FAMILY PHOTO - FAQ'S

 SAN DIEGO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY COST

Welcome to the dedicated page where we dive into the investment of capturing your wedding day. I believe in viewing it not just as a cost but as an investment in the legacy of your love story. These captured moments will become a cherished heirloom passed down through generations, building upon the unique tapestry of your family's history. Your wedding is a reflection of your identity as a couple, and each collection is thoughtfully curated to preserve these significant details and encapsulate the essence of your special day.

My wedding hourly rate for San Diego and the surrounding cities begins at $500 for the first 2 hours, with a minimum of 2 hours to book. As you extend the coverage, the hourly rate decreases. So for example, if you needed 6 hours then the price would be $2400 (instead of $3000).

Feel free to inquire about additional hourly rates. Most couples spend around $3500 with me for wedding photography.

 

Engagement sessions, lasting 30 mins, are available for $600.

Every package includes the following details:
- Cary Pennington as your dedicated photographer
- Professionally retouched digital images
- Online viewing and secure ordering platform
- Both color and black-and-white toned images
- Flexibility for multiple locations

Should you find photography to be a priority but your budget requires a more tailored approach, don't hesitate to reach out. I am eager to collaborate and create a collection that aligns perfectly with your needs. I look forward to the prospect of hearing from you and being a part of your special day!

Time

Our wedding photography packages typically include between 5 hours and an unlimited amount of coverage. The more time you’d like your photographer to cover your event, the more you’ll have to pay. Additional hours will cost extra.

Photo Editing

A large part of our time will be spent editing and retouching your wedding photos to make sure they look absolutely amazing. Some photography studios only edit very basic and some don't edit at all. We take pride on how we want your wedding photos to look.

Albums

Typically only our top packages have a wedding album included, if your package doesn't include an album, you can always order one later. Typically, around your 1 year anniversary is a great time!

Second Photographer

Some packages include a Second Photographer. If your wedding guest list is over 100 people, we always suggest having a second photographer for at least 3-4 hours .

Digital Files

Your wedding photographer’s cost should include the actual images. Digital files can be provided to you in a variety of ways including in an online gallery and/or via a USB drive.

Additional Shoots

Additional shoots like engagement sessions, bridal portraits or rehearsal dinners can be included into any existing package. Just request that in your inquiry to us!

Travel

Weddings locations within San Diego County have no travel cost. Travel outside San Diego County then there will be a travel fee based per mile or flat rate depending on location or you might have to pay for airfare and accommodations for a destination wedding.

Print Release

Many wedding photography packages include a “print release,” which means that you can use the photos for your own personal use. However, you will not have a full “copyright release,” so you don’t own the photos and can’t sell the.
