Irvington studio publishing $3,900 starting packages with six hours of coverage, a proof book and a USB, second shooter extra.
Packages start at $3,900 on the studio’s own site, and it says what that buys. The entry package holds an engagement session and six hours of coverage. An online gallery, a printed proof book and a custom USB of high resolution printable files come with it. Six hours is the number to look at twice. A Westchester wedding that starts with hair and makeup and ends with a send off rarely fits inside it. The second shooter is a paid add on rather than standard, and deluxe albums and parent albums are extras too. The studio works from Irvington and its portfolio names Lyndhurst Estate, Tappan Hill Mansion, Tarrytown House, Castle Hotel & Spa, Sleepy Hollow Country Club and Harvest on Hudson. We read the Westchester page on 11 September 2026.
The $3,900 is first party and clearly itemized, which is unusual and helpful. It is still an entry figure built on six hours with one photographer. Price your actual timeline instead. Get the cost of running past six hours in writing, along with the second shooter charge and the deluxe and parent albums. Confirm the delivery window in weeks and the image count, then check whether the printable files carry a print license.
The Westchester wedding photographer page at poppystudio.com, including its package and venue listings, read on 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.
Six hours of coverage will not reach from hair and makeup to a late send off at most Westchester weddings, and both overtime and a second photographer are billed on top.
Coverage that starts at the end of hair and makeup and runs to the first dance is roughly six hours. Add a church ceremony and a drive between sites, and the day runs longer. A cocktail hour and a late exit push it further still.
Get the price of a seventh hour in writing before you sign. Then build your timeline and count the hours honestly, because that is where the $3,900 stops being the price.
Settle when the six hours are counted from. Some studios start the clock on arrival. Others start at the first frame, or at a time named in the contract whatever actually happens. Get the start time and the end time written into the agreement, in hours, rather than left to memory.
The second shooter is listed as an add on. For a wedding where the couple get ready in separate places, that is close to a requirement rather than a luxury.
Ask what the add on costs and when the second photographer arrives and leaves. Their files should be edited to the same standard and delivered in the same gallery, so confirm both.
A printed proof book and a USB of high resolution printable files both come in the entry package. Many studios charge for either.
Confirm the size and page count of the proof book and the resolution of the files. Ask whether printing rights are included, since a printable file is useless if the license says otherwise.
Work out how long the online gallery stays live and what happens when it expires. A USB is a physical object that ends up in a drawer, and drives fail. Work out whether the studio keeps a backup of your files, and for how long, so you know when the responsibility becomes entirely yours.
Every room on that portfolio list sits inside the county or on its river edge, from Lyndhurst and Tappan Hill down to Harvest on Hudson.
When your venue is among them, ask to see a full gallery from that room rather than a highlight set. It is the fastest way to judge how someone handles a space you have already booked.
