"Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow."
-Imogen Cunningham


     Photography is my passion, and I find people celebrating life to be the most exciting subject.   I will bring my creative energy to your wedding, and document your special day with artful photographs.  I usually shoot both posed portraits and documentary candids (also called photojournalism or storybook style) in a mix of color and black and white.  I will create personal and unique photographs of you, your family and guests, and the events and details of your wedding day.  It is always my goal to make the wedding I'm shooting the very best I've ever done.

Matt's wedding photography coverage always includes:

     Unlimited Wedding Photographs
     There is no limit on the amount of photographs I take, other than what is possible in the time period you have hired me for. 

      A Set of 4"x6"Prints
     Prints are matte finish, and
presented in a simple print box.  These are the finished, fully edited photographs, not proof prints.

      The High Resolution Image Files
      You keep the high resolution image files on DVDThe files are edited and ready to print at the lab of your choice or one of recommendations.  You can make as many reprints and enlargements for yourself, and your friends and family as you want.  You can even make your own albums if you like (or I'd be happy to make them for you).  I will recommend full service, professional photo labs where you can have top quality prints and albums made for a fraction of the cost many photographers charge.

Wedding Photography Pricing

     My wedding photography prices are based on how much wedding day photography coverage you need.  You can add other services (such as engagement portraits) and items (such as albums) to your wedding photography package as you need them.

     Up to 6 hours of wedding day photography coverage  $1650

     8 hours of wedding day photography coverage  $2000

     10 hours of wedding day photography coverage  $2500

     12 hours
of wedding day photography coverage  $3000

     Up to 4 hours of wedding day photography coverage  $1250  (this option is not available on Saturdays May through October)


     Please email or call if you are interested in meeting with me to discuss your wedding, and to see some of my photographs.   Everyone's wedding is different, and I want to hear about yours, and what is important to you. 

     A $400.00 retainer and a signed contract reserves my services for your wedding.  The remaining balance is due two weeks before the wedding date.  I only schedule one wedding per date so that I can be flexible and give 100% to your wedding. 


 
Additional services and items.
If you don't see what you need, just ask.

     Bridal or Engagement Portrait Session  $350 / $250 with 6+ hours of wedding photography coverage

     Add a portrait session for the bride or couple to get some great portraits before the big day.  This is an opportunity for you to get more familiar with me, and that can really help you feel comfortable in front of the camera on your wedding day.

     Or we could do a post-wedding day portrait session.  You may have heard of "Trash the Dress" post-wedding, extreme bridal shoots; well I won't make you swim in your wedding dress (unless that's what you want to do), but after the wedding portrait sessions offer an opportunity to create wonderful newlywed portraits.   I offer $250 newlywed portrait sessions for couples who hired me for 6+ hours of wedding day coverage for up to one year after their wedding.

     With all portrait sessions you get a set of 4"x6" prints, and the high resolution image files on CD or DVD just like with my wedding photography packages.  See the Portraits page for more information.   Payment is due at time of engagement portrait session.



     Engagement Portrait with Signature Mat  $50
     An 8"x12" portrait from your engagement portrait session in a 16"x20" archival mat.  There is 4" of space on all sides for your guests' signatures and well wishes.  After the wedding it's ready for your 16"x20" frame. 


     Wedding Albums and Photo Books
     You can make your own wedding albums with the high resolution image files, or I would be happy to design and create the wedding albums for you.  There are many different kinds of wedding albums and photo books available.  I have described a few here.  If you are interested in something else just ask.  Albums and photobooks may be ordered at anytime; payment is due when ordered. 

     8.5" x 11" or 10" x 10"  30 page Photo Book     $250 ($150 after the first)
     12" x 14"  30 page Photo Book     $300 ($175 after the first)

     Photo books are hard cover bound, coffee table style books with the photographs printed directly on the page.   A variety of cover styles are available such as leather, dust-jacket, bonded photograph, etc...
 
     12" x 12" or 11" x 14" 30 page Flushmount Photo Albums     $650  ($600 after the first)

     Photo albums are leather bound, hard back books with type C photographic prints mounted on/in the page.  Flushmount means the photographs are attached to the pages so that the photo surface is even with the page surface.  Flushmount albums lay flat when opened.    
 

     Special Editing and Effects
     If you have seen a special effect or style you like in my photo gallery, portfolio, or elsewhere, just let me know.  Partial color (part BW/part color), toning, painting styles, soft focus, and more are available for your wedding photographs.  There may be a fee for complex or large editing and effects jobs.
