01 / Start with what matters

How much is wedding photography in Wilmington?

At Pink Penguin Studios, wedding photography starts at $3,500 for six hours. Photo + video starts at $5,000 for eight hours. These are our collection prices, not a Wilmington-wide average or a venue rental quote.

Start with the parts of the day you want covered: getting ready, the ceremony, family photographs, portraits and the reception. Compare the hours and inclusions before choosing a collection.

02 / See the day, not just the setting

Where can we see real Wilmington weddings?

Use these galleries to compare photographs and decide what you respond to. Venue rental, access and availability are arranged with the venue separately from your photography.

The room & the celebration

Brooklyn Arts Center

Shelbi and Mitch’s gallery includes wider reception views and moments on the dance floor. Use it to talk through the balance between the setting and the people.

Family & playful moments

Fort Fisher

Danielle and Channing’s gallery brings together organized group photographs and quieter portraits. Think about your essential family combinations and time to move between locations.

03 / Make space for your people

How should we plan time for wedding photographs?

Build the photography timeline around your ceremony, venue access and the moments you want covered. Give family photographs and couple portraits their own space, and allow for walking or driving between locations.

  1. Choose the essential moments. Tell me whether preparations, vows, family, dancing or the send-off matter most.
  2. Write your family combinations. Include names and choose someone who can help gather the group.
  3. Pick a few portrait settings. Share photographs you love from the venue galleries so we can plan a manageable route.
  4. Confirm the weather plan. Ask your venue which alternative spaces are approved, then share those arrangements with your photographer.

A real wedding offers ideas, not a schedule every couple must follow. We’ll work around your own plans.

04 / Before you book

A few useful answers.

Does the photography price include the venue?

No. Pink Penguin Studios’ collections cover the photography and video services listed. Venue rental and venue availability are separate. Confirm your venue’s written quote and access window directly with them.

Who photographs and films the wedding?

Glenn moves between photography and video for the photo + video collections. London and Iceland also list a second photographer. Compare the collection details to see which team and coverage are included.

Do we need a call before asking about availability?

No. Send your date and plans through the inquiry form, and Glenn will reply by email. Sending an inquiry does not reserve your date. The collections page explains the contract and retainer required to book.

Can we see more than a few favorite photographs?

Yes. Start with the venue galleries and wedding stories to see different parts of a day. If you want an example closer to your venue or plans, tell Glenn what you’re looking for.

Your date. Your people.

Let’s make a plan
that feels like you.

Share your date, venue if you have one, and the moments you want to remember.
