BlackTie Brothers

We recommend reaching out 6 to 12 months ahead when you can, and shorter timelines are welcome too. Send your wedding date, venue or town, and whether you want photography, film or both. We will confirm availability and recommend the two collections that fit your day best.

Our team has artists in New York, Florida and Hawaii. In Upstate New York we regularly cover Central New York, the Finger Lakes, the Southern Tier and the Catskills, and we travel across the rest of the state, including New York City and Long Island. We also cover Central and South Florida, Tampa Bay and the Hawaiian islands, and we travel for destination weddings.

Six-hour Upstate New York collections start at $3,085 for Essential Photography and $4,085 for Essential Photo + Film. For 2026-2027 weddings, most couples invest $3,800 to $4,300 for Essential Photography, $4,500 to $5,700 for Essential Photo + Film and $7,300 to $8,300 for Premium Photo + Film. These are planning ranges, not fixed quotes. Your investment depends on venue location, coverage hours, team size, travel and enhancements. New York City, Florida and Hawaii have their own regional pricing, and your proposal confirms the exact scope and price.

Yes. Photography is our lead service, and our in-house filmmakers can join the same team. Film collections include a 5 to 10 minute cinematic highlight film with professional audio and a 30 to 90 second social teaser. Premium film adds a second videographer and a complete film of the ceremony, entrances, speeches and first dances. In Upstate New York, Essential Photo + Film starts at $4,085 for six hours.

Yes. We work as a team rather than as a single photographer. Premium Photography includes two photographers, and a second photographer can be added to Essential coverage. When you book photography and film together, our photographers and filmmakers plan from the same brief. We build your team around your date, venue and priorities.

A Wedding Experience Director is a BlackTie Brothers team lead included with Premium Photo + Film and available as an add-on. They help with timeline flow, family photo lists, small wardrobe or decor fixes and emergency supplies, and they keep our photographers and filmmakers focused. They do not replace your planner or venue coordinator.

Essential photo collections include five edited previews within one week. Premium photo collections include 30 previews in about 2 to 4 weeks, and film collections include a 30 to 90 second teaser in about 2 to 4 weeks. Full galleries are typically ready in around four months and final wedding films in around six months. Peak-season volume can affect timing, and your agreement confirms your schedule.

It depends on your coverage hours and the flow of the day. As a guide, couples receive approximately 50 to 100 finished photographs per hour of coverage. We focus on a complete, consistent story of the day rather than a target number.

Yes. Every photograph in your gallery is professionally edited for color, exposure and consistency, then delivered as high-resolution downloads in a private online gallery. We edit to feel true to your day rather than to chase whatever is trending.

Yes. Our website links to more than 60 complete wedding galleries and a library of wedding films, organized by venue and location. If we have worked at your venue before, ask and we will point you to that wedding.

Because we work as a team, your wedding does not depend on one person. Our artists are trained through the same core approach, and if someone assigned to your wedding cannot be there, we assign another BlackTie Brothers artist and keep you informed. We also back up files and equipment on the wedding day.

Yes. BlackTie Brothers is a fully insured professional team. If your venue has insurance requirements for vendors, share them with us while planning.
