What you get
If you can, book both: photos keep the moments and video keeps the voices, and one doesn't replace the other. If your budget only covers one, choose by what you'd hate to lose most: if it's seeing your mom's face in a photo on the wall, choose photography; if it's hearing the vows and the toast again, choose video.
With IAZ Photo Studio, photo and video together start at $2,150 with the Essential Package. Photo only or video only starts at $1,250. This guide helps you decide by situation, with no pressure and the prices in plain view.
Photography and video keep different things from the same day. Understanding that makes the decision easier.
Photography freezes a moment and turns it into something you can hold: the portrait in the living room, the album passed from hand to hand at Christmas, the print you make for your grandmother. It's what you see most around the house for years.
Video keeps sound and movement: vows said in a shaky voice, the toast from your padrino or best man, the song from your first dance, the laughter of grandparents who may not be here in ten years. It's what the family watches again on anniversaries.
That's why couples who book only photos may later miss the voices, and couples who book only video may miss a portrait to hang. There's no single right choice for everyone; there's one that fits the two of you better.
If you want both, these are the packages that include them. They come with items the standalone packages don't: the 1-hour Pre-Event Photo Session, the 20×30 framed print and, starting with the Complete, the album, the highlight videos and streaming. To see each item explained, read what a wedding package includes.

A $500 deposit holds your date; the rest is paid in installments, in full one month before the event.
Both services are the right call in these situations:
At every event we film with two video cameras and bring backup equipment, so a failed computer costs time, never your footage. For a closer look at the film itself, see what goes into a wedding film.
Photo only makes sense if you already have someone filming, if the wedding is short or intimate, or if what you want most is the album and the portraits. The Classic adds a 16×20 framed print, and the Signature adds an 8×8, 20-page album.
| Package | Price | Hours and locations | What it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | $1,250 | 4 hours, 2 locations | 50 edited photos, USB and gallery |
| Classic | $1,550 | 6 hours, 3 locations | 75 edited photos, USB, gallery and a 16×20 framed print |
| Signature | $1,895 | 8 hours, 3 locations | 100 edited photos, USB, gallery, a 16×20 framed print and an 8×8, 20-page album |
No pre-event session and no extras beyond the list.
Video only makes sense if the voices and the music matter most to you, or if a relative with a good camera is handling the photos. The Classic adds the 1-minute Event Highlight Video, and the Signature adds both the 1- and 5-minute highlights.
| Package | Price | Hours and locations | What it includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | $1,250 | 4 hours, 2 locations | Full edited event video, gallery and USB |
| Classic | $1,550 | 6 hours, 3 locations | Full edited video, gallery, USB and the 1-minute highlight |
| Signature | $1,895 | 8 hours, 3 locations | Full edited video, gallery, USB and the 1- and 5-minute highlights |
No pre-event session and no extras beyond the list.
Before you decide, check what the standalone packages don't include, so nothing surprises you later:
An honest note: we don't compare packages by price per hour to claim that one "saves" you money over another, because they include different things. Compare what you receive, not just the hours.
This table sums up what we see most often at Arizona weddings. It's a guide, not a rule.
| Your situation | What we usually recommend | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Courthouse or intimate wedding of a few hours | Photo only, Essential or Classic | Few hours and few moments; photos are what people keep most |
| You already hired a photographer | Video only, Classic or Signature | Adds the voices and the music without doubling up |
| Family in another state or country | Complete Package | Streaming lets them watch the video from far away |
| Large wedding with a ceremony, photos and a reception | Complete or Deluxe Package | More hours, more locations and both services |
| Very tight budget | Essential Package rather than two standalone packages | Both services and the pre-event session for one price |
Answer these together, without thinking about price first:
If most of your answers point the same way, that's your decision. If you're split, a combined package settles it.
It depends on what you want to keep. Photos keep the moments and become albums and wall prints; video keeps the voices and the movement. If you can, book both.
From $1,250 for 4 hours, $1,550 for 6 hours or $1,895 for 8 hours, each with one photographer or one videographer.
No. The photo session before the wedding comes only with the combined photo and video packages.
Ask us about your date. If a videographer is still free that day, we'll quote adding video or moving to a combined package, and it's best to decide before the final payment, one month before the wedding.
Choose your wedding's city and check your date. We'll tell you which coverage fits your day and your budget.
Text us your date, how many hours your wedding runs and what matters most to you to keep, and we'll tell you honestly which coverage fits. We reply within 24 to 48 hours.
