Wide Open Media Services
For most events we need 30 days notice to hold the date for you. Anything less and we may not have shooters available. We also require a 50% non-refundable deposit to hold that date with the remainder due immediately before the event.
After your shoot we will process and upload your media to our website, or a file sharing service like DropBox if you desire, so you and your friends or colleagues can view the photos and/or videos. Depending on your project the processing of media could take anywhere from 48 hours to 7 days or more.
General Pricing
- Photography is $125 for the first hour, $75 for each additional hour of shooting time. This cost includes the typical editing needed: Converting RAW images to JPGs while making minimal exposure edits. If significant editing is necessary, like the removal of objects from the frame or converting a bracketed sequence into an HDR image, the cost is $75 per hour of editing.
- Videography is $200 for the first hour, $125 for each additional hour of shooting time, and $100 per hour of editing video with a two hour minimum.
- Additional expenses could be extra photographers, extra cameras triggered wirelessly, camera stabilization equipment, lighting setups, or stock video/audio for video productions.
- Prices above are assuming that the shoot is the metropolitan Phoenix area, within a 50 mile radius of the assigned photographer’s home or office. Greater distances will incur a travel fee and may include a lodging fee, depending on the distance.

WeddingsWeddings are a beast unto their own and are priced differently. If this is what you need you already know they are expensive but we try to keep that cost as low as possible. We can provide everything from a simple, two hour photography package of the wedding itself to a full day of photo and video coverage. Tell us what you want so we can tailor a package just for you.
A word about copyrightsUnder ALL circumstances, unless agreed to previously in writing, the copyright of ALL media stays with Wide Open Media and it's photographer(s). If you plan to use the job commercially we will need to work out a licensing price for the use of the media. A common misconception is that you need to own the copyright. This is not the case. You simply need the correct rights for the media according to your desired use.
