Wedding Packages

Payment & Terms: A deposit of 30% is required to book your wedding package. Dates will not be held or secured without payment of a deposit. Dates during the main wedding season (April – October) will often book a full year in advance. There is no guarantee how long a certain date will remain open. A payment of 50% of the remaining balance is due 30 days before the date of your wedding and the remaining balance is due on or before your wedding date. My Wedding Contract is available to download.

For Traditional Wedding package there is no travel charges for weddings within a 60 mile range (120 mile roundtrip) of the Savannah, Georgia and Hilton Head, South Carolina area – includes Bluffton, Beaufort, Hardeeville, Richmond Hill, Tybee Island, and Pooler. For South Carolina and Flordia weddings, travel fee will vary from $100 to $175, depending upon schedule. Weddings which require an overnight stay or commercial travel may have additional charge for lodging. You will be given an exact quote of any travel fees before you book your wedding.

Additional hours of coverage on your wedding day may be purchased with any package at the rate of $50 per half hour, $100 per hour. Six hours is generally enough time to capture everything, from the bride getting ready to the reception. But if events are more spread out than normal, you might want to consider additional time. If you are interested in having your rehearsal photographed you should indicate this when you book your date so the time slot can he held open. Rehearsal coverage is generally $175 if combined with a wedding package, plus any travel charges if applicable. Rates for additional full or part days are available upon consultation.

When planning the amount of coverage for your wedding, “hours of photography” begins when the first photos are taken and continues for the entire time while the photographer is on site.

All wedding packages include an online gallery of your wedding pictures so that you can easily share your wedding with friends and family worldwide. Web galleries are normally online within 10 days of your wedding. Following your wedding you will receive an email with a direct link to your wedding pictures. The images in your gallery will be optimized for web viewing and not for printing. Images in the web gallery are set so that they cannot downloaded. Individuals can also contact the photographer directly to purchase any of the images in your web gallery. You may use the images from your web gallery in personal websites or community websites, such as Facebook. Your web gallery will remain online for approximately 6 months.

CD/DVD will include all of the pictures provided to you as printed proofs. All of the images provided to a client on CD/DVD may be reproduced, distributed, or printed by the client without restriction and without credit or additional payment to the photographer. The photographer may also use the images for promotional or advertising purposes. Photos on the CD/DVD are high resolution ( 300 dpi ) which is the most common resolution for commercial printing. Images will generally be sized the same as your proofs, either 4×6 ( the most popular) or 4×5, (upon request). All of this can be confusing if you are not familiar with working with digital images and prints – the best thing to do is to just explain what you want to do with the images and we will work out a solution to meet your needs.

The JPG files on your photo CD/DVD are the exact same files used for your 4×6 wedding prints. There is no guarantee, however, that prints you make yourself or have printed from these files will look exactly like the prints that are provided to you in your wedding package. Color, clarity, brightness, overall quality, will vary depending on where the prints are made. These differences are due to inconsistencies in the way that different photo printers will interpret the color information in the JPG file. Low cost print houses (Walmart, Costco, Walgrens, etc) can often produce good quality prints but the color and overall quality will vary with each different printing machine and the way it is calibrated and maintained. To get the best results you should print the images with all automatic enhancement features turned off. The files are already color balanced and edited for the best appearance. If the software at the printer tries to enhance what has already been enhanced, you may get prints with inaccurate color and tone. The best advice, if you are having many prints made from your CD at a particular photo printer, is to have one or two prints made and compare them to the original prints provided by One Moment One Shot Photography. If you are satisfied with the prints then go ahead and get the remainder. If you are not satisfied with the results then talk with the print manager or try another location.

20 page custom wedding album – all prints on archival quality Kodak Endura Pro Paper. Album is top quality, elegant and built to last a lifetime. Wedding Album is priced at $249.

In general, any image can be printed in color or black and white. But the best black and white prints will result when the photographer knows in advance that certain images are intended for black and white printing. If you want your package to contain black and white or sepia toned prints just let me know in advance.
