Here you can find information about the different wedding packages that I offer. One things that sets me apart from many other wedding photographers is the time I will spend with you. Most wedding photographers cut their coverage off at 8 hours. That seems crazy too me. The story of a wedding day often begins in the morning at the salon with the girls or at at the golf course with the guys. These are memories that are part of the story of your day. It’s not uncommon for a reception to finish up near midnight and every moment in between is filled with memories and opportunities to document them. As a former news photojournalist, it’s in my blood to produce an accurate depiction of your day’s memories and many times that’s just not possible in eight hours. So if your wedding is 4 hours, 8 hours or 16 hours, you can count on me being there.
Below are some of the packages I offer. If you have any questions about these packages or would like to tailor something to your particular wedding, please email me at derek@derekmontgomery.com.

What is the Photo Booth?
The Photo Booth is a modern refresh of the old booths that you see in movies, malls and fairs. I set up a backdrop and a camera
on a tripod. There is a footswitch on the ground that you tap when you want your photo taken. You’ll likely be sitting down
and when you do, just tap the footswitch and voila, the flash fires and the photo is taken. It’s that simple. Sit down for 1, 5, 10
photographs. The sky is the limit. I don’t have to be there to take the photo and everyone can come and go as they please. It’s
great for making quirky or offbeat photographs. This is all done digitally so you will get these photos on a DVD with the rest of
your wedding’s images.
What’s an Asuka Book?
These are some really awesome coffee-table style photo albums. The print quality of these books exceed many of the photo
books you will find on the shelves at any bookstore. Each book comes with a protective case with the couple’s name printed on it.
Protecting the cover of the book is a dust jacket. These are very high-quality books that you will keep coming back to for years. If
you still have questions, please contact me and I can mail you a brochure that shows pictures of the albums or email you
photographs of albums I have produced in the past.
Do I really get a disc of all the images you shoot on my wedding day? Can I print them?
Yes. I shoot in RAW, which is a file type that allows me the most flexibility in processing your photos. You will get those files on
a DVD as well as another DVD of JPEGs of all the images I edit from your wedding day, which is usually between 250 and 300. You also get the right to print all images from your day.
