By the hour
Event photoshoot in Antalya
A birthday dinner, a family gathering, an anniversary party or a small celebration at a hotel or restaurant does not run to a fixed length, so it is not priced as a fixed package the way a portrait session is. Event coverage is billed by the hour instead: $100 for the first four hours, then $20 for every additional hour, so a short toast-and-cake evening and a full night of celebration are both covered fairly, and you only pay for the time the event actually runs. Coverage follows the evening as it happens rather than working through a set list of poses, moving between the table, the toasts and whoever is worth catching in the moment. Direction, where it is needed at all, runs in English, Russian or Turkish, and the same booking covers everything from a quiet family dinner to a larger anniversary celebration.

Why an event isn't priced like a portrait session
A portrait session has a clear shape: a set number of locations, a set number of photos, a length that can be planned in advance almost to the minute. An event has none of that. A toast runs long, dinner is served late, the cake gets cut an hour later than planned, or the whole evening wraps up early because everyone is tired from travelling. A fixed package would either cut the coverage off before the evening is actually over, or charge a family dinner the same rate as a full night of celebration. Pricing by the hour solves both problems at once.
The rate itself is simple: $100 covers the first four hours, and every hour after that is a flat $20, so a two-hour family dinner and a longer anniversary party both cost exactly what they should for the time actually booked, with nothing rounded up or estimated in advance.
Coverage itself looks different from a portrait booking too. There is no walk between locations and no directed posing sequence, instead the evening is followed as it happens: the table before everyone sits down, a toast, the cake, the moments in between where people are actually talking rather than posing. A handful of group frames get arranged when it makes sense, a toast or a cake-cutting moment, but most of the coverage stays out of the way rather than interrupting the evening to set up a shot.
This kind of booking suits a wide range of occasions precisely because none of them fit a fixed package well. A birthday dinner at a restaurant, a family gathering marking a reunion, an anniversary party at a hotel terrace, all run on their own schedule rather than a photographer's script, and hourly pricing simply follows whatever that schedule turns out to be on the night.
Booking works the same way as any other session: message Jane on WhatsApp with the date, the venue and roughly how many hours the celebration is expected to run, and the coverage gets planned around that. No payment is needed while the details are still being worked out, only a small deposit once the hours and date are confirmed, with the balance due on the day.

Good questions, honest answers
Why is this priced by the hour instead of a package?
An event does not run to a fixed length the way a portrait session does — dinner runs late, a toast overruns, the evening ends early. Hourly pricing means you pay for the time the celebration actually takes, rather than a package that might cut off too soon or charge for hours you never used.
How does the hourly rate actually work?
$100 covers the first four hours of coverage, and every additional hour after that is a flat $20, agreed and confirmed before the event based on how long you expect the celebration to run.
What kind of events do you cover?
Birthday dinners, family gatherings, anniversary parties and small celebrations at a hotel or restaurant all fit the same hourly rate — anything with a real, planned occasion behind it.
Can we book fewer than four hours?
The first four hours are billed as a single block at $100, whether the celebration runs the full length or wraps up sooner, so a shorter dinner and a four-hour celebration are priced the same.
Is a deposit required, and what languages can coverage be directed in?
A small deposit secures the date and the agreed hours, with the balance due on the day in cash or card. Jane covers every event personally and works comfortably in English, Russian or Turkish.
Event photography in Antalya, priced by the hour
An event photoshoot in Antalya covers the celebrations that do not fit neatly into a fixed-length portrait package: a birthday dinner, a family gathering, an anniversary party, or a small celebration at a hotel or restaurant. None of these run to a predictable length the way a one-hour portrait session does, so rather than force an evening into a package it might not fit, coverage is billed by the hour instead, priced against however long the celebration actually takes rather than a fixed slot decided in advance, weeks before anyone actually knows how the evening will unfold on the night itself, once the guests have all arrived, the toasts have started, and the plans everyone made on paper meet whatever actually happens once the room fills up.
The rate is straightforward: $100 covers the first four hours of coverage, and every additional hour beyond that is billed at a flat $20. That structure means a shorter family dinner and a longer anniversary party both cost exactly what they should for the time actually spent, with nothing estimated or rounded up beforehand, and no pressure to squeeze a celebration into a package length that was never designed to fit it in the first place, whichever occasion is being marked that evening and however many guests are actually there to celebrate it with you, from a quiet table for four to a much larger family gathering that spills across several tables pushed together for the night.
Coverage itself works differently from a portrait booking too. There is no route between locations and no directed sequence of poses to work through stop by stop. Instead, the evening is followed as it unfolds, the table before everyone is seated, a toast, a cake being cut, the quieter conversations in between where the actual celebration is happening rather than being staged for the camera. A handful of arranged group frames get worked in when it makes sense, but most of an event booking stays out of the way rather than interrupting the flow of the night to set up a formal shot every time something worth keeping happens nearby.
This approach suits a wide range of occasions, which is exactly why it is priced the way it is. A birthday dinner at a restaurant table, a multi-generation family gathering marking a reunion, an anniversary celebration on a hotel terrace, none of these run on a photographer's schedule, they run on their own, and hourly pricing simply follows whatever that schedule turns out to be on the actual night rather than dictating it in advance from a fixed list of locations and poses agreed weeks before anyone sits down at the table and the evening properly gets under way, speeches, toasts and all, however the night happens to unfold on the day.
The first four hours at $100 suit most of the smaller celebrations that make up the bulk of these bookings, a dinner, a toast, cake and the conversation around it once the plates are cleared away and the evening starts to settle into something more relaxed. Longer or larger events, a full evening reception at a hotel terrace or a family celebration running well past dinner, simply extend the coverage at $20 per additional hour, agreed in advance once you have a rough sense of how the evening is likely to run from start to finish, so nobody is guessing at the final cost partway through the night once the dancing has already started.
Delivery follows the same standard as every other WeCare Photoshoot booking: a professionally edited gallery, delivered within a week of the event, with full print rights included from the moment it lands in your inbox ready to share with everyone who was there. There is no separate pricing tier for events on top of the hourly rate itself, and no package to select from beforehand, the hourly rate is the whole of it, whether the celebration is a quiet family dinner or a full evening of toasts and dancing that runs well past midnight for everyone still at the table, cake, candles and every last guest still standing by the end.
Booking runs through the same WhatsApp conversation as any other session, usually answered within the hour. Message Jane with the date, the venue and a rough estimate of how many hours the celebration is expected to run, in English, Russian or Turkish, and the coverage gets confirmed around that estimate before the day itself arrives. No payment is required while those details are still being worked out, only a small deposit once the date and hours are agreed, with the balance due on the day in cash or card, once the celebration itself is actually under way and everyone has sat down at the table, ready to enjoy the evening.
