AVAILABILITY FOR Ala Carte Weddings!sm

Generally, Ala Carte Weddings!sm is not available for Saturday weddings during May, June, July, August and December. But please ask, as a booking may be possible. Ala Carte Weddings!sm may be booked for Saturday weddings during the other months of the year, and for any day other than Saturday throughout the year.

HOW Ala Carte Weddings!sm WORKS

With Ala Carte Weddings!sm you purchase professional time and film to cover your wedding day or any portion of it. You receive one copy of each exposure made; these are color 4x5 wedding 'preview prints' made at the time of film processing and they are yours to keep. Any other service or merchandise is purchased separately, including a bride and groom album, parents' albums, portrait sessions, announcement photographs, thank you cards, additional sets of preview prints and enlargements. Most services or merchandise are purchased at their normal retail price, however enlargement packages are available at savings from 10% to 25% off normal prices (see details below).

PRICES FOR Ala Carte Weddings!sm

Professional Time: $ 125.00 per hour (minimum 3 hours, or $ 375.00). This hourly rate includes 1 roll of medium format (15 exposure) film with processing and 4x5 preview printing for each full hour billed (so 3 rolls of film, or 45 exposures, are always included).

Additional Film: Is billed at $30.00 per medium format (15 exposure) roll with processing and 4x5 preview printing. On most Ala Carte Weddings!sm with photography at just the ceremony site, you can expect about 12 rolls to be used. This would mean an additional film billing of about 9 rolls, or $ 270.00. So a typical total billing would be about $645.00.
