Packages & Fees
Our wedding packages are inclusive and
designed to be client friendly. Our custom packages are
individually designed to meet your specific needs and choices. We are
your photographer for the whole event and can be there for you from start
to finish. The photographer with whom you contract with is the
photographer who will be at your wedding.
In addition, Carol only does one major wedding per weekend
(and never more than one per day) so that she can devote her full
attention and energy to the bride and groom and their families. Why?
Because we know that with all the planning that goes into the perfect
wedding day, your photographs are one of the few things that will be yours
forever. On your wedding a day, you will have our full attention. We are
focused on you and what is going on at your event ... not where we have to
be later.
And finally, we are now able to
bring your digital event on line, with special password access, so your family can enjoy the pictures no matter where they live.
Online pricing may offer a substantial savings over custom printing by
Carol.
- All
images (printed and on CD) are labeled to coordinate with the images
on line. Additional printed proof sets are available and may be
ordered separately.
-
Special Order, Custom Digital Images are available (as standalone
prints or for your album) and are artistically prepared to your
specifications by Carol Bluestein using the latest digital software
and equipment.
- NEW ! For your convenience, we have also created a menu option that will
give you the opportunity to choose only those services that you want
or add services to the existing packages. In this way, Carol can
help you create a custom package designed specifically
for you.

basic cover is included. This gives Carol the creative freedom she

special touches and page effects that will make your album uniquely
yours.

applied against the price of the primary wedding album<
