pricing

DEUS Photography offer full custom photo shoots or complete packages.

For the big wedding day (end even surrounding days), most photographers will just offer you a maximum of 8 hours of photography. That sounds fine to most and seems like it would be enough, but you can trust us on this, we haven’t shot a wedding yet that was shorter than twelve hours and most of the real moments that tell a story happen when you least expect it.

Shooting photo-journalistic style, we tell a story with the camera only, this means we prefer to be there from start to finish, until we as professionals decide that the story is told in your eyes.

If you want to capture the whole day, most weddings last 14-15 hours, not 8.

We can really be there from any point, but prefer to capture all the details, especially both bride and groom getting ready, either with their family or by themselves if that’s what they need, and finally up to at least the more animated part of the reception where everyone is finally relaxed and enjoying themselves.

We strive on being in-obtrusive meaning you wont find us throwing orders at you and disrupting your day at the wrong times. However we consider ourselves artists, and art does require a certain degree of direction, so we will incorporate that into the day at the right times so that we have that final product that gives you heart felt memories forever.

We also take pride in our photo editing, and a lot goes on behind the scenes in that respect, meaning that its not just 14-15 hours, but sometimes days on end that we spend on getting the final product just right….every photo you receive gets our attention.

You can either decide what you want in your coverage including extra albums, proofs, prints, canvases or framed images, or ask about one of our packages with things like beautiful hand made albums and DVD folios, and of course a slide show and your hi-res images on disc.

All day wedding coverage for one photographer starts at $2400, and with two photographers $3000, simple packages with a beautiful hand made album from $4000, and the works including a separate engagement session at $4800.

WHAT’S THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING TWO PHOTOGRAPHERS?

Having two photographers means that both the bride and groom will receive coverage during their preparation. It will also ensure that every detail, every guest and every special moment is captured. We work as a team to maximize the variety of images you receive. Our couples have also valued the balance and perspective that comes with having both a male and female photographer on the day.

DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?

“As a natural-light and photojournalistic-style photographer I don’t feel the need for a studio. I will usually meet with clients at their home or another location of their choice. I will bring along with me some example albums, slideshows and maybe even a cupcake (if you’re lucky!).” – Matt Osborne

……any other questions don’t hesitate to ask, we won’t bite.
