Total Cost Formula
Total Cost = Travel Cost + Daily Rate + Optional Edits + Optional Film
Travel Cost is calculated as $0.20 per mile for round-trip travel or if travel by plane is required I will quote you the price of that ticket. The Daily Rate is $200 per day, and optional edits are $2 per photo beyond the 100 free edits included. You can also add 1 roll of film photography for $75 as an optional add-on.
This formula applies to all types of shoots, including cars, engagements, weddings, portraits, and more.

Why Low Prices?
Why am I so cheap you may ask? By focusing on just simply capturing the raw photos without having to edit immediately I am able to get you hundreds of photos the day of the shoot. All I have to do is just upload the photos. So you get more photos and faster delivery.
Another reason is this is just a side job for me. Many photographers try to make a career out of photography and reveal that with their pricing when in reality it is just meant to be a side job. I do this because it is relaxing to me not to make a living.
Additionally, my ability to code and locally host my own website significantly reduces my operational costs. If you are a photographer and would like information or the code for this website, I’d be happy to help.
