Inquire about your availability for your date!

On average my couple’s book about a year in advance. If it’s within a year still get in touch!

All dates are available until they are booked.

From there I love to either meet you and your fiancé for coffee or a video call. This is when we talk about our favorite movies like Star Wars (not the newest ones those suck) and Dune 2.

$1000 is due at booking to reserve the date as a retainer/deposite. 50% of the total cost is non-refundable. All reminding balance is due one week before your wedding.

For weddings outside of the Milwaukee, Madison, and Chicago area there will be a travel fee assessed on a per event basis. There can of course be other costs like hotels and airline tickets as I have attended and photographed weddings in Wyoming, Montana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I will travel to wherever your wedding is!

Definitely! Just let me know by emailing me at weddings@derrickparsons.com and I am happy to send over a full gallery or two. If you give me your time of year and location info I’ll try and find a similar gallery to send over.

Waiting is no fun.

For every wedding I deliver a sneak peek of some of the best photos from the day within 48 hours. Sneak peeks are usually around 20+ photos.

Getting everything ready takes some time. All photos are always delivered within 8 weeks, usually sooner.

I have a “free photos” state of mind. The cost of the session pays for my and any associates time, my talent and experience, travel cost, and editing time.

There is no limit to how many photos I deliver. Any number of images that meet my quality standard and help tell your story will be delivered.

As a general idea: An 8 hour wedding will receive 400-800 images. A 2 hour engagement session usually receives 70-150 images.

Yes!

This is a non negotiable and is included in any photo session of any kind I do.

I want the photos to look as good as possible.

I don’t do too much of this. Subtlety is everything here.

My default principle on this is I get rid of anything that is not normally there. God forbid a pimple day of will never be seen again.

Simply put. No.

RAW files are like raw ingredients for food, they’re not safe to consume.

What I will deliver is full size edited JPEG’s that are large enough to print a billboard. If you really wanted to.

I deliver digital galleries where you can view and download your photos. The photos will be available at the full resolution from my cameras.

The galleries are easily shareable with family and friends. If you would like to see an example just ask!

Of course!

Almost always I go solo.

There are certain things and situations where I do recommend adding one of my associates with me:

Having multiple locations for getting ready.

The wedding party leaving for photos at another location and completly missing cocktail hour type things.

Maybe it’s just a really big wedding. Around the 200 guest number I start to recommending having another camera and set of eyes with me.

How much does a second photographer/ videographer cost?

You can expect an additional $50(ish) an hour. All of that money goes to them.

I will be there rain/blizzard or shine. If there is a true “act of god” type of event we can roll forward to a mutually available date at no additional cost.

If a mutually available date cannot be found I can have an associate take my place for a reduced fee, or refund for any services not provided.
