2016 PRICING GUIDE
INTRODUCTION Hey there - I’m Brian Batista Bettencourt (3B), thanks for getting in touch and checking out my work. My approach to wedding photography is slightly different than what’s considered the norm in the industry. My experience as a photojournalist working for the top newspapers and editorial publications in Canada has allowed me to grow as an artist and storyteller. As a documentary photographer my goal is to tell a meaningful story of your wedding day by capturing genuine candid emotion and beautiful portraiture. My style incorporates a mixture of vintage aesthetics while embracing simplicity and minimalism. It’s important for me to capture an honest documenation of your wedding day but with an added creative flare to tell a complete visual story from beginning to end. You won’t see a list of accolades, awards or badges on my website because that stuff doesn’t matter to me. My goal and focus is to emerse myself in the atmosphere in order create timeless images for my clients that they can cherish for the rest of their lives.

2016 PRICING GUIDE
ENGAGEMENT SESSION A half day lifestyle session wherever you wish. We will spend the morning/afternoon/evening together, getting to know each other, doing something fun, and taking some awesome photos. We will also get a chance to go out for food, lunch or dinner (my treat). $400
FA Q Q: How do we book you? A: Anytime you’re ready to book, let me know and I’ll send over a contract for you to fill out. A non-refundable deposit of 30% of the package price is also required to secure your date. Q: What are the payment options? A: I currently accept cash, cheque, or e-transfer. You can spllit up your payments if you’d like, most clients make two separate payments including the deposit. The remaining balance is due 14 days before the wedding. Don’t worry, I know you’ll be very busy during that time, I’ll send out a reminder email to help keep you organized. Q: How long before we receive our images? A: Engagement sessions will be posted online 2-3 weeks after the session and your online wedding gallery will be ready between 4-6 weeks. Q: How long before we receive our album(s)? A: I give my clients the opportunity to choose the photos that they wish to have included in the album. Then, Ryanne (my second shooter and designer) will put together the first draft of your album. You will then get one redesign to change any photos or layouts that you wish. After the albums gets your seal of approval we will send it off to print.Once the album is sent off to print we will get it to you in 4-6 weeks.
FA Q C O N T I N U E D Q: How many images will we receive? A: There’s no set number or limit for the amount of images you receive. An average engagement / lifestyle session will bring back between 50-150 images, while most weddings range from 600-1000 images. Q: Will all of my photos be edited? A: Absolutely. All images are print-ready and personally edited by myself or Ryanne to adjust contrast, exposure, sharpness and all that good stuff. Q: Do you travel outside of Toronto? A: I love to travel and work outside of the city. I often work in Ottawa and Montreal, but I’ve also worked in Alberta, Cuba, the USA, and Europe. Please let me know where you’re planning your wedding and I can give you an estimated quote. Q: Can we meet you before booking you? A: I highly recommend meeting everyone prior to being booked. I’d love to sit down, buy you a coffee or beer, and get to know you. We can skim through sample albums, look at photos from a full wedding day and see if I’m the right fit for your wedding day. Getting to know you is important to me, knowing what you like and dislike can really help me shape the type of photographs or locations I use. So please, don’t be shy and request a meeting at your earliest convenience. If you’re not based in or near Toronto I’d love to meet you over Skype or on the phone as well.
