New England Weddings

We just finished up wedding season 2009 and we had a great one. We met so many new couples in 2009 and we are so looking forward to 2010 with many more couples.

Brandi and I have made a decision for 2010 - We are looking for couples who are outside the state of Maine. That's right - Bring on the New England Weddings!

Yes, we will be hoping in the Truck and traveling to you to photograph your wedding!!

The catch to this is we will not be able to photograph your out of state wedding for our flat fee. We would have to create a customized quote for you, but I want to tell you exactly what that quote will be.

In The State of Maine -

So first off - if you live outside the 60 mile range of Bucksport, there will be a small fee for travel. The price of gas is not going down, so in order for us to continue to travel, we will need to increase the price slightly outside that 60 Mile range.

If your wedding is in southern Maine - Portland, Rumford, Wells, Kennebunk, York etc. We may require one night stay in a local hotel. This is all depending on the time the ceremony and reception ends. The bonus for this is, if we have made the decision in advance that an overnight stay is needed, then we will wave the fee for any additional hours to cover the reception. So your 6 hour wedding coverage, may just turn into 8 hours --- at no extra cost to you. And - since we wouldn't stay in an extravagant hotel - that extra coverage that we add, will off set the cost of the hotel! Win Win! (more on the hotel in a sec.)

Outside the State of Maine -

If your wedding is outside the state of Maine, we would still love to give you a quote.

Let's break down what the quote will be.

$700 - Covers the wedding package

(6 Hours of Coverage, 2 Photographers, $200 Album Credit, Online Gallery, and Digital Negatives)

$200 - Covers gas to the wedding, and then back to Bucksport

$100 - Covers Food for Brandi and I

This is just an Estimate: $200 for Hotel Stay.

Hotel Stays: First off, we don't need to stay in an extravagant Hotel, but we will pick our own hotel and make our own reservations. We will tell you in advance what the cost of the hotel will be. We try to stay in either a Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, someplace like that. If your wedding guest and party are staying in a hotel together and you get a group rate, we would be happy to look into that hotel as well, but we reserve the right to choose our own location.

Length of time in a Hotel: Depending on the start of photography and the location of your wedding we may stay 2 nights. So we would arrive the day before your wedding, photograph your wedding the next day, then leave the following day - 2 nights in a hotel. The bonus for you - if we stay 2 nights, that means we will have time on the first day to attend the rehearsal with you, and photograph the dinner or rehearsal for you - at no extra cost. Then since we will be there all day the next day, that leaves us unlimited time to photograph you - so you may get 10 hours for the 6 hour price. Pretty good deal huh?

As I mentioned before we will reserve our room - use our credit card and pay for the room. We prefer to keep the accommodations up to us.

So lets get back to the total ---- $1200 for the cost of a New England Wedding.

Check around - see what the average cost of wedding photography is. I bet we are below.

Again - these are all hypothetical numbers. Please don't assume that all New England Weddings are going to cost $1200. We will always take into account the distance to travel, the amount of time shooting and the bonuses we give when figuring out our personal quote.

Overall, I feel you will be getting an excellent deal.

Please contact us to set up your personal quote. We are looking forward to meeting with you.
