Micro Wedding and Elopement Coverage: Why a Custom Package Makes More Sense

Photo Only, Video Only, or Both: Build the Wedding Coverage That Fits Your Day
June 15, 2026
Wedding photography is one of the few purchases where the price tag rarely reflects what you actually get — it reflects what the studio decided to bundle together. Two thousand dollars more for a second shooter you did not ask for. Another five hundred for an album style you would never choose. Package pricing has always favored the vendor, not the couple.
AlphaRes Studio is changing that with a live Build Your Own pricing tool that puts every decision back in your hands.
How the Tool Works
The builder walks you through three steps. First, you set your coverage — how many hours, whether you want photo, video, or both, and how many crew members you need. Second, you add on anything extra: drone, same-day highlight, canvas prints, express delivery. Third, you fill in your event details and submit your request.
At every step, your total updates live. You see exactly what each addition costs. Nothing is hidden. Nothing is padded. What you build is what you pay.
The Value Meter: Know Before You Commit
One of the most innovative features is the real-time value comparison chart. As you build, a bar graph shows how your custom package stacks up against our Premium ($4,000), Elite ($6,000), and Luxury ($8,000) packages. If your build delivers more value than a package, the chart makes that clear. If a package covers more than your build, you will see that too.
This level of price transparency is almost unheard of in the wedding industry. We built it because we believe the best clients are informed clients — and informed clients book with confidence.
Promo Codes and Savings Built In
The builder also accepts promo codes at checkout. If you have a discount from a bridal show, a referral, or a social promotion, it applies directly to your custom quote — no negotiating, no back-and-forth emails.
Canvas Prints at 20% Off Your Second Unit
If you add canvas prints to your build, the second unit of the same size automatically comes at 20% off. It is a small thing, but it is the kind of detail that shows up when pricing is actually designed around the couple — not around margin protection.
Wedding photography does not have to feel like a negotiation. Build your package now and see what transparent, flexible pricing actually looks like.
