For Still Photography (digital) - I charge $110 /hr
for the shoot itself (2 hr min). This includes proof sheets and
two CD's with all images. It also includes DVDs with a
beautiful dissolving slide-shows. For obtaining sets of normal
|4x6 prints, I suggest bringing the CD to any Wall-Mart or
Walgreen's. They are low-cost and fast. If you want large
prints (framed or not), we can custom print those
for you at better rates than the local labs. I shoot about
100 images per hour on average.

Although rates vary from shoot to shoot, I generally
charge $125 /hour for video services- which includes
three labeled copies of the finished product (DVD or VHS)
-as well as the digital DV master. Any editing over just the addition
of introductory titles- will be additional.

Marriage photo services are separate from the above rates. Marriages
have many more aspects and requirements, and so must be custom
arranged with the couple. I can assure you that my rates will be less
than half the price of any quote you receive from a true professional.

My wife and I really enjoy doing this and we set the rates as low as 
we can. It's always possible to get "Uncle Charlie" to shoot your event 
with his brand-new digital camera, but I can assure you that you won't 
be pleased with the results. This event only happens once in a lifetime.
Having hundreds of truly beautiful pictures from it will be an enduring treasure. 
Having a professional photographer at your event also says you care enough 
about this event to use the very best
.

PS: We will let Uncle Charlie take pictures too!
