Ok, We have been debating a recession buster wedding package...

Jeannie and I have been debating creating a recession buster-wedding package. We know that the area has been hit super hard with layoffs and money is very tight. So tonight, we sat down and hashed out what we consider a very fair package for a recession buster. Therefore, here goes....

Recession Buster Package

- Option 1 -
Option 1 consists of two hours of coverage occurring immediately before your ceremony. If your wedding starts at 1 p.m., we will start photos at 10:30 a.m. These two hours are yours to use. If you want formals of only you and your fiancé, then that is what we will focus on. We can go to a park, indoors and outdoors. The two hours are your time. When the two hours are done, we leave and let you enjoy the rest of your day.

This option will give you fantastic images of which to remember your wedding day. Your images will be hosted on http://www.isphoto.zenfolio.com/ for two years for you, your friends and your families to order prints. With your package will be included 100 custom 4x6 thank-you postcards with an image (of our choice) from your wedding. The postcard will direct your friends and family to the hosting site for ordering images so you do not have to worry about ordering for everyone.
This option does not include ceremony coverage.

-Option 2-
Option 2 consists of two hours of coverage. One hour dedicated to your ceremony and one hour of formals dedicated specifically to you and your fiancé and wedding party. If your wedding starts at 1 p.m., we will start the formal photos at 11:30 a.m. finishing with the formals 30 minutes before your ceremony starts, and capture your ceremony. The hour for formals is yours to use how you wish. If you want formals of only you and your fiancé, then that is what we will focus on. We can go to a park, indoors and outdoors. The two hours are your time. When the ceremony is finished, we will leave you to enjoy your day.

Option 2 will give you fantastic images to remember your day by including your wedding ceremony. Your images will be hosted on http://www.isphoto.zenfolio.com/ for two years for you, your friends and your families to order images. With your package will be included 100 custom 4x6 thank-you postcards with an image (of our choice) from your wedding. The postcards will direct your friends and family to the hosting site for ordering so you do not have to worry about ordering for everyone.

The catches...
(You knew there had to be some right.)

• There will be no additional time available for purchase with this package. If you want more coverage of your day then you need to book the basic package.
• This package does not include engagement portraits, nor does it include a proof book.
  This option is for the bride and groom who want amazing portraits of their day, but they do not want or need all day coverage.
• With the typical basic package, you will receive more than 400 images from your day. We are expecting that with the recession buster package you will receive in the range of 150, it could be a few more it could be a few less depending on how fast we are able to change posses and locations, and how ready people are to be photographed.
• With this package, there will be no discounts on Ala Carte items and it is not eligible for the bridal fair special.
• This package is NON-transferable and can end at anytime. We are limiting booking of the recession buster to only 10 weddings in 2009. It is not eligible for 2010 weddings. If you are interested in this package, you need to call and speak with us as soon as possible.
• With this package, travel costs will be strictly enforced.

Thanks for reading through this and we hope to hear from you soon.
