Events Pricing Guide

Below you'll find all the detailed info for event photography pricing. It's broken up into three sections: the event package pricing, add-ons, other fees.

After reading through it and it looks like something you can work with, follow up with me to schedule a consultation where we'll get to know each other, discuss your event vision, & even preview a couple event galleries!

For questions, you can email me at: hello@dianeb-photography.com

Event Photography package details

hourly coverage

Hourly coverage is $550 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum.

1 photographer

This package includes 1 photographer (me!). For most events, one photographer is all that's needed but depending on the timeline of the day, a 2nd photographer might be needed. During our consultation and planning process, we'll work together to determine if a 2nd photographer is needed for your event.

password-protected online gallery

Your event photos are protected with a personal password so that random strangers don't access your gallery. You'll be given two passwords: a client password (for the main client), and a guest password (for guests, or anyone you'd like to share your gallery with).

The difference between the passwords: with the client password/access, clients can mark any photo private and your guests won't see those photos.

What you can do within your online gallery: download the hi-resolution digital files of your photos, create multiple albums of favorite photos, order prints through the print shop in your gallery.

Fully edited photos

I edit any photo that's amazing. It can range anywhere between 75-100 edited photographs per hour.

The final number of edits all depends on multiple factors such as: the flow and how much is happening during the time I'm there, and if a 2nd photographer is added.

Typically, for slower-paced events it'll be on the lower end. For events that are jam-packed with events, it'll be on the higher end. And if you added a 2nd photographer to your package, that means even more photos!!

My turnaround time for the full gallery is between 10-14 weeks depending on how busy my season is.

crystal heirloom thumb drive

It's not just a lame plastic thumb drive from Best Buy. Your event photos are important, and they should be treated as such. The thumb drive will have all your hi-res edited event images so that you have backup copies of your digital files with you, should anything happen to your online gallery.

It's best to have your photos stored in multiple places in case something happens. I like to suggest at least 3 different spots. Some suggestions: backup thumb drive, another external hard drive, in the cloud, and on your computer.

other inclusions

Also included in the wedding package:
- timeline guidance and management


photo package add-ons

2nd photographer | $200 per hour

The great thing about having a 2nd photographer is that they can help me cover things that I'm not physically able to do since I'm only one human (but how nice would it be if there were 2 of me??), especially if the timeline is pretty dense and tight (that's what she said). They can capture different viewpoints of your event + more candids of your guests.

f you're not sure if you'd like to add one, that's okay! We can see how the timeline of your event looks like and from there, determine if it's needed.

Pricing to add a 2nd photographer is $200 per hour with a 2-hour minimum.

I provide the 2nd photographer, and I also edit the photos they take so that it's consistent with my editing style.

Album | starts at $1,100

A physical album - my favorite add-on! Here are the details:
- 10" x 10" flat lay album
- 25 spreads (so that's 50 pages!)
- Your choice of cover material

Your album comes in a simple white box and includes a slipcover to protect your album. Contact for more details of the album.


additional fees

Travel fees

If your event is outside of Napa and Sonoma Counties, and the California Bay Areas, and the nearby surrounding areas, there may be additional travel fees.

During our consultation (and maybe even before if you've provided enough info in your inquiry), we'll be able to discuss the travel fees and details.

Accommodation Fees

If your event is outside of my usual service areas, ya gurl has to sleep somewhere lol. We'll discuss the accommodation fees and details during the consultation, maybe even before if you've provided enough info in your inquiry.

PAYMENT BREAKDOWN:

Payment 1

This is the initial payment to officially book. It's a $600 non-refundable retainer + a signed contract. Once the retainer and contract is in place, we're all set and I'll send over my Event Photography Questionnaire.

PAYMENT 2

Your remaining balance is due 1 week before your event date.
