Rates & Collections

Wedding photography
& film, priced plainly.

Every collection below is all-inclusive: eight hours on the day, a fully edited gallery with personal print rights, travel across Southern California, and no hidden line items at the end. Switch between our Studio Team and Signature collections to see exactly what changes.

How our pricing worksShow less

There are two ways to book Lulan Studio. Studio Team collections put two of our staff artists on your day — the same brief, the same color grade, the same gear cases as everything in our portfolio. Signature collections put Lulan or Alli in the room personally, on Leica and medium format bodies, with a personalised edit and optional film.

Photography and videography are priced separately so you can take one, the other, or both. Booking both together is the most common choice and we will build a combined quote on your call. Every collection can be split into ten interest-free monthly payments, and coverage hours can be extended on the day itself.

What is included

Smaller days & sessions

Elopements, courthouse days
and the hours around it.

Not every day needs eight hours. These are priced to stand on their own, or to sit alongside a wedding collection.

Elopement & courthouse collection
Los Angeles elopement couple photographed alone on a quiet estate lawn

The two of you,
one hour.

An elopement or a courthouse wedding. A bluff at Point Dume, a county clerk’s office, a backyard with six people in it. One artist, start to finish.

Good to know

What the numbers say

A few figures from the weddings we photograph, to help you decide how many hours you need.

Coverage lengthEight hours is the single most common booking, and about 60% of the weddings we photograph are covered in six to eight hours. About 10% run nine to ten hours, usually because of a tea ceremony, a church ceremony earlier in the day, or two locations.
Ceremony timeAbout 40% of the ceremonies we photograph start between 3:00 and 5:00 PM, and 4:00 PM is the most common start time. An earlier ceremony moves portraits into brighter light; a later one leaves room for sunset.
First lookAbout 45% of the timelines we plan include a first look. It moves couple and wedding party portraits before the ceremony, so you can join your guests at cocktail hour.
Day and seasonSaturday accounts for about 55% of the weddings we photograph, with Friday and Sunday at about 15% each. October is the busiest month, followed by May and September.
