Chappaqua photographer with June and October weddings at Crabtree’s Kittle House, publishing no prices at all.
Mikkel Paige Photography is based in Chappaqua, which puts the studio a short drive from Crabtree’s Kittle House, a venue that appears repeatedly in the work. We read a June wedding at that address on 11 September 2026, and the site carries an October one as well. Two seasons in the same room is a useful signal, because a June reception and an October dinner are different lighting problems. The site also runs a dedicated albums section in its navigation, which means the printed product is sold as its own line rather than tacked onto a package. Pricing does not appear. No package figure, no hourly rate, no album cost, nothing.
Neither the studio nor any marketplace listing in our record carries a figure, so there is nothing to budget from. The Chappaqua base should keep county travel simple, and that still needs confirming in writing. Ask for a package sheet stating hours and photographer count. The delivery window in weeks and the album price list go in the same paragraph of the contract. Price an extra hour on the same sheet.
The June wedding post at Crabtree’s Kittle House on mikkelpaige.com, read 11 September 2026. 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.
Not one figure appears anywhere on the studio’s pages, first party or otherwise.
Chappaqua to a northern Westchester venue is a short run, which removes the travel-day logistics that out-of-county studios have to price. It does not automatically mean a lower quote. Establish whether any travel charge applies inside the county, and get the answer in writing. Local is a marketing word until it has a dollar attached.
The bigger benefit is the repeat venue. A photographer who has shot the same room in June and in October has seen it in both light conditions and knows the timeline it imposes. Ask which other Westchester venues the studio has worked, and how recently.
The site gives albums their own section, so treat the album as a separate purchase from the start. Settle what the base album costs and how many spreads it includes. An extra spread and a parent copy each carry a price of their own. Studios that sell albums seriously usually have a price sheet ready to send.
Albums also carry the longest lead times in the business. Design rounds, your revisions and the printing itself all happen after the gallery is delivered. Settle how many revision rounds are included, and what the whole timeline looks like from gallery to a finished book in your hands.
We looked at the Crabtree’s Kittle House June wedding post and found no figures. We found no starting price, no hourly rate and no second shooter fee anywhere on it. There is no marketplace figure in our record either, so we have nothing to print. The albums section is the closest the site comes to a product list, and even that carries no numbers.
Get a written package sheet with hours and photographer count on it. The delivery timeline and the album pricing belong beside them. If the studio quotes you by phone, have them send the same number by email before you sign anything.
The second shooter arrangement matters too. A studio shooting a large wedding still needs a second camera at the ceremony, and whether that person is included or added changes how this compares against every other quote you are holding.
