A beautiful wedding we photographed at The Deering Estate

Hi Ashley & Carlos,

Here are my notes from our conversation.
Do they look right?
Your wedding is:
  • March 21, 2020
  • You do want the getting ready covered (Palace Ballroom)
  • Ceremony & reception both at the Palace Ballroom
  • About 100 people will attend
  • You do want an option for an engagement photoshoot in advance – (engagement gallery)
  • You do want an option for videography with an edited highlight video (watch video samples here)
  • If you order video, do you want some drone video footage in your highlight video? (see our wedding videos that include drone video)
  • You’d like 8 hours of photo covered & 5-6 hours of video covered.
  • Are you OK doing a telephone planning meeting ?
  • You do want an album (watch this 90 second video describing our albums)
  • Sunset on your day is at 7:32pm –PLEASE keep this in mind if you would like your ceremony and formal photos when there is good sunlight.  If you need help with timing, please feel free to call Liam before you print your invitations.

Does that sound right?

P.S.  We included a 24-hour discount in case you’d like to get the price even lower

You can lower the price of your contract

3 different ways …

Nearly all of our clients ask us for some type of discount.   And we understand.  Weddings are expensive.  So we offer you 3 different discounts right up front:   A 24 hour discount; Pay with check discount & Pay in Full discount.  Let me explain:

  • 24-hour discount – Save 4% if you pay your deposit within 24 hours of receiving our price quote.
  • Pay with Check discount – Save another 4% if you make all your payments with check or bank transfer versus credit or debit cards.
  • Pay in Full discount – Save another 5% if you you pay the entire contract off, upfront in one payment.

So, if you use all 3 discounts, you can lower the price of your contract by 13%.

If you purchase video…

Please note, if you purchase video,  our standard video package includes a “highlight” video.  Watch a sample here:

Would you like drone footage also?

And we can even add drone video footage to your highlight video for an extra charge.  Call for details.  See sample here:

They have become very popular in recent years as they give a beautiful highlight of the entire event within a captivating 5-10  minutes.

Watch more sample highlight videos here: our YouTube channel.

Our standard package does not include the longer, feature-length video.

Cinematic ­length: A cinematic ­length, also called a feature ­length video is a longer video. It usually ranges from 30-­45 minutes in length for those that enjoy reliving the full moments of the vows and special dances etc. This is an “add-on” item which you can request for an additional charge.  Please inquire.

You will also receive …

We will also create your very own smart phone App with a gallery of some of your photos.

Have you considered doing a “first look” before the ceremony?

There are many reasons why couples do a “first look” before the ceremony.  Read why.
