I includes all basic editing, basic color correction, black and white tones, cropping and sharpening. Retouching is available, but is not included in the price of wedding packages. However, it is complimentary with any wedding album order. An example of retouching would be removing a blemish or taking out an exit sign over a door way.

Yes, ALee photography currently offers high quality prints, gorgeous gallery wrapped canvases, and custom coffee table albums and more. Set up a product meeting for more information. 

Once your photos are edited you will be able to access them via online gallery that will allow you to download the photos onto your computer or purchase prints directly from your gallery. Purchasing prints/products/albums are not required but the option is there just in case. Once you have downloaded your photos onto your computer you can print them from wherever you would like, though I would suggest staying away from printing at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, etc. I would recommend using Mpix.com or printing through your online gallery which uses WHCC and then is mailed right to your home. 

How many hours of photography do I need? ALee Photography currently offers three collections, 5 hours, 8, hours and 10 hours. All of the collections include engagement sessions and the printing rights to both your engagement and wedding photographs. 

When deciding on how many hours you need for your wedding day coverage there are a few things you’ll want to to ask yourself. First, do you want some getting ready photos with your bridesmaids and groomsmen? And do you want those epic detail shots of your dress, the shoes, engagement and wedding rings, flowers and so on. If you do, then you’ll probably want to go with the 8 hour collection for sure and possibly the 10 hour collection.

A typical 8 hour wedding collection is going to get you some detail photographs through the first dances.
