Specialized Wedding Photography

Our dedicated team is made up of not only photographers, but photography specialists. This means that we have experience and expertise in all types of wedding photography. For example, many of our clients in San Diego and Tampa opt for beach weddings. This could be a reception that takes place at a tropical-themed wedding venue near the ocean. Or, you could be holding your wedding ceremony right on the sand. For this, we have photographers that are specifically trained in beach weddings! For instance, our team members know how to capture the natural light reflecting off the ocean. When photographed properly, the lighting looks dramatic and not flat. It also brings out all the vibrant colors of the sky. If you are getting married in the mountains of Colorado, we have photographers trained to capture the natural beauty. This is something an experienced photography specialist knows how to execute.

As mentioned, our incredible photographers are experts in all aspects of wedding photography. This includes LGBTQ weddings, Jewish weddings, cultural ceremonies, and large reception parties.

Photography Budget Options

We understand that everyone is working with different photography budgets. For example, your budget may allow for everything under the sun. Or, it may be a bit more modest. What we have done is to tailor our photography pricing and budget option to fit almost every scenario. Because of this, it allows for a lot of customization. Instead of choosing Package A or Package B, you have full control of the exact services you receive, with no corners cut. This way, you can focus entirely on the services and deliverables that are most important to you.

Planning Your San Diego Wedding Photography Budget, Tampa Wedding Photography, and Denver Wedding Photography

When planning your wedding photography budget, there are many factors to consider. Think about the services and deliverables that are most important to you. For some couples, this will be an engagement photo session. Others will prioritize longer photography hours at the wedding itself. Still others will want to ensure there are two or more photographers, for maximum coverage. No matter your wedding photography budget, we typically have a package to match.

Above all, though, what you are paying for is top photography talent. This is at the core of everything. If the images aren't good, it doesn't matter what else is included in your photography package. You could have a million prints and albums and not want to look at any of them. So our own approach is to apply your budget most effectively.

While doing so, we also ensure you have the best photography talent. This means you will have one or more top photographers. We don't skimp on photography talent, even for modest budgets. Everyone on our team is creative, experienced, energized, and ready to shoot amazing photos for you. This is something you can count on!

What Should My Wedding Photography Budget Be?

Wedding photography prices are all across the board, as you'll find. Resources recommend setting aside 10 - 15% of your total wedding budget for your professional wedding photographer. Here our studio is in more of the mid range, while delivering a high quality product. Also, because of our package flexibility, we are often able to offer creative solutions. We even have options that you won't find at other studios!

If we are close to your expected photography budget, ask yourself whether you love our images. If the answer is yes, it will be worthwhile to contact our studio. We will do everything within our control to make it work for you. Or, if you have a sizable budget to work with, we will create a custom package around your priorities. Just know that you have a lot of choices when it comes to our studio.
