Photographer in Quezon City

Standard practice is one free reschedule for weather, decided 24-48 hours out. Some photographers shoot in light rain or move to covered locations — overcast light is actually flattering. Confirm the weather policy in the contract, including who decides and by when.

Share reference images before booking — every photographer has a signature style (bright and airy, dark and moody, film-like) they will not fully abandon per client. Basic retouching (blemishes, stray hairs) is normally included; heavy work like body reshaping or composite edits is billed per image. Agree the count and price beforehand.

Portrait and family sessions: 2-4 weeks. Newborn sessions: book in the second trimester, since timing depends on the birth. Weddings: 6-12 months for in-demand photographers. Seasonal peaks (spring blossom, autumn colour, pre-holiday family shoots) fill up fastest.

Portrait and family sessions: 1-3 weeks is standard, with a few preview images in the first days. Weddings: 4-8 weeks. If you need images by a hard date (visa, listing, campaign), put the deadline in the contract; rush delivery typically adds 20-50%.

Hourly rates run ₱1,500-₱8,000 depending on experience. Portrait or family sessions typically total ₱3,000-₱10,000; debut and wedding packages (photo + video teams) cluster at ₱30,000-₱120,000 for full-day coverage from reputable studios.

Packages are priced for the studio's home city (usually Metro Manila or a provincial hub). Shoots elsewhere add OOT fees covering per-head transport, meals, and lodging for the team — commonly ₱1,500-₱5,000 per person for nearby provinces, more for flights. Get the OOT computation in writing.
