Introduction to Pricing

This page is more inclined and informative for potential clients interested in Wedding Photography due to the fact that Wedding Photography is much easier to narrow down to packages for pricing than vaster areas of photography like Portraiture, Catalogue or Event Photography. An example of this is that Weddings always happen in one day, and for weddings, hairdressers and make-up artists are always pre-booked and arranged by the couple. However further down on this page in sections ‘Photography Coverage and Services Other than Weddings’ and ‘Pricing of Photo Albums, Photo DVDs, Prints and Fine Art Products’ one can find information on pricing for all photography services and products. I always recommend to potential clients interested in my services to contact me via e-mail: CLOAKING or Phone: 0488 960 939 as this enables me to give accurate quotes and cost efficient ideas much better than I can on this page. This is because I offer custom made services to best suit my clients exact needs.

Wedding Photography Coverage

This section is intended to give potential clients an idea of the cost of my services and does by no means limit the versatility of my services and products. As my client, you can discuss with me anything that you need to add or subtract from these services. It is also possible to a certain extent to split the Wedding Photography Coverage Service, for example 4hours of Photography Coverage at the beginning of the wedding day and 3hours towards the end of the wedding day. Your main objective on this page is, decide how many pages you want in your wedding album and then select a Wedding Photography Coverage suitable to fill those pages in your album. Example to best fill a 16 page 12×12in album you need about 480 photos captured, which makes the “9 Hours Photography Coverage on Your Wedding Day” most suitable.   My intention is to offer the best photography services available on the market to all my clients so please contact me and find out how the statement I just said is true and how beneficial it is to you.
Note:  Add a Pre-Wedding Reportage Style Photo Session to your Wedding Photography Coverage. A Pre-Wedding Photo Session is highly recommended because it helps you to get to know me better so you will feel much more relaxed and confident while you are being photographed on your wedding day. A Pre-Wedding Photo Session also helps me find out more about your tastes and your expectations from me. After the Pre- Wedding Photo Session you can choose your favourite photograph to be displayed at the reception on your wedding day. Price incl GST: AU$ 338
Add a Post-Wedding Reportage Style Photo Session to your Wedding Photography Coverage. I plan Post-Wedding Photo Sessions to convey the “And they lived happily ever after” kind of message. To do so I use a photography style that inspires future, longevity and a sweet, smooth conclusion to the wedding album, the photo collection and the unification story of the couple. Price incl GST: AU$ 349

  For pricing of quality prints and Fine Art products designed to showcase your Precious Wedding Photographs please refer to section named ‘Pricing of Photo Albums, Photo DVDs, Prints and Fine Art Products’.

Photography Coverage and Services Other Then Weddings

Different photography services require different methods for pricing. For example Event Photography would not require a lot of post production enhancements but it might take a long time to cover. A Portrait Session might take as little a time as one hour to cover but it needs more post production work. Catalogue Photography usually requires quite a long coverage and either a lot of post production work or no post production work at all. Therefore these three examples explain why it is almost impossible for any photographer to create an effective price list for these services. However if you need a vague pricing idea for the coverage that you need, and if the service that you need is somehow similar to Wedding Photography, you can view the section named ‘Wedding Photography Coverage’. For an accurate quote I recommend that you call me on 0488 960 939 or e-mail me via the Contact page on CLOAKING and I will supply an appropriate quote within a few hours.
If the photography service that you require is somehow complicated, or you are not sure what service is most suitable for your needs, we can organise an obligation free appointment where we meet in person, discuss your needs, make a plan, and a cost efficient quote for you.

Pricing of Photo Albums, Photo DVDs, Prints and Fine Art Products

Note:

Very attractive discounts apply when a client purchases more than one product from this list. This is due to reduction in post production work if the same images are bought on different products. Example an 11×14in Deluxe Leather Album with 16 pages + a Designer Presentation Box + two 16×24in Finished Prints + two 6×6in Deluxe Leather Parent Albums + one 30×17in Gataboard Print, will attract a AU$ 140 discount.

Photo DVDs

Photo DVDs are available to purchase at very reasonable prices. The pricing for Photo DVDs vary a lot and it depends on the amount of images on the DVD and the amount of editing and enhancements on each photo. They can be bought from as little a price as AU$ 15, to several thousands of dollars in special circumstances when the volume of post production work needed by the client adds up to hundreds of hours of editing.

Thank You Cards

Thank You Cards are mostly needed by clients interested in Wedding Photography. These cards are a very special way to show appreciation to your guests by giving them an image to remind them of you on your wedding day. Thank You Cards are available from 95 cents each.

