Who: Orange Photography
Why: If you’re looking for a local, creative, full-service wedding photography team, Orange Photography is your jam. Veterans in event photography with a list of happy clients a mile long, Orange Photography also offers everything from wedding photography coverage, to video services, and photo booths all around the San Francisco Bay Area. And since they operate as a team, the first part of hiring Orange Photography is getting matched with a dedicated account manager and producer for your event, which means a bunch of people whose only job is to make sure everything at your wedding is happening the way you want it to. And to top it all off, Orange Photography is hyper committed to the community where they work. In fact, they were the first studio in the city and county of San Francisco to receive the San Francisco Green Business designation. I dare you to find another all-inclusive wedding vendor who can say that.
Where/How Much: One of the best parts of Orange Photography is that they are truly one-stop shopping, offering up a whole team of photographers, videographers, and photo booth operators for local San Francisco weddings. Here’s the breakdown of what they offer:
- Photography: Weekend wedding coverage beings at $1,500, and weekday civil service wedding rates begin at $300 per hour.
- Videography: Video services begin at $1,800 (and Orange even offers discounts on non-peak days); you can also save 15% if you combine photography and video services.
- Photo booths: Photo booth rentals begin at $800 for three hours of service, and the full-service package (which includes prints, slow motion, and light painting) starts at $1200.
By now, you’re probably used to hearing about this photographer or that videographer—always someone who works solo or as half of a duo, right? Well, today we’re going to have a little chat about Orange Photography, aka the San Francisco–based wedding ensemble that will make sure your day is fabulous.
There is no “I” In Team
Remember the other day when we talked about how all-inclusive wedding services can be a serious sanity-saver in wedding planning? Well that’s basically the whole idea behind Orange Photography: lots of people and services that are here to make your life easier and your photos awesome. While they’ve been servicing weddings for more than a few years now, these guys cut their teeth on corporate events, so they’ve got more experience handling large events than they know what to do with. Case in point: when you email the Orange Photography team (like, before you even hire them), the first thing that happens is you get matched with an account manager who is dedicated to you and your wedding from day one. From there, you can peruse videography, photography, and photo booth options at your leisure and then figure out what makes the most sense for you.
And since these guys eat, sleep and breathe weddings, everyone you’ll work with is an expert in their field. Orange Photography offers consultants who can work with you to figure out the best package for your budget, a producer who manages the details of the event (think timelines, venues, staffing, start and end times, etc.), and their vetted associates who will capture the day from start to finish.
Plus, as an added bonus, booking everything through Orange Photography means you can get more bang for your buck (like up to 20% off when you combine services bang for your buck.) While you always have the option to hire individuals from Orange Photography, the team offers a unique reward program for clients where you can earn points when you book various services, and then redeem those points for album upgrades, prints, and so on.
committed to the community
Aside from offering seamless, customer-focused wedding photography and video services, the group at Orange Photography is also super committed to their community and the environment. They regularly offer their time and services to couples and groups who could otherwise not afford them, and they’ve worked hard to develop a socially responsible company. Creating an environmentally friendly and sustainable organization is so important to Orange Photography that the city and county of San Francisco has recognized their efforts with the San Francisco Green Business designation.
