An Explanation of Pricing Policies, Packages At Sellick Event Photography

I pride myself in being Your “Go-To” Photographer for all of life’s important events. Because I do everything from Weddings, Portraits (Adult, Baby, Pets, Facebook), Parties, Corporate Gatherings, Business Openings.

I do not post a specific set of packages or pricing per category. What I prefer to do is listen to what you want/need and adapt my pricing to each requirement and to line up with your budget and expectations. That way we both get what we want. You get wonderful photographs that will last as memories over time and I get a working wage based on my time spent with you, my experience, as well as my investment in high end Photographic Equipment and software to make sure you get the best images at a cost effective price.

You have my word as a Professional Photographer that I will treat your requirement with the same respect be-it a Large All-Day wedding Shoot or a Small intimate gathering or individual portrait shoot.

You have the right to get Professional Photographs no matter what your budget and I promise to listen to what you are looking for and do my best to find a price point that works for us both.

Many Professional Photographers earn their livings buy selling you more than you really need like expensive custom enlargements, Wedding books, Extra shooters and assistants. At Sellick Event photography I keep my pricing low by keeping my overhead low and only invest in my working tools Cameras and Software to give you the very best end product at a reasonable price. I can offer you custom printing, or slide shows or photobooks but these are not a staple of my Business. My Primary service is Photography only. You will receive Hi (4 Print) and Low (4 web/Email) resolution images with no copy-write restrictions and no watermarks.

What Clients are saying about Sellick Event Photography regarding, value for $ and overall Service Experience?

-Rick is a true professional. He spent time, days in advance preparing for our wedding by checking out all of the special locations at the Château Laurier hotel. He then came back to us with ideas for group pictures, candid pictures, and pictures that would include the Parliament buildings and take advantage of the beautiful fall season. The work that we received from Rick was on time and very professional. The images were far beyond our expectations and we were impressed with how creatively he was able to capture our wedding day. Rick is a pleasure to work with. He has a very personable style of business. He listens carefully to the needs of the clients, makes very good recommendations, and exceeded our expectations. Rick is a pleasure to work with and we will be working with Rick on other family events and corporate events in the future. Greg and Laurie V. Wedding Oct 14, 2014

- Rick did a fantastic job with our wedding photos. From our first meeting with him, we knew that Rick was the type of photographer we were looking for. He clearly cares about doing a great job for his clients. He also had our images to us very quickly after the wedding and posted new ones every day until he was done. Rick, thanks for capturing the memories of our day! Marc & Kaitlyn Labelle Wedding September 23rd 2017

- Sellick Event Photography provides a very personal, tailored-to-you event shoot. He was on time, true to his word and gave us tremendous peace of mind that he'd deliver what he promised when he promised it. He captured our special day in a special way. Thank You! Heather & Jerry Van Olst Wedding August 26 2017 - Rick was fantastic to work with, and his easy going nature set the tone for the photographs. He was always there for the shots when we needed him, and was happy to take any requests we had. His knowledge of the area allowed us to find an amazing place to shoot our groomsman and bridesmaids photos, and he had a great eye for spots at our venue. The day after the wedding we already had our first batch of photos, with more coming every day. It was nice to get such immediate feedback when we needed it, and to see our wedding photos so soon. This along with not being limited to photo 'packages' leaves us with no regrets, and we would happily recommend Rick to any of our friends. Ben and Deseray Scanlon Wedding July 22nd 2017

- Rick is a professional in every sense of the word. He came on time, treated us with respect, and flexible enough to meet our budget. Moreover, he did all the revisions or editing of our pictures regardless of how hard they were and he did it efficiently. The time he set for us to get and see our pictures was met promptly. He was very passionate and caring of what he do.. He listens and listens well to our needs. Meeting him prior to the event was a big help because we got to know him and he got to know us too, creating that rapport and thus easier to smile and project during the shoot. Overall, we highly recommend Rick and we'll definitely get him for future important events in our lives. Moe and Nilda Hamed Wedding Aug 10th 2016

Ottawa Wedding Magazine 10 Questions To Ask Your Wedding Photographer Each question posed by the article has a recommended response I.e. what you should be looking for followed by a Response From Sellick Event Photography ‘s Rick Sellick

1.   Does the photographer have a gallery of wedding images you can review? Reviewing sample work allows you to see the photographer’s strengths and weaknesses – don’t fool yourself, every photographer has them. You’ll also be able to get an idea of their style. Are they formal with an eye for the perfect picture or do they love to capture the hidden moments when no one is looking? Look for images that you can see yourself in. Think of three words that describe you and share those with your photographer. Every photographer has a style and reviewing their gallery can help you determine if theirs is right for you.

1A) Sellick Event Photography Answer When you visit my website you immediately see a slide show that contains over 600 images from 50 weddings that I have shot over the years. Why so many images so you can see the type of images you can expect on your wedding day. I don’t just post the one of a kind shot but shots from different parts of each wedding. If you like the images you see on my site I can guarantee you will like/love your images.

2. What is the photographer’s working style? Some photographers are orderly and operate like wedding planners. Others prefer to sit back and let the events of the wedding unfold. It’s important that you find someone who can understand and meet your expectations. Discuss this ahead of time and ask away, so that you understand how well the photographer’s working style matches your own.

2A) Sellick Event Photography Answer Style is very important as above and every Photographer leans in one direction or the other. However when I am working with a Client prior to the event I ask the couple to pick sample image that they like which helps me to better understand the style they want and prepare to shoot in that style. The more info you can provide the better I can give you what you want. In addition a wedding Photographers experience from shooting many Weddings/Events arms them with an instinct of what is going to happen next. What to watch out for. Listening to a Client can also provide a great level of detail that can be used creatively to create images.

