Hello, we are Ken and Vesta
First if you were part of our iPhone verses Camera Project, you can find your photos by clicking on the PROJECTiPHONE link above and thank you for allowing us to photograph you for the project.
And for everybody else, we are so very glad you’ve stopped by our website. We started photographing weddings in 2010 in Reno, where we thought we’d live forever. But we’ve moved back to Long Beach, where we grew up. So now we are Long Beach wedding photographers and if you’re a bride, meeting us here for the first time, we’d be honored if you would consider using us to photograph your wedding.
To get established in Southern California, we’ve decided to photograph our first eighteen weddings here for $1000. So if you thought you couldn’t afford a three thousand dollar wedding photographer, well now maybe you can.
Yes, we’ll make less money than we’re used to for those eighteen weddings, but really for us, it’s like we’re starting all over again, so the money not made is actually advertising. We hope so anyway.
Of course, we hope our temporary price isn’t the only reason you might consider us for your special day, we hope our work too, will influence you to pick up your phone as give us a call. And you can check our our work by clicking on the links on the top of this page.
And lastly, we believe you should know our prices before you check out our work and to that end, we have them below on our home page. And following them we have some samples of our work, and, of course, you can check out our links above to see much more of our work.
$1000 (Temporary Price) — Our Wedding Package
One Whole Day of Photography with Two Photographers, Including:
Bride Getting Ready, Including Hair and Makeup
Groom Getting Ready
The Ceremony
Formal Photos after the Ceremony
Reception till the Bride and Groom Leave
About 1,600 Photos Delivered on a Thumb Drive
Online Gallery
With this package, we’ll be with you till you leave your reception with the cans tied to the back of your car are banging on the road. And we’ll get a picture of that too. Also, with this package we do a Trash the Dress shoot, usually within a week to three months after your wedding. And no you don’t actually trash your dress. But you do get to put it on somewhere nice, like at the beach or in a park and get photos of just you. And it gives you a chance to put on your dress again for some extra photos. They are a lot of fun to do.
$200 — Engagement Sessions
We like doing engagement shoots at around sunset at a beach somewhere or a gorgeous part of a park or if you know of a another particularly beautiful place you love, we will be glad to go there.
We usually deliver around fifty photos from our engagement sessions, but if the sunset is especially gorgeous, we might give you more.
$100 — Huntington Beach Engagement Shoots
Huntington Beach is a wonderful place to have your engagement photos made and we’ve cut our engagement shoot price in half if you do them there, hoping that’s the place you’d pick to have them done, because for us any day we get to go there is a good day.
$200 — Portrait, Family Sessions & Senior Photos
We are wedding photographers, however we do portrait, family sessions, senior and graduation photos as well.
$50.00 — Headshots
We don’t charge very much for headshots, because we can do them in just a few minutes and it just takes maybe ten or fifteen minutes more to edit them and to text or email it to you.
The Details
All of our images in all of the above packages are processed in Both Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. The people who grace our photographs, have no blemishes, because we believe that’s how it should be. If you’re having photographs made, you should look your absolute best and it’s our job to make it so. And for weddings, we need a nonrefundable deposit of $500 to hold your date and the balance is due one month before your wedding.
We are so happy that you checked out our prices. And we’d be even happier if you followed us on our two instagram accounts, which you can do by clicking on the two following Instagram links: Instagram 1 and Instagram 2.
Thank you so much,
Ken and Vesta
