Getting engaged has really opened up my eyes to what it is like to be a customer as opposed to the business owner and one of the things that I have found difficult to wrap my head around is the lack of transparency when it comes to prices. It is really hard to create a budget and one that you can stick to if you don't have solid numbers to work with. Often I see websites that read "contact for pricing" or "packages starting at $xxxx.xx", and even when you do contact that person getting a solid quote can be like pulling teeth. This is why I made my prices available to see. I can create custom packages if you don't see one you like, but even with custom packages it is easy to figure out what the price will most likely be based on my website. For example, If you like a package that includes an engagement session, but you don't need the engagement session, you can look at my engagement package prices and subtract that price from the wedding package you like and know what the final total will be. Money is tricky and emotional but knowing you have solid numbers makes the decision more mathematical and less daunting. Every client deserves to know how much your services are going to be and they shouldn't have to deal with undisclosed costs down the road.
