Chapter 12: Your Budget Planner

Compare my Professional Photography Prices and Budget your local or Destination Event.  For Southern California, especially Los Angeles County, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, Manhattan Beach, Malibu, Thousand Oaks and Woodland Hills.  NO complicated Package Prices.

For the last 30 years, I have offered my Professional Special Event Photography services at a flat rate plus my materials costs.  While other Event Photographers offer complex, hard-to-shop Package prices, my program only has two components... Time and Materials.

It is easy to set up a complete budget, with my program.  I charge $150.00 per hour and $1.56 per picture taken.  You can have me shoot as much or as little as you wish, for as long as necessary. 

You will own everything. 

You will receive everything.

I will own nothing.

While I do have a 4-hour minimum, there is no limit, one way or another, on the volume of pictures that can be taken.

You can set your own budget and I will not exceed it without your prior authorization.

How would you like to propose to your sweetheart, as you fly high over Los Angeles and Santa Monica,  in a sleek, sexy, helicopter?

Adagio Photography would like to invite you  aboard LA Helicopters fleet of beautiful, private, helicopters.  Sip champagne and then hold on tight as you see Southern California from a whole new perspective.  Watch the sun set, from 500 to 5,000 feet in the sky.

I can shoot every moment of this spectacular event.  You'll fly in the very comfortable back seat of a New Robinson R44 Raven helicopter, while I shoot you from the front seat.  My Hasselblad camera, fantastic lenses and high-definition film or 22-million pixel digital system will produce wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime pictures of this very special occasion, just for you.


"Love is in the air..."


Want to arrive in style at your wedding?  Take the helicopter and  the limo. 

Classic Manner can pick you up, (from anywhere in and around Southern California, including Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Dana Point, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Costa Mesa and Irvine) in one of their beautiful, comfortable, vintage automobiles.  You'll be driven to the airport in classic style.  Walk over The Red Carpet, receive a cold glass of wonderful champagne and be seated in a beautiful, black, Robinson R44 Raven helicopter, from LA Helicopters

No one else offers this service.

You'll be flown high over the clogged freeways and dropped off, on the front lawn, at your venue. Certain venues will allow such a Grand Entrance.  Others may require a landing at a local airport and a short limo ride to your destination.

You'll make an unforgettable impression on your friends and family. 

As part of your selected range of services, I will be able to capture every moment of your adventure with my Medium Format, Hasselblad H1 cameras.

 


 

General Overview

Please take a moment to compare my complete range of services, equipment, experiences, program and my photographic results with those from any other photographer. 

Let me know if you would like for me to help decipher the best competing package prices.  I am not offended by your shopping.  In fact, I encourage it.   I would love to do an item by item comparison with my professional program. 

The more you compare what you are buying, the better I look.

If I can't beat the deal, I'll tell you why.


I don't shoot 35mm cameras.  I use Hasselblad H1 cameras ONLY !

Pictures, from a small 35mm camera, can't be compared to pictures produced with pro-quality, Hasselblad H1 cameras.  

I can't compare my Professional, Affordable, Hourly Rate Program with any complicated Packaged-price Program.  

I have worked all over Los Angeles County, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, Manhattan Beach, Malibu, Thousand Oaks and Woodland Hills. 


You can buy any album, any size, any shape, any color, from anywhere in the world.

You'll receive ALL of your medium format, high-definition, Fuji Film, used at your event.

You'll receive all of your 7mb, 300dpi, sRGB, 8 bit, 4"x5" TIFF files, post-produced for EVERY SINGLE picture taken at your event.

If shot digitally, with my Phase One, P25, 22 million pixel digital system on my Hasselblad H1 cameras, you'll receive all of your RAW files plus your TIFF and JPEG files.

I have personally photographed more than 4,000 Special Events with my Hasselblad cameras. 

I can do everything for you or you can save some money and easily do some of this for yourselves.

You can establish your own budget, at any level, and I will meet it.  You can have me shoot as much or as little as you wish, for as long as you desire.

I serve Los Angeles County, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, Manhattan Beach, Malibu, Thousand Oaks and Woodland Hills.   I'm available for Destination Events nation-wide.

You'll receive beautiful, sharp, 4"x5" Fuji Crystal Archive Photographic Proof Prints for EVERY SINGLE picture taken at your event.

You'll be able to work with the best photographic lab in Southern California, PCI, getting all of your photographs printed at WHOLESALE prices.  The same professional quality but costing you a lot less money.

You'll own EVERYTHING.


You can receive $500.00 to $1,200.00 worth of FREE stuff, just for booking my services.

 


Please take a moment and go through this Budget Planner with your family


This should be rather easy.   However, you can make this process as complex as you wish.  There is no end to the number of options that must be considered.

 

I will do everything for you, at a specific price, or you and your family can do some of this yourselves, perhaps saving some money in the process. 

 

Some of my families just want me to take the pictures and give them an album.  Other families want to have more choice and they want to be involved in the whole process.

 

I prefer that my families become involved with this whole process.  I feel that they will enjoy the results more if they have been part of the decision-making process. 

There will be no surprises or hidden fees.  Everything should be rather easy for you to estimate.  If you have any questions, just send me an e-mail or give me a
