Wedding packages start at $6200 and we only accept a limited number of wedding commissions per year. Sizing possibilities are virtually endless and we have been commissioned to create portrait art pieces of up to 60x60 in the past. We believe in heirloom quality photographs to last you for generations and believe our end product is the finest available to photographers at this time. Keep these points in mind when choosing a photographer. To get natural setting type images or certain urban setting images as seen in the Marmalade Photography Portfolio, you need to get in nature and that is why our outdoors Marmalade Location and Marmalade Studio Sessions are "kicked off" from our Wilmington studio which is nestled amongst tens of thousands of acres of preservation/conservation land in the southwest suburbs. Examples of both types of sessions can be found HERE. Marmalade Urban Studio Sessions combine indoor and outdoor in and around the downtown area images. Marmalade Locations are shot outdoors in locales that are within driving distance from our studio chosen for aesthetic beauty or element of fun. Our studio is conveniently located off Interstate 55 for mostly highway driving for a vast majority of our clients, takes about an hour to arrive from the Lincoln Park area to our studio on an average traffic day. Keep this in mind when booking. On Location Marmalade Sessions are a convenient way to have photographs done of you and your family in your must comfortable environment...your home or a location of your choosing. •Session fees are payable upon booking. All presented images will have undergone complimentary light retouching to give you a good idea of what the finished artwork will look like. •Session fees are non refundable although if a rescheduling need takes place we will attempt to accomodate on a once reschedule. •You may NOT interchange an On Location Session for an Marmalade Loc/Urban Studio Session at a later time...we appreciate that you give a good deal of thought as to the type of session you are wanting when booking, during your phone consult we discuss the best type of session to meet your needs and make accommodations for our own calendar at that time.
