Formal Album Information
Pricing for formal albums is completely separate from the wedding photography price. I do not require you to order fixed album packages, as many photographers do. We can deal with albums separately for several reasons...You have enough expenses ahead of your wedding day, why pay for an album when you haven’t even seen your photos? Another reason is complexity. There are many aspects to decide upon, such as album style, cover material, layout and of course, which photos you like most. You will have enough to plan for without designing a wedding album before your wedding day… for these reasons we can deal with the formal album after your honeymoon.

Traditional album. $950.00.
The traditional album has an appearance reminiscent of a large bible (12x13.5”). This album contains 15 pages (each have 2 sides). This album holds thirty 8x10’s or sixty 5x7’s or more 4x6’s (depending upon layout). The photographs in this album are fitted into a vignette mat, which are affixed into a heavy leather cover. The album is guaranteed for life. The price of this album, entirely assembled is $950.00. Extra pages may be added for additional price.

Contemporary album Starting at $550.00.
The contemporary album is an actual hardcover book of your wedding day. It is bound by an 11x13 inch hardcover, with impressive magazine style centerfolds of 11x 26 inches! Each album has twenty, double-sided pages and is professionally designed around your favorite photos. This album offers more flexibility in price and is the most popular. The contemporary album allows many more photos to be displayed than the traditional album and features several magazine style layouts per book. Magazine style pages may be added or substituted. The print quality is exceptional and the entire album is modern, artistic and highly customizable. Extra pages may be added for additional price. Multiple copies may be ordered at a discounted price.

Recommendations for ordering a formal album:
Please create a list of all photos/ sizes that you want to feature in the album. Please have all proof albums available. This meeting should take less then 2 hours. Additional time will be billed at $40 per hour. Selective color/cropping/ retouching/Photoshop work etc…will be billed at additional $40 per hour.

Digital Photography. I shoot everything digitally. The print quality surpasses film and allows me to serve your needs better. Shooting digitally enables me to create some really unique images using techniques like cropping, toning, retouching and selective color (B&W photo w/ highlights of original color). These services are additional and are priced at $40 per hour. Read below.

Digital files DVD. $350.00.
If you wish to buy a DVD of the digital files (like negatives) of your wedding photographs to view or for printing the cost is $350.
