Investment

Every day we make decisions about where to spend our money. We sometimes chose the bargain lower–cost options and when we do we know we're not getting the best quality available.

Other times, we want great quality and workmanship and we're willing to invest the extra money for that great quality and for the experience. We are shopping for something that will last a long time. We want something that will bring us joy for many years. We strongly feel that the investment in wedding day photography should be one of those times that you seek out the best.

We totally understand the changes in our economy, and that couples have to make every penny count. We are aware there are certain things, like purchasing a home, on the horizon. There are temptations everywhere to cut corners in regards to wedding photography. Other photographers may seem less expensive, but there's usually a reason. They may not be as experienced, or as professional, which leads to poor photography, posing, bad lighting, poor service, poor product choice and possibly a total loss of your investment. You may end up with pictures you really are not that crazy about. Pictures that every time you look at, you will be reminded of how you compromised. Don't let this happen to you.

Photography is an art, it's more than having a good camera. We ask, if you have good pots and pans in your kitchen, does that mean you're a good cook? No, of course not. Having a good camera does not make you a good photographer. At Hillside Studio, we have studied lighting, posing, printmaking, digital techniques, business and customer service for the last twelve years. It's our passion and we've built Hillside Studio around the desire to give you great wedding portraits over and over, not just an occasional lucky shot. Jody Coss is a professional with proper qualifications critical to getting the best quality, value and satisfaction for your investment. You can trust our products and services.

There will forever be important financial decisions to face in life. Whether to invest in professional photographs is one of them. One investment that never changes is family. Material things may come and go and be great for the moment but the memories from your wedding will never change. If you are like many other American's you are re–evaluating your priorities. Cutting budgets here and there and only investing in the things that matter. We feel strongly that investing in your wedding memories will let future generations have a true glimpse into your beautiful day.

We offer two tracks or paths for our couples.

The primary focus of Track One is to get a beautiful and completely custom–made finished wedding album into your hands as soon after your wedding as possible. We think it's too long to be delivering an album nine months to a year after your wedding and we have great incentives in Track One to deliver your album within four months of your wedding. Track One offers full coverage for your entire day, as many hours as you need, for $1500. In addition, we require a $1500 album credit purchase prior to your wedding for a total of a $3000 investment. There are incentives built into Track One to earn all of your proofs, earn wall portraits and all of your electronic files as well.

The primary focus of Track Two is to deliver the electronic files to a couple and then to help them with printing and album designs if desired. Investments range from $1500 - $3500 for Track Two.
