Xenia Helix Photography Pricing At a Glance


I understand the challenging process of selecting the right photographer, which can be incredibly time and energy-consuming. For many, the price range is a crucial factor in the decision-making process, and it would be much more convenient not to wait for an email inquiry response only to find out that the pricing is not within your comfort zone. Personally, I believe photography is not your typical shopping category where you simply compare prices dollar to dollar; there is so much more to it! Every package can be tailored to your unique needs and wants.

My couples typically invest anywhere from $3,600 to $9,890 for the full-day wedding package. For elopements and micro-weddings, the typical investment is around $1300.

Travel is already included for most locations in MA; traveling out of state is subject to additional costs.

What is your photography style?

I receive this question frequently, and I understand that it can be interpreted in various ways. Some inquire if I lean more towards a journalistic style, preferring candid shots over posed ones. Others seek insights into how I handle light, darkness, vividness, or muted tones during the editing process. I'll provide a comprehensive response to address everyone's queries.

I describe my style as "vivid and real," meaning I don't apply a fixed set of camera settings that render every client's pictures identical, regardless of the weather or venue. Whether it's a sunny outdoor wedding in a tent, a candle-lit mansion, or a modern venue with glass walls, each wedding is unique, and I aim to capture that individuality.

My goal is for your wedding pictures to transport you back to the exact time and place of your special day. I want your grandmother, unable to attend, to receive her album and feel as if she was there, rather than questioning why the grass appeared grayish and pale at your summer wedding in Massachusetts.

The majority of my work is done in-camera, utilizing the available light, landscape, and your chosen location. I adapt to the mood of the day and capture reality—lush greens, delicate magnolia petals, or the bold and sharp tropical flowers in your bouquet. The burgundy red of bridesmaids' dresses stays true, and the skin tones of every guest remain authentic.

While I do edit pictures to enhance reality, I refrain from altering it. When you browse through my portfolio, you won't feel like you're seeing photos from the same wedding (unless you scrutinize closely and notice the different faces). Instead, you'll sense the uniqueness of each couple and their story, unified by consistent quality of light, true skin tones, the richness of nature, and a tribute to the unique light of each day.

What is your editing style?

My primary focus is on creating timeless images that won't lose their relevance even after 100 years. I preserve true skin tones and don't sacrifice other colors for temporary trends and aesthetics. I respect your choice of a specific color scheme (which, I am sure, you chose for a good reason) for your wedding day – dusty blue will stay dusty blue, and bright red won't become orange.

How will we get our pictures?

You will receive all of your edited pictures in a beautiful online gallery. The pictures are immediately available for downloading, and they come in various sizes for your convenience. Your gallery is shareable with your friends and family, allowing them to download pictures as well!

Do we get all the pictures? Do we need to buy any?

You will receive all your culled down, hand-edited images in a beautiful online gallery. The pictures are the final product and ready to be downloaded, with no hidden fees or need to pay for downloading.

Your gallery will come with a personal print shop directly connected to a printing lab. You will only be responsible for paying for physical prints if you choose to order through your gallery.
