A bit more about Weddings and cost….

First and foremost, I understand the value of the investment you'll make in your wedding photography. Yes of course it's a financial investment, but just as importantly it's an investment of your trust in my expertise and 15 years of professional experience. Memories, decisive moments – photographs which will transcend the event and become images of great sentimental and artistic value. My goal is to bring you these qualities within a pricing structure that is simple and flexible and a working relationship with my clients that is fun and relaxed. My pricing structure allows you to create an individual collection of services based on the number of hours of coverage that suit your event. There are no gimmicks, you can select the services that work for you without those that are not right for your event or your budget. A cornerstone of my pricing is the inclusion of the high resolution files burned to DVD. I can't overstate what a HUGE value this represents financially and archivally. Each image is edited, color corrected and complete with a black and white version (as well as the color version). I give you reproduction rights, which means that you can print whatever you want for your personal use. It's all entirely up to you! This flexibility means that you can create your own albums, or I can provide you with expertly designed albums from some of the top album manufacturers. I use albums by companies such as Graphi-Studio, Jorgensen and Cypress. Of course I am available for engagements, rehearsals and gown fittings, but as before - it's your call, your wedding and your budget. Other things you may want to know. I use Pictage for on line viewing and have a team of assistants who work with me. Discounts are available for winter weddings and Friday and Sunday wedding during the year too!
I've photographed clients of every religion, nationality, and sexual orientation and open-minded approach to photojournalism makes me approachable and honest. Communication and planning time lines before the event will alleviate much of the stress associated with photographing a wedding. An ability to tactfully take charge also helps - particularly when photographing large groups or families.

For the geography buffs - my studio is located in Washington DC on Capitol Hill. The studio is just a few steps from Eastern Market Metro and convenient to 395 and 295. I photograph events in Maryland, Virgina as well as Pennsylvania, New York, and beyond. I also travel world wide for destination events particularly in the Caribbean as well as all of Europe, especially Italy and England. Other destinations include Mexico and Hawaii. Karen Sayre is happy to travel to almost any location.
