ANNIE HALL PHOTOGRAPHY
WEDDING
PRICING GUIDE
Dear marriers,
It’s your wedding day, not my photoshoot. I believe deeply that my role as photographer on your wedding day is to tell an honest story without being obtrusive or fabricating moments for photo ops.
You and your guests will have the space to live into your wedding day with a photographer who approaches this intimate access with empathy and a calming energy.
And just as importantly - your experience with me should be one of ease and trust. What matters most to you about your wedding day and your photographs is what matters most to me.
WHAT I OFFER:
To keep things simple and flexible, everything is offered a la carte. Start by selecting the amount of wedding day coverage you’d like, then customize the rest as you go. Additional options can always be added during the planning process, or included now if you prefer.

INCLUDED IN WEDDING COVERAGE:
My Wedding Client Guide - a carefully crafted resource designed to guide you through the photography side of your wedding, with helpful tips, planning advice, and insights for a smoother experience.
A questionnaire to gather all the details of your wedding, your family portrait list, and personal preferences.
A final check in Zoom call to discuss the logistics of the day as well as your overall vision and priorities.
A private online gallery where you can download your high-resolution images and order prints and albums directly from the built in print shop.
FULL WEDDING DAY COVERAGE (9 HOURS)
This coverage option captures the full arc of your day - from the anticipation of getting ready, to relaxed family and newlywed portraits, all the way through the energy of your reception events until the dance floor. It leaves room for all the main events, the unexpected moments in between, and an honest storytelling of your whole day. It’s my favorite way to document a wedding and all its people, and gives you the space to move through the day without feeling the need to squeeze anything in.
I recommend this coverage for couples who want the freedom and ease of knowing I’ll be there for it all.
$6400
ESSENTIAL WEDDING COVERAGE (6 HOURS)
Coverage typically begins about an hour before the ceremony and continues through the main moments of the reception. It’s a great fit for couples who aren’t planning a first look or extensive getting-ready coverage and prefer to keep family portraits simple. This option is designed to focus on the heart of the day with a simpler, focused timeline.
$5500
WEEKDAY CELEBRATIONS / RECEPTIONS ONLY: $3500
3 hours of coverage of your intimate weekday wedding (City Hall, private residence, etc) or reception events without a ceremony or formal group photographs. Weekend availability is limited.
Need a little more time? Additional hours are $500 and can be added when during booking, later on while planning, and even on the wedding day itself.
WELCOME NIGHT COVERAGE
Coverage of your rehearsal dinner or welcome party, from your guests’ arrival through any toasts or special words. Getting to know your loved ones in this relaxed setting helps them feel at ease and allows me even greater access so I can capture your wedding day more intimately.
Travel and accommodations required for me to spend the night close to your events is included.

ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS
DOCUMENTARY LIFESTYLE SESSION:
A slower, more natural storytelling approach with an emphasis on your candid interactions. It might look like photographing you in your home together, wandering through your favorite neighborhood, and ending at your favorite eatery or hillside to watch the sunset. Ideally, I’m here to join you for what a date together looks like, with just a few “Hey guys, look this way real quick!” sprinkled in. I’ll be with you for about 3-4 hours, taking time to simply document the two of you together. Travel to the Bay Area is included.
$1400
SACRAMENTO SESSION:
A 45 minute session with gentle guidance at one Sacramento location. We’ll keep things simple, relaxed, and focused on the natural connection between you.
$850
FULL WEDDING GALLERIES
Real, complete weddings with every image the couple received, so you can see how I photograph a wedding day from start to finish.

FAQ
-
I think people freeze up or feel uncomfortable when a camera is pointed at them because they think they’re supposed to strike a pose, look a certain way, or perform for the camera.
I believe in letting people be who they are, continue living in the moment, and not change themselves for the sake of a camera. So when we spend time taking some couples portraits, it’s more about spending quality time together before the ceremony; it might look like taking a stroll and hanging out together while wearing really fancy clothes.
I also believe a classic portrait where you’re both looking toward the viewer is great, too. No need to be overly romantic if that’s not your thing, just a great portrait where you both look happy and comfortable that’ll be the first that gets framed by the parents.
-
I shoot exclusively on digital cameras - it works well with my process and workflow to be able to capture those decisive moments in all sorts of lighting conditions. Additionally, I only work with cameras that have the ability to record every image to two separate memory cards at once. That means if ever one card were to fail, your photographs are already backed up on the second.
-
Your wedding gallery is typically delivered 4-6 weeks after the wedding. For a full day wedding you can expect at least 450 final images, or 50-75 images per hour of coverage.
Images are delivered as high-resolution JPG files available to download through your online gallery.
You have full personal usage rights, including printing and sharing.
-
I photograph nearly all weddings as a single shooter by personal preference, allowing for a smaller media footprint and a more unobtrusive presence throughout the day. For some weddings, a second photographer can be beneficial depending on your locations, timeline, and priorities. I’m happy to help you decide whether one would meaningfully add to your coverage.
-
Not a problem at all! I don’t charge extra for image privacy. Just let me know your preference during the booking process.
-
I always bring multiple cameras and tools to any event that can’t be replicated.
I work with professional digital cameras that have 2 memory slots in each so that in the rare case that a memory card fails, a second copy is secure.
Alongside making sure to back up your photographs, I also make sure never to leave my gear in my car unattended.
-
This is a very serious situation, and one I do not take lightly. I would never want to leave a couple without a photographer on one of the most important days of their lives.
In the event of a serious illness or medical emergency, I have a trusted network of experienced photographers I can turn to - people I would confidently have capture a wedding in my place. That said, my work and reputation mean everything to me, and it would take something truly extreme—like a hospitalization or major physical injury—to prevent me from being there.
I take every precaution to stay healthy and in top form leading up to a wedding, and in all my years of photographing weddings, I’ve never missed a wedding nor been late to one. Should I ever need additional support for physical reasons, I would discreetly arrange that without impacting your experience.

Travel is included for weddings and sessions within about 2 hours or 90 miles from Sacramento
For anything a bit farther out, I may add a travel fee to cover drive time and mileage.
If the location requires an overnight stay (usually if it’s 2.5+ hours away or has an early start), I’ll add a flat $300/night lodging fee.For out-of-state or flight-required weddings, I’ll send over a custom travel quote based on what’s needed.
You’re ready to book! What happens next?
Tell me about what your desired coverage and add-ons are, and I’ll create a quote for you. In order to reserve me for your date I just need a signed contract and a 50% retainer.
Once those are taken care of you’ll receive a confirmation and welcome email with a link to your client portal, my wedding client guide, and what to expect next in the following months.
