Our new (optional) six-light LED kits:
In addition to using primarily available light whenever possible and also utilizing our state-of-the-art strobe systems whenever artistically useful, we now also offer absolutely incredible LED lighting systems but those require a highly-trained professional specialist to handle them and we need to charge an additional $50 per hour for one of these complex systems to be transported to and then properly utilized at your wedding under the direction of your lead photography artist. These LED systems each include six lights - with each light having a particular function throughout the day along with their various adapters. They are unique, highly customized systems with a set of lights just for getting ready and a unique set for the formal portraiture and a set for adding drama to the dance floor at the receptions. These systems offer less advantage for an outdoor wedding - but they can be magical at the many wonderful character-filled (but often underlit) venues appearing all over the place - like at most winery venues or converted barns or converted industrial spaces or even at many converted churches. These lights seem to love these kinds of venues. And in the Fall, when the sun is liable to set at 6:30 or earlier, they seem to fit in perfectly all over the place. With these lights we can control their brilliance, tone, softness and spread - and light up any venue just the way we want. We can work in perfect harmony with any existing light - but also make you the stars of the evening by controlling the lighting just so - a nice just so pool of light up front for your ceremony, a nice dramatic pool of light for your first dance, and beautifully soft light for even the largest groups during portraiture and beautiful, soft modeling light when we bring those lights up close for your individual portraiture.
For the past several months their use was included in the pricing, but not all weddings can even benefit from their use. So, I have decided to simplify and lower our pricing back to our traditional service that everyone has loved until now and make the LED systems optional at the $50 per hour rate - which is actually below our cost for them as that includes their specially trained assistant. They are not absolutely critical for wonderful photography and their need should be discussed with our artists. They can also be added to a contract at any time as long as one of the kits is still available. Outdoor venues during the day don't benefit from them, for example, and some venues just have wonderful natural lighting we would not want to disturb. Our artistic utilization of available light along with our state-of-the-art strobe systems will do just fine under many circumstances and there is no additional charge for their use.
