ABOUT WEDDING COVERAGE:
(AN INFORMATIONAL VIDEO ABOUT WEDDING COVERAGE IS COMING VERY SOON)
8 HOURS OF COVERAGE: "Wedding Coverage" includes (an initial commitment) of 8 hours of Photography-Services/ Coverage (by me) for Your Wedding Day; more time and additional Photographers can be added (see the Package Details). Also, 3 (in-person) meetings [for getting to know each other, discussing and planning Your Day...and helping me to plan and know what I will need and expect (planned events, ceremonies, number of guests, size of Wedding Entourage/Party; as well as to see/view/tour your chosen venue(s) together (where & when possible), attend Your Rehearsal Dinner, and/or meet with your coordinator(s) and anyone else you (or I) deem necessary].
Also included is the editing of Your Images [which will be delivered on USB Drive in 2 sizes "Printable Size" and "Internet (Social Media) Size" (along with digital copies of Your Album, and any other product files that were assembled/designed for Your Wedding)]. Coverage also includes a 3 hour (post-Wedding) sit-down meeting at my home to view Your Images for prints and of course Your Album.
PRIVATE ONLINE GALLERY: After editing has been completed on your portrait session, your images can be uploaded to a private online gallery for ordering and viewing on this site. Online gallery will stay active for three months & images will be watermarked. To continue hosting the images in an online private gallery- each additional month will be $50.00 (per month of hosting- after the original 3 months). [SIT-DOWN MEETINGS ARE VITAL for the selection of prints, but also this is good way to evaluate the draft(s) or your Album(s)/Book(s)].

I only offer Packages these days because I want to build a Book or Album from Your Photographs. In photographing Weddings- these Events are supposed to be a Special and very important one-time Event in Your Life. I have spent years developing my capabilities and knowledge as a photographer to be able to make the most beautiful and impactful images possible. I do not (and no one should) just want the photographs of such a momentous day to just be files on a hard drive. When couples did not order a Book or Album with their coverage, then life would happen and time would start speeding by, or other things would happen...but the Album/Book would NOT happen. I intend to complete my service to You with a Keepsake that is carefully designed and approved (from digital drafts) by You before final retouching, color-enhancement, and eventually printing.
The Package Details (down the page) will explain the contents and options you are choosing from. All Wedding Packages (by default) have hours of coverage (more time and additional Photographers can be added). Add-Ons and Upgrades are available for the Products in any Package- PLEASE CALL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS: 919-235-7695.
EDITING TIME - Editing of your images for first viewing will require a minimum of three weeks following Your Wedding (then, the sit-down review/meeting can be scheduled). After your images are edited, we will schedule a 1-3 hour meeting/sit-down together (at my home) to view and see all of the images on a very large TV to choose images for prints (if you would like), but mainly to let you mark your favorites for potential use/incorporation into Your Album. [I will go through all of the images review to find additional images (story shots, details, etc.) before I begin building the first draft of Your Album.]

EDITING TIME - Editing of images from Wedding Coverage typically takes between three to six weeks from the date of Your Wedding, though I certainly try to have editing done within three weeks of the Wedding.
NUMBER OF IMAGES - Wedding Coverage can result in anywhere between 1,000 and 2,500+ images [On Average about 1,500].
ABOUT ALBUM DESIGN – Initial album layout design takes approximately 3 weeks (this would be after the editing of the original camera files); once the initial design has been completed, the album pages are proofed in digital or small print format and sent to you via PDF, or Secured Online Gallery, or we can schedule to sit-down together and review the layout to make notes, adjustments, modifications, color changes, or other aesthetic enhancements. After I have received your notes/feedback- I implement your requested modifications and again proof the layout for a second review and (if needed) make further modifications [up to three reviews are included with your album design]. Wedding Albums must be approved by you (and declared "Approved/Design-Is-Satisfactory") before retouching or final enhancements and printing will begin[Fonts, Cover Options, the Addition of Text [inside the Album/Book or on the outside (with some limitations to outside text)]...Albums and Books are extremely customizable - please let me know any and all text you would like to have added/included on a page (or pages) and any other part of your album or book].
