How to Book

ALI MCGARY PHOTOGRAPHY

I am so excited that you are interested in working together! I have worked with hundreds of clients over the years and have found the easiest and most effective way to go about booking so let's get started! On this page, you will find information such as package pricing guides, location ideas, outfit suggestions, FAQs, and testimonials. Once you've read through everything, head to my contact page to fill out my interest form!

Investment:


Photography is a lifelong investment of memories. I have created packages for every type of client + budget because you deserve quality work at every stage of life! Inquire with me to build your own custom package for your family photoshoot, branding portfolio, or wedding.

See package pricing guides here!

Locations:


Pick a location based on your personality as an individual/ couple. Was your first date at a coffee shop? Let's meet up there and take some photos! Are you an outdoorsy person? Bring your dog to the park and we can grab some of you two together!

What to wear:


Your outfit should first and foremost be something that you feel comfortable and confident in. From there, it is important to think about color. Neutrals and earth tones are always a great go-to. However, keep your location in mind as you'll want to stand out and create contrast against your backdrop! Finally, it's always best, in my opinion, to stay away from busy patterns or obvious branding.

FAQ

What kind of gear do you use?

I shoot with Canon gear and have several different lenses to make sure every part of your session is captured in a perfectly unique way! I also have a Canon film camera that I often bring with me to sessions! Feel free to email me for links to my specific gear.

Are packages customizable?

Yes! Inquire with me about your specific needs and we can create a custom package that works well for you.

Will there be a second shooter?

2/3 of my wedding packages include a complimentary second shooter. A second or third shooter can be added to any package for $50/hour.

Are payment plans available?

Yes! My most popular payment plan is on a monthly basis. Reach out to me and we can come up with a schedule that works well for you.

Can I order prints through you?

Yes! When your gallery is sent, you will have the option to send any of your photos in for printing. I would be happy to walk you through that process!

What is your turn around time?

For regular sessions such as grads and families, you can expect your photos in about 2 weeks time!
Weddings require a bit more time. I will send you sneak peeks within the first week of your wedding and the full gallery will be delivered in about 2 months.

What happens if you have to cancel?

I take cancellations very seriously and, so far, have not had to cancel on a client. However, in case of an emergency such as a death in the family, I will either send an associate photographer to cover the session for me or provide you with a full refund.

Do you shoot destination weddings?

Yes! I love to travel and will happily drive/fly wherever you want to take me. Inquire with me about your specific destination and we can go over pricing details together.

I am ready to book! Now what??