Magazine Style Flushmount Albums

These albums are considered as the most stylish and the most sought after. They are classy, contemporary, yet they can also be designed in a more traditional way. Showcasing edge to edge image area, if you demand the highest standard albums available nowadays, look no further. Combined with my photography style and with my album design skills your collection will be absolutely stunning. The Magazine Style Flushmount Albums are all custom built from scratch to the exact desires of the client. The choices of materials, enhancements, and extras are endless with these albums and we can personalise your own album making it unique in the world. When all the photographs are edited and digitally enhanced to perfection, myself and you (the client) can meet in person and I will show you a wide range of options available to build your album in a unique way. You will be able to make decisions and suggestions while I work on the design to build an album as unique in the world as you are.
The Magazine Style Flushmount Albums come in eighteen sizes ranging from 16×16 inches to parent album sizes.  Choices include endless cover material options, endless cover enhancement options, you choose the exact amount of pages you want in your album, a variety of page enhancement options and a wide range of album boxes and cases.  With these albums the only limit is our imagination. Listed below are six of the most popular albums from this range.

Designer Albums Matt Style

The Designer Albums are very similar to the Magazine Style Flushmount Albums. They are as stylish and classy but they are more traditional and instead of displaying edge to edge image area they showcase all photographs through a matt. The Designer Albums are as versatile as the Magazine Style and they can be personalised by hundreds of options making your album as unique in the world as you are. They come in nine different sizes from 17×17 to Parent Size albums. These albums are also custom built from scratch with the same enhancement options as the Magazine Style Albums. When all the photographs are edited and digitally enhanced to perfection, myself and you (the client) can meet in person and I will show you a wide range of options available to build your album. You will be able to make decisions and suggestions while I work on the design to build the album you always dreamed about. Listed below are four of the most popular albums from this range.

Contemporary Art Deluxe Leather Photograph Book

Mostly used as model’s portfolio or wedding books, this range leaves nothing to be desired. Stylish, classy, contemporary yet with a traditional touch, made of the highest quality materials, hundred percent archival that means that they are completely acid free and if looked after they will last hundreds of years. And very importantly these albums are all perfectly bound and varnished. Available in eight sizes from 17×12 inch to 6×6 inch. Listed below are two of the most popular books from this range.

Contemporary Art Hard Cover – Custom with Photo Cover Photo Book

Mostly used as wedding Books, portrait books or as a Model’s Portfolio. These books are more contemporary and modern than the Deluxe Leather and come with a beautiful image of your choice printed on the cover. Like all books in my collection they are made of the highest quality materials, hundred percent archival that means that they are completely acid free and if looked after they will last hundreds of years. And very importantly these albums are all perfectly bound and varnished. Available in eight sizes, from 17×12 inch to 6×6 inch. Listed below are three of the most popular books from this range.

Contemporary Art Hard Cover – Cloth Photograph Book

These books are exactly the same as the ‘Contemporary Art Hard Cover – Custom with Photo Cover Photograph Books’ but they do not have a photograph printed on the cover. These books are very popular in all areas of photography and they are used as very affordable wedding books and also to showcase Portrait Sessions. Often people buy them to showcase collections of photographs that are dearer to them than the photographs they display in a traditional album bought over the counter. Available in eight sizes, from 17×12 inch to 6×6 inch. Listed below are two of the most popular books from this range.

Presentation Boxes

Available in all sizes, in black or with your favourite photograph printed around the box. Can be used to carry and store albums or loose prints in style.

Finished Prints

Available in 70 different sizes, from 3.5×5 inches, to a massive 50×90 inches. All prints are edited and enhanced to perfection. Below is a list of the most popular enlargements.

Canvas Prints stretched

Your nominated photographs, edited and enhanced to perfection, printed on 100% archival cotton canvas, to become High Quality Fine Art Prints, stretched, ready for presentation and display.  Available in 20 sizes from 11×11 inch to 80×40 inch. Listed below are the most popular sizes.

Gataboard/Foam Core Fine Art Prints

Gataboard/Foam Core is a premium mounting substrate that consists of a high density foam centre with a smooth durable exterior surface. Gataboard is finished off with a smooth white or black vinyl edging. I consider Gataboard Fine Art Prints as a more stylish alternative than prints mounted in a frame and a more modern alternative to Canvas Prints. Available in 23 sizes from 8×8 inch to 60×40inch.  Listed below are the most popular sizes.

Face Mount Acrylic Fine Art Range

Clean and sharp in appearance, Face Mount Acrylic are contemporary pieces of art work, which are considered as the latest in borderless modern presentation. I use a style called Floating Face that is a higher standard style to others available on the market because it has no visible bolts over the image. Your chosen photograph is enhanced to unmatchable perfection, mounted in Acrylic and presented to you ready to be displayed. 29 sizes available from 10×8 inch to 40×40 inch . Listed below are the most popular sizes.

Custom Made Frames

A wide range of Custom Made Frames is available. I suggest that the best time to decide which frame is most suitable for your print is when you see the actual proof and while I am discussing the best way to display the photograph with you in person.
