Your Wedding Session
My Approach
I believe in photographing the story of your wedding day as
it unfolds by capturing every moment you expect, and even some you don’t. I take the time to understand your vision
for your day and your unique style. After the wedding, I will work with you to
create a wedding album that truly is a one-of-a-kind piece of art. There are three rates with each package
depending upon the number of guests at your wedding. In addition to the great value packages
below, you can also customize your wedding package.
Wedding Session Fees
Your wedding day session fee is set based on the size of the wedding, as larger weddings require more cameras and assistance on site, as well as additional processing hours.

Custom Packages
As there can be endless variations of what a bride/groom
might want for their wedding, all plans can be modified to fit your needs and
budget. I can work with you to put
together a plan that combines your favorite parts of different packages or
takes into consideration different album preferences, sizes or styles. You may prefer to select your album style
after you have viewed your proofs. Wedding albums can be a big investment but something you will treasure
for a lifetime. Feel free to contact me
to discuss your individual needs.
Album Styles
I offer a wide variety of quality album choices for wedding
couples as you start your lives together. I believe that your investment in your wedding photos should be
something you are proud of for years to come and should reflect the highest
quality materials available. Here are
some of the choices I offer:
- Library Bound Albums, custom designed with matted inserts
and a wide selection of page styles and covers.
- Art Magazines include digitally designed composites and can
incorporate many more images of the day.
- Art Books are favorites for their stylistic features and
also feature digital design composites. These have slightly thicker pages than the Art Magazine Albums.
- Smaller Albums, ideal for Engagement, Bridal and Parent
Albums
- Brag Books are perfect for sending a small album of 24 4x6
photos to friends or family.
- Proof Albums consist of 100 of your favorite wedding images
in a 4x5 size in your choice of several proof album styles. Ask to see my selection.
- Digital Albums are set to the music of your choice and again
feature 100 of your favorite images.
Engagement Portraits
An engagement portrait is an important part of the process
of getting married. They make lovely
gifts for family and friends, as well as giving you a beautiful photo for an
engagement announcement in the newspaper or for your invitations. Engagement sessions usually take about two
hours at a location of your choice. These are a wonderful way for a couple to see my style and for me to see
a little bit more about yours. My aim is
to capture your love and your spontaneous moments together. Price packages vary and I offer a significant
discount if I am also going to shoot your wedding (The Engagement Portrait
session is complimentary if you purchase the Gold package). Feel free to contact me for a rate
quote. In addition to your engagement
portrait, consider making a day of it in Kitsap
County!
Bridal Portraits
Bridal portrait photos have always been cherished keepsakes
because they represent a woman in full grace and beauty at a turning point of
her life. During a bridal session, I work closely with the bride-to-be to
choose an ideal venue of her choice, be it in studio or on location. Using various lighting techniques, the
bride’s favorite music and a variety of backdrops and props, we create magical
images together. I always invite the
bride to include close friends if she prefers, and we end our session with a
champagne toast, appetizers, and a selection of Boehm’s finest chocolates.
Finished portraits may be matted and framed or printed for
an album of the bride’s choice. Since
bridal portraits/products can vary greatly, feel free to contact me to request
a rate quote.
FAQs
What is the difference between a digitally designed
composite album and a library bound matted album?
A Custom Designed Composite Album incorporates a much larger number of photos within the
album, in artistically created pages that are beautifully laid out. Layouts can include text and a wide variety
of artistic enhancements from the great power of Photoshop.
A Library Bound Matted Album is a more
traditional beautiful leather album which features mat pages that showcase
photos in different arrangements on the page. Each matted page can hold up to four images on it, in a variety of size
configurations. A typical 24-page album
will hold up to 90 photos. Both types
are of a superior museum quality.
Can I buy a set of my favorite images and create my own
album with them?
All wedding packages include a DVD with your high resolution proofs on them. From these, you can create your own album if
you prefer.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, I
accept Visa and Mastercard.
How long do you keep wedding images in your files?
While your proofs would only be available on my website for
six months, two copies of all of your edited images as well as your final
wedding album would be preserved in two places: a safe deposit box and a fireproof safe in my studio for life.
What kind of turnaround time is there for an album?
If you choose to have a matted album in the traditional album format,
the turnaround time is 4-6 weeks. For a
digitally designed composite album, we would work closely together over a 2-3
week period as I would present you with completed pages. Once you have agreed upon the final design,
it is another 4-6 weeks from that time to receive your completed album. Actual production time seems to vary slightly
depending upon the season. A DVD album
usually takes 2-3 weeks to produce.
Can our friends or relatives order prints of any images too?
With any package you buy, your proofs would be available
online with a password protected link for a year after your wedding date so
that you can share images with family and friends. Anyone wishing to place orders from the site
can also do so by e-mailing me at photos@imagesbyisabel.com
When are payments due for weddings, and can we pay over
time?
I ask for ¼ down to reserve your date, ¼ about two weeks
before the wedding, and the balance on your wedding day. If you would like to arrange payments for a
short period beyond the wedding date, you may set that up, but all payments
must be paid in full before you receive delivery of your album. I also accept
Visa and MasterCard.
Once a composite album has been designed, can we buy
additional albums (for parents for instance) at a lower rate?
Yes! A great deal of
the cost of a composite album is the design time. I am happy to offer additional albums at
slightly over cost. Please ask for
prices based on the album of your choice.
What does it mean that albums are guaranteed?
All the album manufacturers I work with guarantee their
albums, meaning that all products are thoroughly inspected by quality control
teams with full replacement in the event of factory defect.
In addition, I work hard to make sure that you are entirely
happy with your final product.
Can you recommend a good caterer or florist in your area?

County has a talented group of Wedding
Related Professionals. Click on this
