Chantal Boutros Photography & Designs' photostream  

Introduction
Let me start by saying that I am in love with love!  If you’re in love, you deserve a photographer who will be able to freeze those emotions in time for you and your family to cherish for generations.  You will look back at your photos and remember just how in love you were at that moment, and hopefully grow more in love each time you look at them.  Not only do I capture the moments that matter most to you, but I do it in a way that is completely timeless.  You could say my style is a combination of traditional and creative photojournalism.  My goal is not to give you a bunch of pretty pictures, but to give you laughter, excitement, and a wealth of memories. I am also an LGBTQ-friendly photographer.

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for visiting my profile!  You can reach me by phone at 401-662-7983 or by e-mail at chantal@myway.com.

Services Offered
All packages are custom made depending on your specific needs, so you don’t pay for products or services you don’t want.  I also offer great discounts when you add more to your package, but I don’t penalize you if you don’t buy it all at once, so you can continue saving even after your wedding.  Regardless of what package we build together, every booking includes the following:

• A pre and post-event consultation

We take the time to get to know your needs and expectations.
Will meet at your home or other location of your choice.
Unlimited e-mail and telephone consultation-time.

• Professional, Artistic Imagery by Chantal Boutros and/or Nick MacCarthy!

We will not subcontract out your Photography.

• Flexible amount of professional event photography coverage ranging from 4 hours to the entire day (or special arrangements can be made for a smaller affair)

Preparations  |  Ceremony  |  Formals  |  Wedding Party Candids  |  Reception  |  Farewell

• An unlimited number of photos taken

• Individualized attention to every photo during post-processing

We do not "batch process" your photos.
Basic post-processing of images.
Artistic rendition of select images which may include: B&W, Antiquing, High Key, Sepia, Selective Color, or Vignettes.

• A CD of the Low-Resolution Proofs

Watermarked images great for e-mailing and uploading to your favorite social networking sites.
Optional upgrades available to either an Online Gallery, Proof Book, 4x6 Proof Prints, and/or a High-Resolution DVD are available.

• Image Archival for a Minimum of 2 Years -

Order at your own pace.
If you purchased a High-Resolution DVD, your order can still be fulfilled for as long as the disc is readable.

• Interest Free, 3-Part Payment Process

This is our effort to alleviate some of the stress you're already encountering during the final months and weeks before your wedding.
Breakdown of the payment plan is as follows:
          25% non-refundable date retainer due upon signing of the contract.
          25% due (8) weeks prior to the event.
          50% due (1) week prior to the event.
Other arrangements can be made if needed, but this seems to work well for most people.

• Travel up to 100 miles away from the South County area of RI

This radius includes Eastern Massachusetts almost to New Hampshire & into the Cape plus most of Connecticut, but we're certainly not limited from traveling to other locations in New England so long as accommodations are made ahead of time.

The following optional services and upgrades are also available:

These are not assistants.  They are professional, artistic, contributing Photographers.
Perfect for larger events (a good rule of thumb is to have at least 1 Photographer to every 150 guests).
