With 18 years of experience servicing wedding clients in the Pittsburgh area, Jim McCullough has adopted a simple, comprehensive approach to pricing his products and service.

In the past, the ‘package’ approach was popular. A client selected a ‘package’ that included photography and a certain sized large album and two parent albums and an engagement session and a framed wall portrait and it cost this much.

But what if you don’t want two parent albums? What if you only need one? Or you don’t need any? Or you don’t necessarily want a wall portrait or engagement session? While these items are all wonderful items, not all couples want the same things.

And, 10 years ago the choices were fairly simple. With the advent of digital technology and the internet, the items now available have far surpassed simple ‘packaged’ arrangements.

This is why Jim adopted the ala carte pricing system and never looked back. It has given his clients the freedom to purchase whatever items they would like, and not be forced to take what they don’t need.

The fee for photography service for any wedding date is $1195. This provides six hours of James McCullough’s cutting-edge, artistic wedding photography service. This service includes wedding photography consultations before and after the wedding, additional lighting at the wedding(as necessary), and a WebCD/DVD to view images.

Once you view all of your images, you will certainly want to show them off!

Additional purchases are made from the ala carte price schedule of products. There is no minimum purchase. Clients can order whatever they like, without restrictions or red tape.

Jim does offer ‘custom packaging’, based on his clients needs. If a client pre-orders items before their wedding, he will bundle the items and discount them up to 20% !!!

With the bridal show season is in full-swing, don’t delay when it comes to choosing a service provider for your wedding. Whether it’s photography, video, or entertainment, now is the time to act.

During this time of the year, there are thousands of couples planning their weddings in the Western Pennsylvania area. The interest level in spring, summer, and fall dates increases significantly. And, because we only commit to one wedding per day, sometimes we must refer business to another studio, simply because we are already contracted for that date.

Always trust your instinct. If you know that you would like to hire a particular photographer, videographer, or entertainment service, follow your instinct. The last thing that you want to do is take days to secure the service, only to find that in the interim, somebody else has hired that service.

Take a day or two to meet the candidates. Make sure that you like what they do. Make sure that you like them. Ask questions. Ask yourself if you can tolerate the person for the amount of time that they will be contracted for.

When you are 80 percent sure that you know who to hire, hire them!(the other 20 percent may just be hesitation).

This will help assure that you will hire your first choice, and not your second, third, or hopefully not ‘whoever you can find’!.

Our Gallery is designed to show you more than just single images. Most images are montages of images. These are typical of modern, contemporary wedding album design layouts.

Our custom album designs take the creative process to the next level. Capturing the image is only part of the magic of our wedding photography services. The final product, usually in the form of an album, will allow you to proudly display your wedding images as art.

The images in the gallery are ‘mini album’ layouts. Albums no longer have to consist of an 8×10 or 5×7’s only. The photographs in the gallery can span 20-24 inches across, providing stunning imagery from your special day. Our custom album designs are unique and tasteful. No cheap parlor tricks. No over-manipulating. No outdated double exposures.

We offer various top-of-the-line albums and design options to serve all of our clients needs.
