Congrats to David and Louise who were married on Sand Harbor! The rain held out just long enough for the wedding to take place and get some great photos. This wedding was so much fun and they had some really great friends who were a blast to be around...

Here are a few photos and a link to their slideshow to peak your interest. Let me know what you think!

Dana & Kevin's Engagement Shoot

2009-03-18T23:07:00.000-07:00

Congrats to Dana and Kevin who are getting married in June! I just took their engagement photos the other day, and we had a blast. They brought along their dogs and we headed up to Tahoe. The Weather was beautiful although the wind was a bit chilly. They were real troopers!!!! Anyhow, here is a slideshow of some photos...

Zook Book Albums

2009-03-18T18:27:00.000-07:00

I love custom albums. Seeing the images I have worked so hard to produce displayed in a gorgeous album is the perfect way to complete each project and an awesome way for every couple to remember their day for the rest of their lives!

Today the album I would like to show off is a Elegance album with a Full photo cover instead of the all leather. Check out the gorgeous bonded acrylic cover! The album is hand made with 2mm thick pages. This is one heavy album! The print quality is incredible with numerous paper options. One of the reasons I am choosing to use Zookbinders this year is because not only do they offer a great product but they also offer a line of parent albums that are basically smaller copies of the original book we create. And since the setup and design time is already taking place for the full size book, the cost for the parent albums is very reasonable. Zookbinders is a terrific album choice and I am very proud to offer this as an option to each of my couples! Check out the album images below.

Crazy Week!

2009-03-17T21:49:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all who check here for more photos! I just want to say sorry about the delay. I had a friend who's mother was hit and killed while crossing the street the other day and it just made me think how important life is and how we should cherish every moment with the ones we love. Anyhow... I will be posting more photos in a day or two. BUT, since I am behind I will give you a brief preview of the photos to come. So in the mean time tell someone you love how special they are!
