About Al Bracken Photography

Hi, my name is Al Bracken! If you can see this message, that means I am available on the date you set for your project. To book a session, a retainer fee of $50 + the Thumbtack(TT) fee is due upfront for most shoot types after we finish planning your session. The TT fee does not go towards the balance and the $50 does go toward the balance. This officially reserves your booking day and time! Here's my current pricing to vet if I am a good fit for you! WEDDINGS Package 1 -$400 -1hr coverage + retouching service Package 2 -$600 -2hr coverage + retouching service Package 3 -$900 -3hr coverage + retouching service Package 4 -$1200-4hr coverage +retouching service Package 5 -$1500-6hr coverage + retouching service Package 6 -$1800 +8hr coverage +retouching service +unlimited couple's portraits +B&W couple's portraits Package 7 -$2100 +10hr coverage + retouching service + unlimited couple's portraits + BW couple's portraits + Selected previews ready within 48 hrs.

The TT fee does not go towards the balance. The $300 portion *does* go towards the balance. Non-wedding shoots: Pricing usually starts anywhere between $260-$347 + the additional Thumbtack fee. I have a graduated pricing structure and the automatic quote you see when contacting me is the starting *range* for the 1st package. I don't do food photography or newborn photography. Anyhoo, what makes me stand out in my region is the fact that I am primarily a fashion photographer that does everything else as well! I've even photographed people you've seen on TV and now I'd like to shoot with you! Thanks for reading! Al

Al’s personality and professionalism is top-notch. He captured every single moment without even being asked! He accommodated our event time change and was very personable. He even sent unedited proof of pictures that I requested! Guest even commented on how well Al interacted with everyone! I would definitely hire him again and refer him to family and friends!

I highly recommend working with Al if you need high quality photos taken! He is very professional and punctual. I hired him to take candid photos, which we had to reschedule a few times due to weather but he was very flexible about it. Overall, Al did an awesome job!

Ashlee R.Nov 2024

Al was amazing! This was my first time taking professional photos with my mom and I was nervous. I wanted candid photos versus staged and Al helped talk me through the process. He helped me select a location and he was even flexible last minute to change the day of the shoot due the weather. He was personable, professional, punctual. My mom loved him. He delivered exactly what I asked for and I would not hesitate to use him for future photos. Thanks Al for making this a memorable shoot with my mom!

Al Bracken shot our backyard micro-wedding /elopement celebration on very short notice. After waffling over wedding plans for months we had decided spur of the moment to get married privately and have immediate family over for dinner that weekend. The stars aligned when Al had a window of availability that fit with ours, as we really just wanted some high quality photos with our parents to look back on. Al Bracken was timely, friendly, and frankly more than fairly priced! We got way more than we expected in terms of quality, content, and number of photographs. He showed a passion for meeting the vision of his client while creating beautiful photographs. He also has very simple and straightforward business practices. He was easy to book online, sent a straightforward contract via email, texted deets, returned the photos in a timely manner, and they were available for high-resolution download from any device. Thank you for capturing memories we will be able to look back on for years Al! You were a pleasure to work with.
