For all my wedding packages I provide an optional add on for a second photographer. Having an additional photographer is extremely valuable. Not only does it result in more photos captured, but it also contributes to maintaining a smooth timeline, facilitating the organization of family formals, and ensuring an extra focus on intricate details. Having a second photographer means having an additional pair of hands to offer you a water during portrait sessions, fix your dress, and overall optimize the time we have to capture every precious moment of your special day.

All sessions within 100 miles of Chaska, MN are included at no additional cost. For any mileage beyond 100 miles, there is a charge of $2 per mile. For destination weddings, airline tickets and hotel cost will be added onto the package cost, all other travel costs will be covered by Ali A’s Photography.

For sessions lasting 4 hours or less, you can expect to receive your online gallery of edited images within 6 weeks from the date of your session. For weddings or sessions exceeding 4 hours, your edited image gallery will be available within 8 weeks from your wedding day. The gallery will be hosted on my client gallery site, Pixieset, where you'll have convenient access to your photos for 360 days, a shareable link for family and friends, along with full print and download release of all your photos.

Yes, I require a 35% initial payment to secure your date. A middle project date payment of 35% and the final 30% payment is due the date prior to your session date. It’s important to note the initial payment is not a deposit, but a payment towards your total cost.
