Fashion Your Package A New Approach To Wedding Photography

RFP Removes The Confusion From Wedding Photography
The most confusing part of purchasing wedding photography is deciding which package is best for your needs. Even worse is purchasing package features that you neither want or need. Lets look at the anatomy of an average wedding assignment from the buyer's point of view and then look at what we do at RFP to turn your desire of capturing those precious moments of touching and tender memories into photography that you and your family will cherish for generations. The Consultation The wedding consultation is your first and most important step. The consultation is where you actually meet your photographer face to face, determine if you can work together, look at prior work, explain to your photographer what is most important to you about your wedding, discuss the type of wedding you are planning, any special features or traditions of your ceremony including: Wedding Ushers Escorted parents Escorted bride Wedding party placement Ring bearer / flower girl Lighting of a Unity Candle Special invocations, communion, prayer, unique rituals, or family traditions Vocalists or instrumentals Bride and Groom exit Determine the style of photography Set up your group shots When to photograph groups and candid bride and groom shots, (before or after the ceremony) *Reception* Location DJ/emcee announcement Bride and Groom entrance Parents and/or wedding party entrance Toast Meal / Hors D'evours Cake Cutting Dances - first dance, bride/father, groom/mother, wedding party, money dance Religious or secular traditions Bouquet / garter toss Bride and groom exit Limo Bring all the pertinent info to the consultation. Have the address and phone number of the ceremony and reception site/s including the name of the person in charge on location. It is helpful to have the names of the wedding party, and the people who will be included in the group shots. Also, the date and time of the rehearsal and have in mind the number of invitations to be sent. Feel free to bring along magazine clippings of the photographic style you like or particular pose styles you would like to see in your photography. With info in hand look at your choices on how to cover your wedding. You will need to decide how you want to proof your images. Proofs are typically used to choose the images you want printed, enlarged, touched up, and otherwise prepped for presentation. RFP offers three ways to proof your wedding photography! Proofing Proof Option One - Is the most cost effective, you are given your own private gallery on farrahphotos.com. Your gallery is password protected and you may give the password to anyone you wish. Your privacy is important and no one may call RFP to get the password. *We only issue the password to you, our client.* Your gallery has many popular features such as grouping of favorites, viewing your proofs in color, black and white, or sepia, and a safe and secure shopping cart for ordering all the popular sized prints or portrait enlargements. For your convenience all major credit cards are accepted. Your credit card numbers are never emailed. We are notified of your order and then must log into the secure server to retrieve your information. Credit card processing is done at our location. See A Sample Gallery Proof Option Two - Also cost effective are our Spiral Bound Proof Magazines. Your proofs are delivered in magazine form, printed 6 proofs per page. Each proof shows the image number for ordering. The magazine has a personalized graphic front cover and can even be ordered with a leather slip cover. A private wedding gallery is included with Option 2 Proof Option Three - Individual proof prints of the entire wedding collection presented in a Leather Craftsman Proof Album.

Again you have choices. That's what Fashion Your Package™ is all about; choice. In fact, if you are a real do- it- yourselfer, you may choose to purchase only the CD of your wedding collection and create your own wedding album. The CD contains the full size images processed to the proof stage without retouching or any stylized portrait finishing. You are purchasing what amounts to the digital negatives which can be printed on an ink jet printer, any 1 hour mini lab or the photo lab of your choice. You have unlimited rights to the images and can print as many as you wish in any size you wish.
