Mark A. Shephard

Being a wedding photographer in Morgantown, W.Va., I feel privileged to be able to capture everlasting memories for my clients. My years working as a U.S. Navy photographer and then as a photojournalist eventually led to my decision to start photographing weddings in 2000. My company used to be called Shephard Imageworks and for 15 years the South Bend, Ind., area (Michiana) gave me the opportunity to be part of many wonderful couples' wedding days. Your wedding photographs will maintain enormous sentimental value when remembering and celebrating your marriage. Whether going through a print box with an accompanying flash drive to relive your big day — maybe with new frames and chosen spaces in mind — or relaxing with an album or book, I'll work to create what suits you best. Mixbook albums are remarkably crafted and of exceptional quality, and a design service that I offer my clients. You may also be interested in a less expensive album. I offer a Kolo Hudson 2up photo album that holds 200 4x6 photos. If you're not interested in an album right away, Hanging Branch print boxes are relishable keepsakes. My services start with a retainer fee of $500 for up to nine hours, and $250 for up to four hours. I only offer packages for full-day weddings, so if you need my services for six hours ($375 retainer) or less the information in the next paragraph will apply, as it also does for clients who want a full day of service but no album or book. In the two to three weeks after your wedding, I will do an initial edit and upload your photos to a client-proofing gallery, which will then allow you to choose the files that you would like included on your flash drive, and in your book or album. Files that you choose (at $9 each) I will then prepare for your online gallery, flash drive, and album or book if you decide on a package. The fee for each file also includes an accompanying 4x5 or 4x6 finished print. Packages ($2,000) Up to nine hours of service, 150 hi-resolution files with an accompanying 4x5 or 4x6 print and flash drive, and a Hudson 2up album ($2,400) Up to nine hours of service, 175 hi-resolution files with an accompanying 4x5 or 4x6 print and flash drive, and a Hudson 2up album ($2,750) Up to 10 hours of service, 200 hi-resolution files with an accompanying 4x5 or 4x6 print and flash drive, and a Hudson 2up album ($2,800) Up to nine hours of service, 150 hi-resolution files with an accompanying 4x5 or 4x6 print and flash drive, and a 25/26 page custom-designed book ($3,200) Up to nine hours of service, 175 hi-resolution files with an accompanying 4x5 or 4x6 print and flash drive, and a 30/31 page custom-designed book ($3,500) Up to 10 hours of service, 200 hi-resolution files with an accompanying 4x5 or 4x6 print and flash drive, and a 35/36 page custom-designed book
