Wedding Photography Investment
At A Day to Adore, we feel that photography is one of the best investments you can make for your wedding. Just as picking out the right dress, colors, and location are important, choosing the right photographer is paramount. The cake will get eaten, the balloons will deflate, and guests will go home, but high quality beautiful photography from your wedding day will last the rest of your life. When looking for the right photographer, please consider the price, quality, quantity, and art work offered. Often times photographers will not provide services such as editing, digital collections, art, or stay for your reception. There is a lot more to photography than showing up and taking a few pictures; experience, equipment, and excellent post-production are vital to having the art you’ve always dreamed of that depicts this beautiful occasion in your life.
Please browse through our tour below that, hopefully, will clarify questions you may have about this often confusing process as well as help you understand our role this wonderful experience:
Your Wedding
We do everything in our power to make your wedding…yours. You have a vision in mind and we are here to help you see that vision through. To get started it is important to understand what you would like for your photography. There are several additional sessions to choose from. Some to consider are Engagements, Bridals, and Post/Pre Wedding Sessions.
Engagements
Engagements
Engagement sessions are a blast! They are a chance to show the world how excited you are to tie the knot. We will work with your natural chemistry as a couple to find awesome locations that express your personalities. Engagement sessions typically last up to 2 hours and can involve a couple different locations and optional outfit changes. We will work with you to find a style that you would like to portray throughout the rest of your wedding journey and to put on your wedding announcements.
Bridals
Bridals
Your bridals will be the epitome of beauty and grace. They are the chance you’ve been waiting for to get dressed up and have all the attention be on you and the natural beauty you have as a future bride. Bridal sessions typically last up to 2 hours and can involve a couple different locations. We have done bridals at glamourous locations, urban city scape, outdoors and natural, and even at junk yards (the contrast is beautiful). Pretty much whatever adventure you’ve always dreamed of having in a beautiful dress, we are open to do.
Pre/Post Wedding
Pre/Post Wedding Sessions
If time or getting your beautiful dress and tux dirty is an issue, I highly recommend Pre/Post Wedding sessions. Pre/Post Sessions typically last up to 2 hours and can involve a couple different locations and optional outfit changes. A couple advantages to doing them before or after the wedding is that you will not be rushed, you will be more relaxed and natural. Weddings are often around noon when the sun is hottest and brightest; this session provides the flexibility of visiting amazing locations at different times of the day (or night!) to capture great images that we would otherwise not be able to get on the wedding day. We can also do what is called a “trash the dress” session where we go out to lakes, rivers, dirt, and mud and have glorious fun trashing that dress you will never wear again. Often times if you have children, this is a great time to get them dressed up too and bring them along. The opportunities are endless.
Artwork
In this digital age, emphasis is placed on digital files. As important it is to have a digital collection for uses on blogs, facebook, and other social media forums, often times printed art is neglected. We feel that this is a shame as images are often trapped on the disk and never able to be enjoyed on the wall in your home, or as a book held in your hand. For this reason we provide not only a digital collection with all of our packages, but also as a print credit to use towards photographs, books, canvas, wraps, and all other types of printed art. We also have a very accessible private ordering page that you and/or family can go on and view your images and purchase prints.
Investment
We have created several packages that hopefully caters to your needs. The differences between packages ranges from additional sessions, wedding coverage, additional photographers, and print credit. If there is something specific you would like, but do not see it here, please let us know and we will be more than happy to create a custom package for you.
