Studio Orange Photography

Owner Robert Wurth is the primary photographer at Studio Orange. Additional photographers are hired on a per-event basis as needed.

Studio Orange services require a deposit to reserve the date for any photography sessions. This lets you “own” that day. The amount of the deposit varies depending on the type of booking and it is due when the contract is signed.

Nope! But you can if you want. Otherwise, I split up all payments. Weddings are split in thirds – with one third the total cost being the deposit. All other sessions are split into two payments, with the first half being the deposit.

Rather than a set amount of time, I prefer to look at it as “what events will Studio Orange cover?” For example, my entry level package will cover all of the essential parts of your wedding: the formals, the ceremony, and the reception. The other packages will add things like pre-ceremony events, or even hair and makeup, if you want. Other than that, I don’t really set a specific time limit. It’s more important to me to cover your day than to be looking at a watch.

Funny thing about other photographers is that I have no idea how they run their business. I don’t know how they work, or what their expenses are. So I don’t know why they price the way they do. To match what they do, I’d have to work like they do. Which kind of defeats the purpose of what I do. What I can tell you is this: I’ve worked hard to create a pricing structure that I believe is fair and represents the high standard of quality I maintain for my work. Also, I’ve created a variety of packages for weddings that combine the most popular options at pretty heavily discounted prices versus ordering those options separately. I would love to photograph every wedding and to be honest with you, if money were no object, I’d shoot for free. But as it is, I’m trying to sustain a business, and my prices are what they are.
