Hudson Valley photographer and filmmaker of over a decade, with a Whitby Castle wedding on file and no published pricing.
Lin Pernille Photography states over a decade of shooting on its own site and runs photography and filmmaking out of the same studio, so one booking can cover both. We came to this vendor through a Westchester wedding: a full post on a celebration at Whitby Castle in Rye, which is the county work we can point to. The base is the Hudson Valley and no town is named on the site. The service area is given as New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, with travel beyond that. What we could not find was a number. No collection price, no starting figure, no hourly rate, nothing on the pages we read. For a studio selling luxury weddings and proposals alongside the filmmaking, that silence is a choice. It means the first quote sets the range.
Nothing published means the enquiry is the only source of a number, and there is no second figure anywhere to check it against. Ask for photography and film priced separately as well as combined. The hours in each collection matter, along with whether a second shooter is included. Then get the delivery timeline for the gallery and the film, and the travel cost to your venue in dollars.
The Whitby Castle wedding post on linpernille.com. Checked September 2026. First party means the business’s own site or rate card. Marketplace means The Knot, WeddingWire, Zola, Wedding Spot or similar. Nothing here is averaged or estimated.
The base is somewhere in the Hudson Valley rather than Westchester, and no pricing is published at all.
Booking a photographer and a videographer separately means two contracts and two teams. It also means two people trying to stand in the same spot during the first look. A studio running both under one roof sorts that out internally.
It also concentrates risk in one vendor and makes the quote harder to unbundle. Ask for photography priced alone and film priced alone, then ask what the combined number is. The gap between them is what the convenience costs you.
The post we read covers a wedding at Whitby Castle in Rye. Whitby is a county venue with a specific set of problems for a photographer: stone interiors, a golf course view and light that moves fast late in the afternoon. Having a full wedding from those rooms on file is useful information.
For a venue elsewhere in the county, ask for a complete gallery from something comparable. Whether the studio has worked with your venue’s coordinator before is worth knowing as well.
One Westchester post is one Westchester post. It proves the studio has shot in the county without showing how often. Check how many county weddings they took last season and which venues those were. The month of each is worth having too.
The site gives the Hudson Valley as a base without naming a town, and publishes no figure anywhere we looked. Neither omission is unusual at the upper end of this market, where pricing is handled by enquiry. Both make comparison harder for a couple working to a budget.
Ask for every collection priced, with the hours in each. Find out whether a second shooter and a filmmaker are included or extra. The delivery timeline for the gallery and for the film comes next, then the travel cost to your venue. That last one depends on the base town, which is why you need the town first.
Luxury is a positioning word, and it usually means the floor is high. Find out the lowest number the studio will book a Westchester Saturday at, and what that number leaves out. If the answer arrives without a figure attached, that is your answer for now.
