Wedding Packages

Tale a few moments to view our package options and see which one is best  for your wedding day plans. We'll be glad to help you with your goals of having your day professionally captured in  photographs and schedule a free in studio consultation to make that all possible for you. Our package prices range from $200 to $2100.

A Few Fast Facts

Your captured memories are not just for you, but also for the generations that come from your union. Provide them with beautiful artistically created  photographs that will stand the test of time-a smile with wonderful thoughts every time they're viewed!

There are only 16 Saturday's during the peak Wedding months. Don't Hesitate-Our calendar is already filling up fast for the 2008 wedding season and already starting into 2009!

8 out of every 1000 people get married every year. So in Galesburg alone there will be over 240 marriages this year. 240 marriages-16 Saturdays in the Wedding Season. That could mean there are 15 other brides having their wedding on your special day.

We have 1-3 photographers photographing every wedding/reception (depending on your package choice)-which is included in most of our Wedding Packages.

150 pictures per hour-that's what we average in our wedding/reception packages.

Should you spend $1000 for your wedding pictures, that's only an investment of five cents a day ($20 a year) by the time you make it to your 50th anniversary!

The bottom line, as you know, is not necessarily how much you end up spending on photographs. Instead, it's how much pleasure you get from them over the years!

An in studio consultation is highly suggested before we will reserve your wedding date. We would love to meet with you in person and discuss your wedding plans and thoughts so that we may provide you with the best options and include you as member in of our family of memories.

Print Credits

What are and can my print credits be used for?  It's about you making the decision on how many and what size photographs you want. From your engagement shots, your bridal session, the wedding day, to your first anniversary portrait-you get to pick and choose how to use your print credits. So it's your needs along with your wisdom and imagination that decides what size and how many memories you get in your wedding package. Every Bride is unique, so every Bride should be able to pick what she wants, not what we or anyone else says she should have!