3. Is the photographer available for an engagement session? An engagement session does more than provide you with priceless images together before you get married. It’s also your first opportunity to work with your photographer and develop a relationship that will allow you to be completely at ease on your big day. Use this session to confirm if the photographer is indeed the right person to capture your wedding.

3A) Sellick Event Photography Answer The simple answer is yes I believe that comfort level with your photographer is very important and an engagement session helps in this regard. I am one photographer who will provide a substantial discount on an engagement session if you agree to sign up for your wedding at the same time. I will also let you in on a secret ask your photographer for a satisfaction guarantee that if the engagement session results are not to your liking you can then opt out of the wedding Photography contract.

4. Will the photographer create a detailed shot list? This list will ensure no important photo is missed during the commotion and excitement of the big day. You should be able to create that list together, add to the list leading up to the day and have a copy of that list the day of. Take an honest look at what images really matter and fill your photographer in on situations he or she might need to be aware of in order to prevent awkward moments, and to ensure that he or she can get the shots that matter most.

4A) Sellick Event Photography Answer I have a shot list for traditional wedding images that I go through with the couple prior to the wedding. I also believe that it is really important to have the Bride/Groom identify key images that they must have be it a favorite relative or old family friend. I will say that in my experience a shot list is a guideline and that often times things change you have to be able to adapt to shrinking time frames or other events may delay things. This is why it my policy to make sure before I leave that we have covered off everything regardless of the coverage hours we have agreed upon. I will not leave you if our work is not done.

5. What kind of lighting will be used? Whether you have an indoor or outdoor wedding, you’ll want to make sure your photographer has professional grade lighting equipment to deliver the images your wedding deserves.

5A) Sellick Event Photography Answer I have both full umbrella units and on camera professional High power diffused Flash Units. My primary method is using the on camera flash units as this allows me to be very portable, move around throughout the ceremony to get the right angles and always be ready for the shot. Using portable lighting units (Umbrellas, Plugged in Light sources) are fine but you need to allow for much more setup time and are not useful in heavy traffic areas. Managing off camera equipment usually requires additional manpower (photographic assistants, 2nd shooters) That will add to the overall cost of your photography. Consider this when your budget allows for it.

6. Does the photographer have backup equipment? You’ve prepared contingency plans for every other aspect of your wedding; your photographer should as well. A true professional photographer won’t miss your perfect shot because of a technology issue. He or she will always bring one or two backup cameras, lenses, flashes, additional lighting equipment, extra memory cards, and batteries.

6A) Sellick Event Photography Answer Simple answer I always have spares of everything, cameras, Lenses, Flash units, memory cards. It is also important to consider Backup to the images being written during the wedding shoot. My Nikon gear has 2 memory card slots in each camera and my cameras are always set to record mirror copies of each image ensuring that a single card failure will not lose any images.

7. Does the photographer have liability insurance? Accidents happen at weddings and if one of your guests trips over your photographer’s light stand, it’s good to know you both are protected. Your reception venue may even ask the photographer to submit a certificate of liability ahead of time.

7A) Sellick Event Photography Answer I am covered under a State Farm Business liability Insurance policy.

8. Will there be one photographer or two? A second shooter increases the probability that no shot will be missed, especially if you are having a large wedding. If there will be two photographers, ask to meet them both to get a feel for their personalities and how well they might blend in on your big day.

8A) Sellick Event Photography Answer I have some of the lowest prices around for truly professional Photography. I am able to do this by keeping the costs down to a minimum. As Such when you hire Sellick Event Photography you hire me. I have taken and edited every image on my website. I have never missed an event shoot Period. I am a small c Control freak when it comes to your wedding images. You get my best every time and when I tell you something, you can count on it, as my reputation hinges on me being able to make you happy when you engage me for your event. If you have the budget to cover two photographers and feel that you need two that is fine. Often times the 2nd shooter is an apprentice covering the more simple shots. With my service you get me and my many years of Event coverage and Post processing expertise.

9. What will happen to the images after your wedding? Will your images be backed up to a hard drive or the cloud once processed? How long will your photographer keep the images afterward? Will they be kept for a couple of years or dumped immediately? If you have any concerns about losing your photos, knowing what the photographer plans to do with your images after your wedding is important.

9A) Sellick Event Photography Answer I provide you with your usb or dvd disk. I have terabytes of hard drive space that are backed up. I keep copies of all your files on Blu-ray disks and my Photo site has unlimited storage for all the fully edited images that you receive. If you need a copy , after the fact, just ask and there may be a small charge for the media to hold all your copied images. Often times you can simply go to my site and cut and paste a fav image.

10. When will you get your photos? No, you won’t get your pictures the day after; no photographer can deliver that quickly. It’s a good idea, though, to get a general idea of the timeline ahead of time. You might even be able to agree on getting a couple of images ready for social media use very quickly. But obtaining your photos will likely take several weeks. To help with the wait, some photographers will send you a sneak peak with a few images. Just ask ahead of time!

10A) Sellick Event Photography Answer My service is a bit different than above. In fact you will see images from your wedding the very next day. I give a commitment to each client to be finished the first primary edits within 7-10 Days after the event. I also edit and post your images to my site password protected so that The Bride and Groom can see the images as they are uploaded I have been told by multiple Clients how fun it is to be on their honeymoon and waking up each day to see new image from their wedding. The Clients can determine who and when they get to see the images on the site. They control the link to the site and password. This also work for those unable to attend the wedding for any reason. The Couple can share or decide to wait till all edits are completed. During the 7-10 Day period any changes that the Couple want can be quickly processed and reposted to ensure that the change is exactly what they wanted.
