Studio Listing Pricing and Ordering Information

The Pictage Studio Listing

Your first region listing is provided free of charge as part of your Pictage Membership. Professional Plan members also receive a second region at no additional charge. Charges will apply (as listed below) for each additional region.

Additional regions are $45 each.
National Region: Pictage now offers a "National" region, for those photographers who travel throughout the United States to shoot weddings. The "National" region will be marketed to higher-end brides, who are looking for top-tier photographers to capture their special day. The "National" region can be enabled in the same way as any other region in the Pictage Directory. If you select "National" as your one free region (all additional regions are $45/month), you will only be visible to a bride who has selected "National." Please note that "National" does not show in all local regions.
Pictage Directory Ranking: As a way to offer all Pictage partners the opportunity to enjoy premier Directory placement, every studio on the Pictage Directory is now ranked (per region). Pictage determines a studio's ranking by factoring two things: client service level and web sale orders.

New Sample Event Feature

For a one-time fee of $25, you can have our Special Services department create a Sample Event for you by combining your best images from five different Pictage events! This is a great opportunity for you to showcase a variety of your work to current and prospective clients. Simply send Event ID's and image selections (from up to five different events) to specialservices@pictage.com. Please note the following information before ordering:

Use a variety of images that effectively showcase your work.
We have found that the best way to make an impression on brides is not to overwhelm them with too many images, so please choose selectively.
Image selections must be found in existing events in your Pictage account.
Sample events are not categorized or rotated. Images are displayed in the order they are sent in your e-mail.
After the first year, there is an annual fee of $10 to maintain your Sample Event on Pictage's site.

How to Create Your Studio Listing

The information below refers to terminology used on the Studio Marketing Preferences Form, an example of which is shown in the image on the right side of the page below.

To view, create or make changes to your studio listings:

Log in to your Studio Homepage and click on the Studio Preferences button under the Studio Resources box.
After the "Preferences" page opens, click on the Studio Marketing Preferences link in the Studio Preferences toolbar.
Edit the form as needed.
Once form is completed, click on Submit at the bottom of the page.

A. Use standard studio information?

If you check this box, the contact/address information Pictage currently has on file for your studio will automatically populate into the Studio Contact Information fields. If this information does not automatically appear, please manually enter your contact information. Please note that in either situation, you will still be required to fill out the Studio Promotional Information section.

B. Style of Photography:

This refers to the styles of photography your studio primarily shoots in. Please check all that apply. Styles include the following:

- Traditional: The photographer works solely from a pre-determined "shot list" of images requested by the bride and groom. The list generally includes posed shots, as well as, candid images taken at pre-arranged events (i.e., bride and groom cutting the cake).

- Photojournalism: The photographer moves through the wedding capturing special moments as he or she finds them. Generally, the photographer does not use an established list of shots.

- Creative: Photographers place the subjects in certain settings to take advantage of good lighting or beautiful backgrounds. Once the scene is set, the couple and their party are free to be themselves, resulting in a more spontaneous feel. Unlike the photojournalism style, creative photography takes advantage of the photographer's artistic judgment rather than simply capturing a series of moments.

- Fine Art: Photographers blend a specific art form (such as Surrealism) with actual images, candid or prearranged, from the wedding.

C. Minimum Wedding Package (Optional):

This section provides customers with an estimate of your studio's general price ranges. The range you choose is displayed on Pictage's site.
