The Bast Photography Difference
When building out the package details on our services, we decided to cater our offerings to what clients often voice as their desire for a package. What we came up with is a blend of value and options that should suite your needs. Beyond offering you our experience in being photographers and using professional grade Canon cameras / L-Class lenses for the pictures we take; you also receive many benefits for choosing us for your photography needs.
Hassle Free Coverage
Out wedding package automatically includes two photographers for the entire duration you decide on for your special day. One month before the wedding after all your plans have been finalized, we lock in the number of hours that you actually need, so you are not paying for more than you need. By going with us, you can rest assured that you will have the right amount of coverage for the type of photos you are hoping to capture for your wedding.
Digital Rights to the Photographs / Print Release
Each session includes full ownership of the pictures we take for you. What benefit does this provide to you? Having full ownership means that you can print your pictures off where ever and when ever you like. You will not have a watermark on each image that distracts from the composition and advertises our services. You can post and share your pictures with whomever you like, and they can also print them off.
Fully Edited and Retouched Images
We do not limit the number of pictures from your shoot that we will edit and provide to you! If the photo looks good, we will edit it and include it on your disc / USB. Most shoots we OVER shoot the number of photos so we can make sure you get the best photos possible. From there we select the best from duplicates to edit and send your way. An average family shoot includes 150+ edited images. Weddings range between 900 - 1500 images depending on how long we are at your wedding. If you were hoping for a different edit on an image, contact us within one month after the pictures arrive and we can send you a different version from the RAW file of the shoot.
Pictures Edited in a Timely Manner
You will not have to wait long for your pictures to arrive. Most shoots are edited within a couple weeks, but we promise to send you your pictures at the longest one month from the date of your shoot, EVEN during the busy seasons of life.
*Sales tax is 6.875% which is added on top of the wedding package price and hourly photography rate.
