This is a question I get a lot, so I wanted to share the answers here โ because if you're wondering, chances are someone else is too. ๐ค
I know every dollar matters right now. So I want to be fully transparent about what's behind the numbers at JMP โ and why what's listed on my website is already not the full price.
Here's what I mean:
๐ธ The Vow Collection โ 3 hours | $1,000
You're essentially getting an hour on me. Standard rate for 3 hours would run $1,500.
๐ธ The Keepsake Collection โ 5 hours | $2,000
Same story โ standard rate for 5 hours is $2,500. Another hour, on the house.
๐ธ The Heirloom Collection โ 8 hours + second shooter | $3,000
This one? Standard rate for everything included would be $5,600. You're saving $2,600. It is by far the best value I offer, and honestly, it's the one I'd point any couple toward if they're trying to make their budget stretch.
And none of that even touches the extras baked into every single package โ engagement sessions, timeline guidance, planning assistance, and a printable wedding planning binder. Those aren't upsells. They're just part of how I work, because I want you to feel supported every step of the way, not just on the day itself.
I priced things this way on purpose. The economy is a lot right now, and beautiful wedding photos shouldn't be out of reach because of it.
Custom packages are available if you have a specific budget in mind โ but fair warning, ร la carte rates are $500/hour for me and $200/hour for a second shooter, so the bundled packages are almost always the smarter move.
And for our active military and veterans โ you get an additional 10% off, always. I come from a military family. It's the least I can do.
Want a full breakdown showing discounted vs. standard rates? Just ask โ I'm an open book.
