How it works
Hourly, multiplied out
My rate is $300 per hour when you book two or more hours. Packages are just that rate multiplied by the hours you need. No hidden fees, no bundling games. You pick the hours, and I help you figure out how many your day actually needs. That's also how most pricing conversations get solved, by right sizing the coverage rather than cutting corners.
Prices are current as of August 2026 and subject to change. Rates can vary a little by weekday versus weekend and by location. Coverage beyond 12 hours, which some multi day cultural weddings need, is priced a bit higher past hour 12, and I'll walk you through it.

Booking
Low risk by design
A $500 deposit holds your date. The remaining balance isn't due until one month before the wedding. I hold dates for couples whose venue is booked, so the date is confirmed.
Here's the comfort story: the deposit is the same price as an engagement session. If you book your wedding, do the engagement session, and decide I'm not for you, you walk away having paid nothing beyond what the session itself would have cost.
I don't let couples sign at our first meeting. Go home, think about it, and if it feels right, I'll email the contract.
Travel
Never a travel fee anywhere in Clark County. Surrounding Nevada and Southern California are often no fee either. Farther away, I charge only actual travel costs, and they're often waived or minimal. Always ask.
Prints and albums
Not included, but always available, even years later. Some products can be ordered right from your gallery. Albums I design myself are quoted on request.
