HOW TO BOOK YOUR WEDDING DATE   Payment & Terms:   A deposit of $350  is required to book your wedding package.  Dates will not be held or secured without payment of a deposit.  Dates are often booked well in advance so there is no guarantee how long a certain date will remain open.   A payment of 50% of the remaining balance is due 30 days before the date of your wedding and the remaining balance is due on or before your wedding date.  My wedding contract is available to download.

Area of Service & Travel :   No travel charges for weddings within a 50 mile range (100 mile roundtrip) of the Lewiston, Idaho and Clarkston, Washington area - includes Moscow, Pullman, Orofino, Pomeroy, Kamiah, Grangeville.   Regional weddings (Idaho - Washington - Oregon) outside of 100 miles roundtrip will have a mileage charge of $1.00 per mile to compensate for time and expenses.  Travel cost for Spokane-Coeur d Alene area is generally $150, McCall $175.  Weddings which require an overnight stay or commercial travel will have additional travel charge.  You will be give an exact quote of any travel fees before you book your wedding.

Sales Tax Prices listed on this page do not include sales tax.  Since we do business in both Washington and Idaho, your sales tax will vary depending on where the final wedding package (your photos and album) is delivered to you.  In Washington state, sales tax varies from county to county and, effective July 1, 2008, your tax will be the local rate to which the package is delivered.  In Idaho, the tax rate is 6% in most of the state, 6.5% in Nez Perce County.   

Destination Weddings:  I am available for travel worldwide.  For more info click here.

Photography Coverage : When planning the amount of coverage for your wedding, "photography coverage" or "shooting time" begins when the first photos are taken and continues for the entire time while the photographer is on site.  Additional hours of coverage may be purchased with any package at the rate of $40 per half hour, $75 per hour.  In most cases, there will be no charge for up to one half hour of additional time with Wedding Collections 2, 3, 4.  

Additional  Coverage & Rehearsals: If you are interested in having your rehearsal photographed you should indicate this when you book your date so the time slot can he held open.  Rehearsal coverage is generally $175 if combined with a wedding package, plus any travel charges if applicable. 

Shipping: If you are in the Lewiston-Clarkston area you may pick up your prints in person and there is no shipping charge.  But, if you are out of the area and you prefer your items to be shipped, your set of prints and album may be shipped to any USA location for $15.  Additional print orders will be shipped for $6 per shipment.  Shipping may be included in the package price or paid at the time items are shipped.

All prices are subject to change and packages shown on this page may change at any time.  Any price or package changes after you book your wedding will not affect your wedding.  You are guaranteed all prices that are in effect at the time you book your wedding date. 

All items included in your package must be redeemed within six months of your wedding.   All items that are included in your package, including album and print allowance, must be ordered and redeemed within six months of the date of your wedding.  Any remaining or unused allowance will expire six months after your wedding. 

Photo CD   All images provided to a client on CD may be reproduced or printed by the client without restriction and without credit or additional payment to the photographer.  The photographer may also use the images for promotional or advertising purposes.

Printing from your Photo CD:  The JPG files on your photo CD are the exact same files used for your 4x6 wedding prints.  There is no guarantee, however, that prints you make yourself or have printed from these files will look exactly like the prints that are provided to you in your wedding package.  Color, clarity, brightness, overall quality, will vary depending on where and how the prints are made.  These differences are due to inconsistencies in the way that different photo printers will interpret the color information in the JPG file.  Low cost print houses (Walmart, Costco, Walgrens, etc) can often produce good quality prints but the color and overall quality will vary with each different printing machine and the way it is calibrated and maintained.   To get the best results you should print the images with all automatic enhancement features turned off.  The files are already color balanced and edited for the best appearance.  If the software at the printer tries to enhance what has already been enhanced, you may get prints with inaccurate color and tone.   The best advice, if you are having many prints made from your CD at a particular photo printer, is to have one or two prints made and compare them to the original prints provided by Digital Arts Photography.  If you are satisfied with the prints then go ahead and get the remainder.  If you are not satisfied with the results then talk with the print manager or try another location. 

Online Wedding Gallery:  All wedding packages include an online gallery of your wedding pictures so that you can easily share your wedding with friends and family worldwide.  Web galleries are normally online within 10 days of your wedding.  Following your wedding you will receive an email with a direct link to your wedding pictures.  The images in your gallery will be optimized for web viewing and not for printing.  Images in the web gallery are set so that they cannot downloaded.   Individuals can also contact the photographer directly to purchase any of the images in your web gallery.  You may use the images from your web gallery in personal websites or community websites, such as MySpace.   Your web gallery will remain online for approximately 6 months. 

Black & White Prints:  In general, any image can be printed in color or black and white.  But the best black and white prints will result when the photographer knows in advance that certain images are intended for black and white printing.  If you want your package to contain black and white or sepia toned prints just let me know in advance. 

Comment on minimum number of wedding prints : My style of photography is such that I take a large number of photos.  In most cases the bridal couple will receive more 4x6 prints than the minimum number specified for their package.  There is no charge for these additional prints and you can make the decisions about which ones to place in your album.  Any additional prints will also be included on your photo CD. 

Creative Techniques:  There are wide range of creative techniques that can be applied to your photographs, subtle changes in color or toning, mixtures of black and white and color, and other artistic techniques.  If you are searching for a certain "look" we can discuss the options available.  There is generally no additional charge for creative techniques used with the wedding albums in Wedding Collections 2, 3, 4.    

Wedding Albums provided with the packages shown above are professional high quality bound albums. Prices for additional album styles are available upon request.
