* WEDDINGS *

Weddings are such a precious time in any couples lives. A turning point towards life long happiness & bliss that culminates when the vows are exchanged. Putting together a Photography Wedding package is something that takes great detail, planning and execution, That's what "I" get paid for! Leave the worries to me and allow me to put together a wedding package that is "RIGHT FOR YOU" and your budget. There are so many VARIBLES available it's quite impossible to put a set PRICE on any one wedding, so here at Bill Pador Photography I "CUSTOM" Tailor EACH & EVERY Wedding I do to meet your expectations and budget.

Sure there are many photographers & studios out there looking for your business, but if you have been involved in trying to find a GREAT Photographer you know that's not an easy mission. You have to deal with attitudes, stuffiness and sometimes down right rude photographers that just don't care about anything other then themselves. I take PRIDE in my work and every client is dealt with in the same manner & given the respect they deserve. Bill Pador is a highly sought after professional photographer & artist in the Tri-State NY-NJ-PA area due to his unique artistic style, camera angles and truly stunning post production results

"We use only PROFESSIONAL Photo Paper for your Wedding Prints"

Here @ Bill Pador Photography we use 2 World Renowned Labs that use only Kodak Professional ENDURA Papers to bring my photography to the next level.

Depending on your package & contract, prints may be included or purchased separately. I also have a discount program available to lesson the cost of prints for you & family members, final print prices will be negotiated during your contract session.

"Available Finishes"

Glossy: printed on coated paper with a very smooth, shiny reflective surface. Glossy finishes have a high-contrast appearance and look slick to the touch when not under glass. This finish has an excellent dynamic range and color - slightly more "pop" than the matte paper, though less noticeable once framed. Photos will have a shiny finish, colors will be vibrant, and images will be crisp and sharp.

Matte: matte finishes have a very smooth, non-glare surface. Matte finishes have a lower-contrast when printed and are often used to enhance the texture of a print. Fingerprint and smudge resistant, and works very well with black and white photos. Much less glare than with glossy.

Lustre: (recommended)lustre is our premier paper offering, and is considered more of a professional-grade paper. Lustre has a slight gloss with a subtle, often pearl-like texture. Lustre paper has a deeper color-saturation than matte, has a higher contrast and is thicker than consumer paper.

"FAQ"

Q. When should I book you for my wedding?

A. YESTERDAY ! But really ASAP, most Photographers are booked for a wedding at least a year in advance if not more. My Wedding schedule books up for the following year pretty fast with the popular months of April, May, June, July and August filling up first. Remember there are only 4 weekends in a month so it doesn't take long before all the good dates are booked.

Q. I'm getting married in a few months, can I still book you?

A. Sure I'll take last minute bookings "IF" and I say "IF" in a BIG Way I have the date open. I am able to put together a package, plan & prepare for a wedding within a few days if necessary but if the date isn't open it really doesn't matter at that point. I have rescued more then my share of couples who have needed a photographer in a bind for one reason or another. So if your in a PINCH, give me a call and I'll see what I can do for you!

Q. Why don't you have any pre-set PACKAGE Prices for weddings?

A. Well that's an easy question to answer, there are SO MANY "VARIABLES" involved in a wedding, many different requests & services available it would take up multiple pages just to get SOME of the pricing together and there would still be things that needed to be negotiated. So EVERY Wedding Package is Custom Tailored for each event to meet each couples needs, wants & budget. This way I can accommodate everyone in a fair and cost effective way and still be able to provide the professional coverage that my clients deserve.

Q. Do you use any Assistants ?

A. It depends on the services contracted to me. Most weddings do not need more then my professional hands & eyes but if a situation arises where I need help, I have the necessary people to assist me.

Q.Do I get PRINTED PROFFS with my contract?

A.It depends on what is negotiated & requested at the time of your contract. I shoot EXCLUSIVELY using Digital Equipment so there are no HARD NEGATIVES per-sea but you can get your Digital Files (low or high resolution) on CD-DVD's for future use as part of your contract as well as getting 4"x6" prints made to build your own album if you wish.

Q.Can I get a Hard Cover Book Made?

A.ABSOLUTELY! I'll design a professionally made & bound Hard Cover Coffee Table style book from your best photos that will last a life time and bring all those great memories back every time you look at it or show to your friends & family.

"FAQ PART #2"

Q.How many photos do you shoot for a wedding?

A.Well during a FULL Coverage wedding of 8-10 hours I'll usually shoot an average of 2500-3500 photos and after processing the job the average client has 700-1200 photos to choose from!

Q.Does it cost extra for special processing like Black & White, Sepia, Selective Color, Oil Painting conversions?

A.That will be negotiated during your contract session.

Q.There is a photo that we just Love, can we have it made into a BIG Canvas Print?

A.ABSOLUELY! I shoot in a HIGH RESOLUTION enough to blow your photo up to BILL BOARD size. You will have the option to have ANY of your photos printed up to a 30" x 40" MOUNTED CANVAS Print "Directly" from your private web page! They look Gorgeous over a Mantle or Fireplace as well as big open wall space in your home. Many times family members purchase these as gifts to the Bride & Groom!

Q.Speaking of Web Pages, how much does it cost to have our own PRIVATE Web Page on your site to show our friends & family our pictures?

A.It costs you NOTHING ! No matter what kind of coverage or package you book with me I will include a web page & online slide show FREE with 'EVERY' Contract ! You choose the password and then give the web link to your friends & family so they can look at all your photos and they will have the oppertunity to order any prints they may want directly from the page. I process the order with my lab and ship the photos directly to their door

Q.How long will our photos be available online?

A.I keep every gallery available for a minimum of 6 months and if you need it online longer that can be negotiated with your contract as well.

Q.Do you keep COPIES of our photos in case we lose or damage our CD's?

A.YES I do ! Every clients photos are backed up in a minimum of 6 places, most times more like 8-10 back-ups exist at any one time. ON PREMISE I back everything up to 2 Hard Drives and 2 sets of DVD's which are kept in a fireproof safe. Then another 5 copies are backed up on 5 different Servers in 5 different states throughout the United States so that there is no possible way for every copy to be destroyed at once.

Q.How long will you have our photos saved in case we want additional prints or CD's made?

A.INDEFFINATLEY! I keep EVERY photo I take on file forever. So as long as I'm alive I'll have a copy of your photos available to you. Then I'll have my estate take care of them when I pass on to the great Nikon warehouse in the sky, so my children will have custody of them.

Q.Since we got a CD or DVD set of our photos do we OWN the Copyright of those pictures and can we do anything we want with them?

A.Sorry but NO! The Copyright of any photo taken by me belongs to Bill Pador Photography! Depending on what has been negotiated in your contract you may or may not have rights to share,copy or print the photos other then using Me and My lab for those services. I retain full Federal Copyright Protection on all of my images unless other wise noted on your contract. You will however be given the oppertunity to negotiate HOW you can USE, SHARE and/or Print your images during contract signing.

Q.You came highly recommended to us, My Fiance and I just love your work and want your services, the only problem is that we are getting married in Hawaii not New Jersey, can you still shoot our wedding?

A.ABSOLUETLY! I will travel ANYWHERE in the "WORLD" to shoot your wedding or event provided my schedule allows for the time needed to make the trip (travel expenses additional). I hold a current Passport and can travel to any destination world wide without limitations. In most cases I am able to travel with / hand carry all the equipment necessary to shoot your wedding anywhere in the world and if there is something I can't bring I will rent it on location.
