ew, money

oh, man! money is hard. to put it simply, we’re on the expensive side of rural photographers and on the cheap side of city photographers. we charge enough so that we can justify our top-o-the-line gear and veteran-level-skillz. our prices are intended to be relative to our close-by colleagues in terms of experience and deliverables. in case you haven’t already read it elsewhere, i (sara) have been doing weddings since 2010, and mat with me since 2014, but we’ve both been shooting non-wedding things for even longer than that. we’ve done over 200 weddings as a team and we’re goshdarn good at it, so the idea here is that you’re gonna get what you pay for.

also, i have intense ADHD and therefore no interest in doing things that don’t bring me dopamine. wanna know what brings me the most dopamine in the world, and i mean IN THE WORLD? it’s happy, gushing clients. so my motivation to make you be that is, like, even higher than my motivation for money. but i do also need money to live, so, pay me, thank you.

2025/2026 PRICES **all prices subject to HST, SORRRRYYYYYY governments, amirite**

the 1-man-not-a-package package – $500/hr
SARA CAN BE ENOUGH, OKAY? this package is sara only. this package will yield less photos than if mat was there too, but there will still be probably more than you asked for. this package has no frills. it isn’t even a package. it’s an hourly rate, the same as a portrait session or whatever. it’s sara shooting your wedding for as long as you want for $500 per hour, except after 9pm, at which point it becomes $300 per half hour. not even joking. if you want me to drink evening coffee and stay up past my bedtime on the hourly, yer gonna pay.

the 2-man-not-a-package package – $700/hr
this package is not a package. it’s an hourly rate, but it comes with both mat AND sara! and that means we can be in two places at once. it’s sara and mat shooting your wedding for as long as you want for $700 per hour, even after 9pm.

the package everybody gets – $5500
engagement session by mat or sara and photography by sara+mat of: wedding day – guys and girls getting ready + ceremony + portraits + reception until approx 30 mins after the dance floor opens + downloadable gallery of edited high-res images. consecutive coverage begins approximately 1 hour before the dress goes on. gallery will be active for 10 years. 

the biggie pack – bigger, badder, beefier – $7500
engagement session by mat or sara and photography by sara+mat of: wedding day – guys and girls getting ready + ceremony + portraits + reception, and, at some point after 8 or 9pm mat or sara will leave but the other one of mat and sara will stay until your fancy exit with sparklers and/or fireworks and stuff (if you’re not having a fancy exit you should have something else to make our extra coverage really count!) **consecutive coverage begins approximately 1 hour before the dress goes on. “exit” must be completed by 11pm. we can absolutely do a pretend exit if you’re not ready to leave the party by then. includes downloadable gallery of edited high-res images + 20-30 page hardcover wedding album sized 8×10 or similar

CUSTOM – elopements, destinations, atypical or multi-day weddings – $$?$?$??$?$?$
tell me what you need and i’ll figure out what it’ll cost ya. we like to be accommodating and fair to both ourselves and our clients.

FAMILY, BESTIES, PORTRAITS, HEADSHOTS + BRANDING – $250-500
these guys are offered in full and mini, and both include an edited high-res downloadable gallery. Full sessions can be at your chosen location for $500 and go from roughly 45mins to 2hours, depending on how things are going. Minis are $250 for 20mins and are ***locally*** available all the time. More than 10 minutes outside of Cobourg will cost ye fer me travel and time, matey. Not sure why I’m a pirate now, but I’m leaving it.

BOUDOIR – both single and couples (… or throuples… maybe even org– no, i should draw the line at throuples. shouldn’t i? … honestly not sure where to draw the line, hit me up i guess) are $500 and include a downloadable gallery of high-res edited images.

RETOUCHING is available upon request and will be billed at a rate of $2 per minute of me working on it, within reason (like if i get up or i’m distracted i’ll stop the clock, I PROMISE I’M PAINFULLY HONEST). in case you’re like, “but sara, it says all the prices include edited photos … ?!?!?!” YESSSSS, they DO! but retouching is different. “editing” corrects colour and brightness and contrast and crop and gives the photo that je ne sais quoi look of your chosen photographer. retouching is gonna fix up whatever you want on top of that — removing ugly objects in the background, smoothing skin (or rendering you a textureless sim if that’s your jam), whitening teeth, nip-tucking… basically magazine-ifying the photo to whatever degree you request. some photos are gonna take me like 2mins to fix up and i likely won’t even charge for those, but others require painstaking patience and time on my part, and i’m usually a lot better than a robot or filter program. so once you’ve gotten your photos, if there are any where you wish something just looked a little different, feel free to ask me to fix it up. i can send samples if you’d like to see before and afters, but i don’t think any of my past clients would want me to do them dirty like dat by exposing them on my website, y’know?
