Bill Rettberg Photography | Baltimore, Maryland Wedding Photographer

Frequesntly Asked Questions:

How long have you been in business?
Bill Rettberg has been in the wedding photography business for over 60 years. With this much experience you can be sure that you are getting a great photographer!

How many pictures do you take?
We have no limit on the number of photos that we take. The final number of proofs that you receive usually depends on the size of the wedding party, the number of guests and the liveliness of the reception. Each photo will be individually color and density corrected before it is presented to you.

How long do I have to wait for my proofs?
We typically tell couples 1 - 2 weeks before you see your proofs. Often times we have them ready for you within the 1st week after your wedding. When you pick up your proofs, you are free to take them home for 1 month to make your selections. After that it will take us about 6 weeks to get your completed Bridal Album order to you.

What is included in the photographers time for the day?
For a full coverage wedding, the photographer usually arrives wherever the bride is dressing about 1 1/2 hours before the ceremony to take some preparation, family and bridal party photos. He will then follow you to the ceremony location after which he will take about 20 minutes of formals. After the formals at the ceremony location, he will go with you to the reception where he will stay until his contracted time is over. If your day does not follow this timeline or if you have special request, we will do our best to accommodate them.

What is your style?
Our style is a combination of traditional and candid photography. we try to capture things as they happen but we also have an obligation to take some traditional formal photos of the people at your wedding who are important to you. Again, if your style is more one than the other, we will adapt to suite your taste.


What is your price range and what do your packages include?
Our packages prices range from $1295 and up and include the photographers time for the day as well as a "studio credit" which can be used towards the purchase of albums, prints, CD/DVD, etc.


Can you customize a package for me?
Yes, after you visit with us, if you do not see a package that suites your needs, budget or taste, just let us know and we may be able to come up with something special for you.


Can I give you a list of requested photos?
Absolutely! If you have specific photos that you want taken, please give us a list prior to the wedding. During the commotion of the day it is easy to forget that one pose you saw in a magazine and wanted to try or that picture you wanted with a family member from out of town. Better safe then sorry!

Who will design my album and can I OK the designs before it is printed?
Your album will be designed by our staff, in our studio after meeting with you to find out exactly what you want and don't want to see. When the design is complete, you are more then welcome to schedule an appointment to come in and view your album or to suggest changes before it is printed.


What is your payment schedule?
For full coverage weddings, we require $600 with your contract, $600 ten days before your wedding, $600 when you pick up your proofs and any balance will be due when you pick up your completed order.

Traditional bridal albums with individual matted photos
Traditional bridal albums with what we call "designer style" composite prints...no mats
Mounted designer albums where the composite print is mounted to the page
Coffee table books - designer composites are printed on press paper and bound together like a book
Flush mount albums - your designer prints are printed onto a library bound, board page.  These albums allow for panoramic spreads as well as creative photo cover options

Unlike many other wedding photographers who outsource their design work, each of our bridal albums are custom designed by our own staff and in our own studio!  We meet with you once you have selected the photos that YOU want to go into your ablum.  We don't put a limit on the number of photos that you can include.  We work with you to design your album and get a feel for your style by asking a series of questions during your consultation.  Once we have your album designed, we will invite you back into our studio for an approval consultation where YOU have the final say!  You are allowed to make an unlimited number of changes to your album before it is printed.  We have found that by designing our own albums based on a couples individual style, each album is truley a unique piece of art that can be enjoyed for years to come!

To view some of our sample albums, please give us a call to schedule a no obligation consultation in our studio: 410-433-4345.
