🎉 What is an event photo session?

An event photo session is when we provide on-site photography coverage for your special event. This includes a mix of posed portraits, candid moments, and environmental shots that showcase the energy and emotion of the day.

We cover a wide range of events, such as:

  • Community gatherings

  • Festivals and rallies

  • Birthday parties

  • School and youth programs

  • Concerts and performances

  • Award shows, weddings, and more

📍 Where do sessions take place?

We come to you! You choose the location(s), and we’ll bring the gear and creative energy. When selecting a location, consider comfort, accessibility, and lighting. We’ll discuss your location(s) when we confirm your session details.

💰 How is pricing determined?

Each session is customized to reflect the size and scope of your event. Our estimates are based on:

  • Number of guests or participants

  • Number of locations

  • Event duration

  • Any travel, parking, or permit-related costs (e.g., tolls over $10 or venue photography permits)

We also factor in post-production time. For every hour we spend on-site, we typically invest another hour editing and preparing your media.

📦 Do you offer packages?

We build custom quotes for every client to ensure the experience is tailored to your needs and budget. Whether you’re planning a one-hour shoot or a full-day event, we’ll create a plan that keeps things fun, flexible, and stress-free.

🎁 What’s included?

Every Taste of Soul session includes:

  • A private online gallery of edited photos

  • A downloadable folder or DVD with all images (no watermarks, printable up to 5x7)

  • Optional print and framing services

  • Personal-use reproduction rights

  • A relaxed, professional experience led by photographers who truly care

🗓️ Availability & Travel

We primarily book evenings and weekends, though we’re open to weekday sessions depending on availability. Based in St. Louis, we regularly travel throughout Missouri, Illinois, and beyond. Destination shoots are welcome and may include travel fees, which we’ll clearly outline in your quote.

Our standard rate ranges from $75 to $150/hour, depending on the complexity and goals of your session. A typical 1-hour event shoot starts at $75, with additional costs depending on delivery options and travel requirements. Every session includes post-shoot editing and media prep time.
