Wedding Photography Packages and Costs for All of 2010

Standard Wedding Album Packages, Prints or Digital

If you would like a wedding album, digital images for viewing on screen and some prints for framing or hanging on the wall a standard package might suit you. If you do not want an album I am happy to supply an agreed number of prints or digital images to be ordered in advance.

General Remarks on Wedding Photography Package Prices

It is often said that if you mention the word 'wedding' in an enquiry the price is doubled. That is not the case with me. In fact you can get a better deal than portrait customers on a per print basis. I also offer the same percentage discount for multiple prints of the same image as they receive. Why? Simply because wedding customers are ordering more and make advance payment on contract. I think that is the fair way to do business. The saving on a £900 album package is in the order of £220. I do not recommend that you spend all of your money on an album that is why I include prints for framing or wall mounting in the package costs.

All standard 'Album + Digital' packages for 2010 onwards include:

  • The photographic shoot from the bride preparing, to the end of the last speech (or from arrival to the start of the evening reception)
  • Up to a maximum of 120 numbered proof prints or disc
  • Digital retouching of images of the bride and groom and immediate family where required
  • An album chosen from a range of styles and layouts
  • A set of screen resolution images of all pictures chosen for the album on disk
  • A set of compressed smaller images suitable for e-mailing to friends.
  • Prints for framing or wall mounting

Other non-standard combinations are possible depending on your requirements. If you need any more information about the possibilities see the wedding album page or call 0141 570 1368 or e-mail admin@scotimages.com

There are many other non-standard possibilities

Standard 'Digital Only' Photography Packages

Digital wedding image packages include the same photographic coverage of the wedding day. Instead of prints and an album you receive high resolution retouched images on disc. There are advantages and disadvantages to the purely digital approach. I am happy to discuss the pros and cons with you to help you decide. If, for example, you are not sure about securely backing up computer files, setting up your monitor and using image editing software you are not advised to go down this route.

All standard digital packages for 2010 include:

  • Free calibration images on a separate disc and calibration prints to check your computer monitor and printer or printing service
  • A set of retouched high resolution JPEG images for printing your own pictures, image books etc
  • A copy set of images resized and optimized for viewing at screen resolution
  • A copy set of e-mail sized images for sending to friends
  • A web gallery on disk and an online slide show for friends with password protection.

From approximately £650. Please call to discuss your requirements. Tel. 0141 570 1368.

Small Weddings

If you have a small wedding in the near future please call to discuss your requirements.

Wedding photographs in the studio for small weddings

If you are planning a very small 'private' wedding in the near future you could come to the studio to have your portrait taken. At one point in time this was common practice. The advantage of this approach is that you can have a simple ceremony and still have very high quality images. A minimum of 6 photographs need to be ordered. A standard portrait shoot fee and standard print costs are payable.

Payment and the Wedding Contract

For all medium and large sized weddings, which are booked 6 weeks to 18 months in advance, a booking fee of £400 is currently payable at the time of booking.

This wedding photography booking fee is not returnable in the event of wedding cancellation. The fee is not a deposit, so please insure yourself against loss. I strongly recommend that you take out insurance for all wedding services, not only photography. I am professionally insured and so think it wise that you are as well. (Try a Google search on "wedding insurance" ).

On booking, the couple and I sign a contract that is designed to protect the interests of both parties. If for example, I am unable to do the photography the contract stipulates that you will receive 100% refund. If an technical problem should arise that means I cannot produce printed proofs and an album you will received 100% refund, no questions asked.

When your cheque is encashed or your payment received electronically you have a definite booking. The booking will then be confirmed to you either in writing or by e-mail. Only the booking fee is initially required.

The balance is then due 6 weeks before your wedding day.

After you receive the proofs you have plenty of time (up to 26 weeks) to place your order. After that time an additional 5% fee is payable. Please note, I have no wish to charge more only to finish the job in a reasonable time.
