The problem with packages

Square peg. Round hole.

Most photographers sell three tiers. You pick the one closest to what you want and live with the parts that don't fit.

Maybe you only need 5 hours but want a full album. Maybe you want 10 hours of coverage but skip the engagement session. Maybe your wedding looks nothing like the "standard" wedding the packages were built for.

BYO flips the model. Start with the base. Add what you actually want. Skip what you don't. You don't pay for things you'll never use.

How it works

Four steps. That's it.

01

Pick your hours

5 hours minimum. Scale up to a full day. We'll talk through the right window for your timeline.

02

Pick your editing

Quick turnaround vs. full artisan edit. Different price points, same Bohde signature look.

03

Pick your add-ons

Album, second shooter, engagement session, sneak-peek gallery, prints. Pay only for what you want.

04

Custom quote within 24 hours. No pressure, no slick sales tactics.

A reality check

Is BYO right for you?

✓ Perfect if you…

  • Have a non-traditional wedding timeline
  • Want flexibility around coverage hours
  • Are combining an elopement + reception
  • Already have an engagement photographer
  • Care about photography but want to control where the money goes

✗ Maybe not if you…

  • Want the full standard package — one of the wedding packages will be simpler
  • Don't want to make decisions (we get it, no shame)
  • Aren't sure what you want yet — let's start with a consult
Real BYO build

Sarah + Jordan's 7-hour BYO.

Day-of timeline: getting ready at 1pm, intimate ceremony at 4pm, reception until 10pm. They wanted full coverage but skipped the album — her parents ended up gifting them one later.

Their build: Base ($3,395) + 2 extra hours ($400) + second shooter for ceremony + reception ($300) + same-day teaser gallery ($250) = $4,345 total.

"We saved $450 vs. ATX 2026-2027 and got exactly what we wanted." — Sarah
