What makes Champagne Photography unique?
  Ed Champagne has specialized in weddings for 25 years and has personally photographed over 700 weddings. Last year alone, he took 12,000 wedding images!

Ed enjoys working with the bride and groom on the wedding day, both as a photographer and someone who can be counted to help the day go smoothly.

Blending in with the crowd and being as unobtrusive as possible, allowing the day to unfold comfortably and as planned is the aim of Champagne Photography.

We also aim for 100% customer satisfaction. If you are not completely satisfied with your finished product, we will do whatever it takes to correct potential problems.
 
 
What should be the criteria for finding the right wedding photographer?
  It is important to choose someone you like and with whom you are completely at ease. You will be spending most of your wedding day with them and the connection you make with the photographer will come through in your images.

You should find an experienced photographer whose work you connect with and love. They should be well versed and adept in their style. We always say that you should love the photographer and their work (and reserve them as soon as possible).
 
 
What is your wedding photography rate and reprint prices?
 

We offer a variety of collections designed to offer you customized options. Weddings starting at $250. Please contact us for more information. You may reach us at (802) 865-2804 or ed@champagnephotography.com. We would love to discuss your needs.


 


How may I place a print order from a wedding?
  You may either phone in your reprint order to us using the image numbers at 802.865.2804 or e-mail us at ed@champagnephotography.com. Family and friends of our clients are welcome to place print orders from your wedding.
 
 
Do you photograph traditional group shots? Should I provide you with a list of important photographs?
  Unless you request otherwise, we do photograph the standard groups of the wedding party, family and bride & groom. It's an important part of recording your family history at your wedding. But it is just a small portion. We work quickly and can get it done in a short amount of time when it's well organized. You may wish to designate someone to gather people. We will not go up to pose everyone, just give a little direction if needed.

We do not need a long list of "must have" photographs. But we would like you to specify anything special that you want, which may include you with someone you are especially close to (that is not in the wedding party or immediate family). Of course we like to know about anything unusual or unique to your wedding.

The traditional wedding group shots take approximately 45 min to 1 hour. We like to take those photographs following the ceremony or after the receiving line. Any additional group photographs take an average of about 4 minutes per group.

 
 
How far advanced are you booked? How do we book you?
  Certain times of the year book out a year in advance. Also, particular dates are more popular than others. We photograph a select number of weddings a year in order to maintain a high level of service and deliver the photographs in a few short weeks. A retainer fee of $400 will be required to secure your date and will be applied towards your balance. At the time of booking us, we will send you our contract. We accept cash, check, and Visa/MasterCard. The rest of the balance is due 10 days before the wedding.

 
Do you photograph other special events and parties?
  Yes. Call for more details (802) 865-2804 or

Do you offer gift certificates?
  Yes, we do. You can purchase a portrait or engagement session or choose a wedding package to give as a gift to the bride and groom. Please call or fill out our Order Form. We will mail you the gift certificate boxed with a ribbon or we can ship directly to whom you wish to give your gift.
