Packages

It's not about the price, it's about what you want.

What do you want and desire for your wedding day?

What are your dreams, your hopes, your visions , your thoughts?

Most couples make this trip only once. As a married couple ourselves, we know what is planned for and what is soon forgotten.

The Cake . . . the flavor and design fade from memory.
The Reception . . . becomes a blur
The Dinner . . . perfect but forgotten
The Music. . . doesn't play anymore
The reception hall. . . becomes a dream
The guests . . . who came again?

So, lets look at what will preserve those memories.

Photographs. Delivered by a professional team.

With years of experience.

Would you trust your surgery to a part-time doctor who is a full-time insurance salesman? Of course not. But some people trust this most precious moment in time to amatuers, semi-pros and their Uncle George (don't worry, we don't have anything against Uncle George!)

And then we wonder why they aren't telling everyone about how wonderful their photos were. Or find them silently sobbing to their friends about how awful it all was. (We even have a service to help those people, called the Disgruntled Bride Package!)

Remember, it is not the camera taking the photos. It is a person taking them -- knowing when to press the shutter and how to set it up. It can be deceiving and I heard from people who say, "your camera takes good pictures." I just smile and agree.

Don't be one of those people. We have the joy of making sure you don't forget all those precious memories. So they don't drift away like the sands of time. We have brides and grooms continuously amazed at the detailed coverage -- but who else will shoot your decorations, your first dance and your first kiss? Not just shoot it, but deliver a professional product that you can display as a 50 x 80 inch canvas on your walls if you so desire.

Does that sound like a tall order? It is. And we love the challenge, each and every time.

So, the most important thing to us is fitting the correct package to the couple. If your photographer does not take the time, in person, to find out about you -- wow. Not a good thing. Our prices range from $1,500 up to $10,000. We offer albums, prints, special items, thank-you cards, canvas-wraps and a whole lot more. Every package we have includes the following:

Consultation and planning sessions, both before and after the wedding to ensure we get what you want.
DVDs with your photos on them, ready to print smaller images or post them on your Facebook or other accounts.
Online-posting of your wedding and engagement photos -- so your family and friends don't have to bug you to see the photos.
Professional photography printing, fantastic color and archival lasting quality.
And then, depending on what the bride and groom actually want and are dreaming about -- Bridal Portrait Sessions, fantastic coffee-table book albums, photos for their wedding day itself, slide-shows, destination weddings.
Some of our packages include covering the dinner and rehersal the night before, and can go into breakfast after.
We can also add an engagement session lasting up to to an hour. (Often more, as we find ourselves having too much fun!)

We travel all of Illinois and beyond – so, if you have a destination wedding planned or just down at your local church, we can deliver.

So. . . how do you find out what fits you best?

And . . . what are those packages and prices?

Call or email us. We can then start the most important process in wedding photography -- communication! We can be reached at 217-542-1602 or 630-346-7766. We work by appointment only. Follow the link on the Contact page to send an email or email directly to ed_cicenas@EdvydasPhoto.com. And, please realize we will ask you questions and not just send a price list! How do you compare buying a Ferrari against a Jeep? Not by price alone. You also have to look at what fits the situation correctly and photographers are all very unique individuals with different styles.

And, just for contacting us, we will throw in a special link for helpful wedding hints, advice and such gathered by Krystal to take some of the stress out of wedding planning.
