What you get on your wedding day and after: every package item, explained

What a wedding photo and video package includes

An IAZ Photo Studio wedding photo and video package includes a photographer and a videographer for 8 to 12 continuous hours, a 1-hour photo session before the wedding, digital photos, an online gallery, a 20×30 framed print and the edited wedding video. The Essential Package is $2,150, the Complete $3,250 and the Deluxe $4,995; what changes between them is the hours, the locations, how many photos you keep and the extras, such as the album, highlight videos and streaming.

This guide explains each item, when you'll notice it during your day and what's left out, so you can compare any quote against the same list. It works for any Arizona wedding: in a church, a reception hall, a ranch or a backyard.

What comes in all three wedding packages

The base of all three is the same; the amount changes, not the quality of the work.

A photographer and a videographer from the same team

Two people with one schedule and one contract. They plan the angles for the processional, the vows and the first dance together, so they don't get in each other's way in the aisle or on the dance floor. You deal with one team, not two vendors meeting for the first time on your wedding day.

The photo session before the wedding

An hour of relaxed portraits at a place you choose with us (tell us your spot and we confirm any travel fee before you book), which also works as your engagement session. Many couples use those photos for their invitations or a welcome sign. It happens at least 2 weeks before the wedding.

Continuous hours and locations on the wedding day

Hours run straight through from the moment we arrive, and travel between the church, the park and the reception counts inside them. A location is each separate place: where you get ready, the ceremony, the photos and the reception. The contract ends coverage at 10:00 pm.

Digital photos, the online gallery and the framed print

We open your full gallery online, and you choose your photos during the 4 weeks after the wedding. With the Essential you download 75; with the Complete and the Deluxe, all of them. Downloads include permission to print for personal use, and the 20×30 framed print is the photo you pick.

The edited wedding video

The ceremony, vows, speeches, first dance and party, edited into one video and delivered on a USB drive.

What the Complete Package adds to your wedding coverage

For $1,100 more than the Essential, the Complete covers a typical wedding day from start to finish and adds what gets shared most afterward.

  • 10 hours and 3 locations: getting ready, the ceremony and the reception.
  • Every digital photo, on USB and with unlimited downloads.
  • 12×12 professional album, 30 pages.
  • 5-minute and 1-minute Event Highlight Videos: one to watch together, one for social media.
  • Event Photo Slideshow Video and Memories Slideshow Video: the standout photos of your wedding, and a story told with photos of your lives before the wedding, perfect for the reception.
  • Online Video Streaming Experience: family far away can watch your wedding video from anywhere, even if they couldn't travel.

What the Deluxe Package adds to your wedding coverage

The Deluxe, at $4,995, is the whole day with everything kept in one place.

  • 12 hours and 4 locations.
  • 12×12 album, 40 pages, and a Modern 8×8 Signature Guest Book.
  • Textured 20×30 framed print.
  • Samsung tablet with all your photos and videos.
  • Personalized Event Website: your guests see the pre-event session and wedding photos, the slideshows, the Event Highlight Video and the full video in one place.
  • Aerial Drone Footage, when the venue and the rules allow it.
  • 6 personalized photo mugs.

Streaming and the event website are not the same thing: streaming lets someone far away watch the video; the website is the place everyone comes back to see everything.

How many hours and which package your wedding needs

Hours decide the package more than anything else. Here is an example of a wedding with a 3 pm ceremony and coverage ending at 10 pm.

Moment Essential (8 hours) Complete (10 hours) Deluxe (12 hours)
Getting ready (one place)NoYesYes, with more time
Photos before the ceremonyPartialYesYes
Ceremony and family photosYesYesYes
Reception, first dance and toastYesYesYes
Party until 10 pmYesYesYes

If you both get ready in different places at the same time, one person can't be in both. That's when a second photographer ($500 for the first 4 hours) or a second videographer ($600) makes sense. To work out your hours, read how many hours of photo and video your wedding needs.

What no wedding package includes

Know this before you compare prices:

  • Parking and entrance fees at parks, gardens or buildings: the couple pays them.
  • Travel beyond 50 driving miles from Tempe, Arizona (I-10 and US-60): the full driving distance is quoted and signed before the date.
  • Hours after 10:00 pm: $150 per hour, paid before delivery.
  • Lab prints: 20% off professional prints ordered online.
  • A USB with the original unedited photos or videos: sold separately, $599 each, subject to delivery conditions.

How to hold your wedding date with a deposit

A $500 deposit holds the date and counts toward the total; the rest is paid in installments and in full one month before the wedding. You review and sign the contract from your phone. Usual delivery, counted from your photo selection, is 4 to 8 weeks for photo and video. The contract sets the final terms.

Common questions about wedding photo and video packages

What is the difference between the Essential and Complete packages?

The Complete adds 2 hours, 1 location, every digital photo, the 30-page album, the highlight videos, both slideshows and streaming, for $1,100 more.

Is an engagement session included in the wedding packages?

Yes. The 1-hour photo session before the wedding works as your engagement session, and it comes in all three packages.

Can I book only photography or only video?

Yes, from $1,250. We recommend the combined packages first, since they include the pre-event session and other items the standalone ones don't. Read photo, video or both to decide.

How long do you keep the wedding photos and video?

One year. Download and back up your gallery during the first year.
