What is included in each package?

All packages include a pre-session consultation, professional editing, and a private online gallery. Some packages offer additional hours, prints, or RAW files—see our Pricing page for details.

How long until I receive my photos?

You’ll receive a preview within 7 days. Full galleries are delivered within 2–4 weeks, depending on the session type and editing requirements.

Can I request specific editing styles?

Yes, we tailor editing to your preferences—soft, natural, or classic. Share your inspiration or let us suggest a style that fits your session and mood.

Do you tip a wedding photographer?

Tipping is not required, but it’s greatly appreciated. If you're happy with your photographer's work, a tip of $50–$200 is common — especially if they went above and beyond. A heartfelt thank-you note or a glowing review is also a meaningful way to show appreciation.

How many pictures do you usually get from a wedding photographer?

You typically receive 400 to 1,200 professionally edited images for a full-day wedding (6–10 hours). The exact number depends on the length of coverage, the flow of the day, and the package you select.

Do wedding photographers negotiate prices?

Some photographers offer custom packages for weekday weddings, shorter sessions, or local events. However, most professionals work with set pricing that reflects the quality, experience, and time involved in delivering high-end results.

What is a realistic budget for a wedding photographer?

A realistic wedding photography budget in the U.S. is around $2,500 to $4,000. This typically includes full-day coverage, editing, an online gallery, and professional guidance. Under $2,000 may be possible but often involves limited coverage or less experienced photographers.
