What are your rates?


Wedding Photography

Our premium wedding photography packages start from $3,750*. Please contact us to discuss your wedding day needs. All premium packages include coverage by two photographers. Package pricing is based on the following criteria:

  • the number of hours of coverage that you are going to be looking for,
  • the number of images that will be included for you in the package,
  • whether a CD/DVD sized for small resolution or full resolution prints is included,
  • whether an engagement session is included, and
  • whether an album is included and on the specification of the album.
Certain additional a la carte products and services may be added, which will impact the package price as well.


Family Photography

Our family photography services, which include everything from maternity, to infant, baby, 1 year old, siblings, and families together sessions are priced as set forth below:

Family Photography Investment

* All prices are subject to 9.25% sales tax.


Why We Charge What We Charge

There are photographers who charge more (even a lot more) and there are photographers who charge less. Of course, we think our pricing is just right, and here is why:

  • If you're at least middle class, you can afford our services (and that's got to be most of the Bay Area)
  • We bring lots of talent, experience and creativity to the sessions
  • We use top-grade, very expensive equipment that needs to be cleaned, maintained and repaired regularly
  • We've spent a lot of time & money to learn how to use that equipment well, and we continue to educate ourselves
  • We use professional grade software and hardware products (that are not cheap) to bring you photos that are of the highest quality, that are backed up, and that are hosted for you and your family to enjoy
  • After the session is over, each image undergoes painstaking retouching, ensuring that the images you see in your private online gallery look superb!
  • We spend time on "business development" such as updating the blog, talking to and meeting with prospective clients, and going to networking events, among other things, and we are not paid for any of that time
There are probably more reasons that I am just not thinking of right now. The basic point is this--we think what we do is kind of great. If you don't, it doesn't matter what the price is, does it? And if you do, if you agree and see our photography as special, then I am certain that you will find our pricing more than competitive in the market of peers.

Of course, we are always happy to discuss any pricing questions you may have!
