Hours are not interchangeable
Six focused hours can tell a complete intimate story. Ten hours may be the right fit for two getting-ready spaces, multiple locations, and a full reception ending.

What the calculator can and cannot tell you.
Team design matters
Photo and film share a timeline but solve different creative problems. Additional professionals are scoped by role, event complexity, guest count, and location.
The proposal controls
Availability, travel, accommodations, tax, labor, licensing, processing, albums, payment schedule, and custom crew are confirmed in the signed proposal and agreement.
Reserve the date. Plan the rest.
One retainer.
Three remaining payments.
A $1,500 retainer and signed agreement reserve your date on our calendar. The remaining balance is split into three additional payments, with due dates listed in your proposal.
$1,500 retainer
Reserves your event date with your signed agreement.
Three installments
Your remaining collection balance is divided across three payments. Your proposal confirms their dates.
A closer look
Compare the day, not only the number.
Consider whether you need simultaneous preparation coverage, how far apart your locations are, and how much of the reception matters to you. A longer collection makes sense when it protects a meaningful chapter—not simply because a bigger number sounds safer.
