THE COLLECTIONS

 In case you are confused, “collections” are sometimes referred to as packages. We won’t call them that on purpose … we think collections sounds much more exotic. And we let you call our creative works of art “pictures,” so let us have our collections!

 There are four collections to choose from. They range from all-inclusive to the basics. Despite our efforts to please everyone, there’s bound to be a few couples who don’t like the collections that we created, so we’re happy to offer “a la carte.” We think this is French for “have it your way,” but we’re not sure. So, browse the collections and then if you’re not happy with what you see, build your own. Bear in mind that the prices for customized collections will be slightly higher than those that we design.

 If you pre-order any additional items (extra prints, folios, etc.), you are entitled to a 15% discount. Anything that is ordered after the wedding will be at the prices shown within. Oh, and in case you thought you’d order $1,000 worth of extras “just in case,” and expect a refund later … it won’t happen. So, please order only what you are sure you will want (and can afford).

 Oh, one last thing. The governments have employed us as tax collectors.  Please add their 12% gratuity to the prices you see here. We’ll make sure they get your money.  And before you ask, we do not offer a 12% discount for cash purchases.

 

THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION                                                  $5775

The Ultimate was designed for those who want to have everything! It goes above and beyond the usual photographic collection. It gets your wedding party involved before the wedding (we might even remind them of their duties as part of the wedding party if they’re not pulling their weight). It also has up to eight hours of the photographer’s time on the big day. When you want the best, this is it! Take a look below to see what else it includes:

• Digital negatives

 What’s NOT included is what the governments will take from you through us. Add 12% to the price above and we’ll ‘gladly’ forward the payment for you.

 

EMBASSY COLLECTION                                                         $4375

The Embassy is the collection you want if the Ultimate Collection had just a bit too much stuff in it for you (or if it’s just a bit outside your budget). The Embassy has an album for the couple. It even has albums for the parents. It has framed prints for friends and family…. not to mention a framed wall print or a photographic guest book for the couple.  We generously include seven hours of photographic coverage.

ESTATE COLLECTION                                                              $3175

This is our most popular collection. It has plenty of pages in the bridal album to tell your wedding story and a couple of gifts for the family and friends. A guest book or framed print is in here, too! The best value for those couples who don’t need albums for the parents.

 The governments want to help us teach you how to put money away for a rainy day. Your first lesson is to give them 14% of what you pay us for this collection. It won’t be any fun … kinda like a rainy day … but some of life’s best lessons make no sense at first. One day, you may thank them.

 

CHATEAU COLLECTION                                                        $2375

For those who want the basics, the Chateau Collection is the way to go. A fabulous 20 page album (approximately 60 images) will proudly display your wedding photographs for a lifetime. Not to mention that Al will follow you around like a puppy dog for six hours!
