Hourly Pricing | NOSTALGIA NOMAD
CLIENT-FRIENDLY & Transparent RATEs
In my experience booking my own wedding, I became increasingly aware of the "wedding tax" that came along with just about every aspect of booking vendors for our celebration from start to finish.
It’s no secret that the wedding industry has a markup problem—sometimes called the “wedding tax”—where the moment something is branded for weddings, the price skyrockets.
I don’t believe in that approach. Whether this is a proposal, engagement, or just for fun session - you'll go into our shoots with the same pricing expectations, no matter what stage of life we're working together.
