Rick Offers Six Wedding Photography Packages.

Most wedding packages include:

No time limit,

The creation of an unlimited number of images from which to choose (usually in excess of 500 or 600 images),

Special off-camera lighting for all photographs and hidden reception lighting that "looks like the movies" in pictures,

Lighting is Rick's specialty! He never attaches a flash to his cameras. (Rick believes that the worst place for a flash is ON the camera.) Come to the studio to see how Rick's lighting really works!

Rick stays late at the reception!

Photojournalism: another of Rick's strengths as most images are not planned or posed.

Several choices of custom-made, flush-mount, panorama-style wedding albums of the highest quality including covers made with glove leather, suede leather, distressed leather and textured leather in a wide variety of colors.

A flexible photography allowance which allows many custom album features as well as photographs which may be placed on walls or table tops,

Retouching of faces to make everyone look their best,

Scene-enhancing art work and page collages to make your photography even more spectacular, typically 25 hours of art work to create a truly custom look (see samples in the studio),

As an option, Rick's five-light portrait system on location (usually at the church) to provide studio-quality photographs of the bride, the groom, their families and the wedding party,

A family portrait session good anytime up to one year following the wedding day,

Internet posting of wedding images,

An engagement session with beautiful outdoor settings done on a sunset beach in Florida or at the studio in Michigan,

Custom packages are developed on request.  A retainer of $500 reserves the date. The retainer is completely refundable for ten days.

COMPLETE wedding packages are priced from $1995 (or less!) And even the $1995 package includes a leather, flush-mount, panorama-style album full of photographs and is in your hands three weeks following your wedding day!

If you are looking for truly spectacular wedding photography, a visit to Rick's studio will be well worth your time.

(Some Packages even include all "negatives" so that no matter what happens to your photographs, they will live forever.)

Rick's wedding packages include many extras!

-Rick never attaches a flash to any of his cameras. This makes a HUGE difference in how his pictures look!

Multiple sources of tiny, hidden, off-camera lighting are used for all photographs.

-Rick and his staff invest an average of 70 hours with each of his weddings.

-By far, most photos are not planned or posed and are done in a documentary, photojournalistic style.

-Rick typically brings one or two assistants to make the photography go quickly and smoothly.

- National award wedding photographer Rick DeLorme photographs all weddings.

-Only the finest, state-of-the-art, top-of-the-line, professional cameras are used.

- Photography is offered in several locations including outdoors.

- Black and white photography is offered at no extra charge.

- As an option, Rick uses a FIVE-LIGHT PORTRAIT SYSTEM with an eight-foot hand-painted canvas background to create spectacular portraits in an isolated location in the church or at the bride's home. These planned posed portraits include the bride's portraits, the bride and her family, the groom's portraits, the groom and his family, and wedding party portraits. These are done before the ceremony which allows more time for fun after the ceremony!

- WEDDINGS WITH LIGHTING LIKE THE MOVIES: Rick uses four to six tiny, hidden flash units at the reception for exciting photojournalism of the fun all night long.

-Unlike most photographers, Rick stays late at the reception.

- A day or two before the wedding, a planning session is held to prepare a written itinerary for the whole day. This assures that the day will go according to the wishes of the bride and groom.

- Copies of the itinerary are distributed at rehearsal so that everyone knows the plan. When every one knows the plan, the day goes very smoothly.

- As soon as one day following the wedding , all pictures may be viewed and the wedding album may be planned.

- All packages include a custom, leather, flush-mount, panorama-style wedding album. Sample albums are available in the studio.
