Why Our Prices Are What They Are

Above all else, we at Tye Morris Photo want to ensure you have an amazing time with us as well as provide top-notch, exclusive services and a finished product available nowhere else! We also want to ensure we commit to a clear and fair pricing structure which fairly compensates our representatives for their decades of study practice in their craft while still providing you with a finished product that will bring joy to your family for generations, not to mention make all your friends jealous!

Our commitment to not only clarity in our pricing structure, but promptness in service and an outstanding finished product is why expenses such as local travel expenses within the Salt Lake Valley, location scouting expenses, and some regular materials expenses are built into the prices quoted in our pricing structure. As the overwhelming majority of our work is "on location," requiring at least some travel in our personal vehicles, our Pricing Structure also includes expenses such as vehicle maintenance and upkeep, thus ensuring our mode of transportation brings us to your location on time and without incident or delay. Our pricing structure also allows us to make sure the equipment we use to create the art you purchase is always kept in excellent working order and in good repair, as well as ensure it is updated in a timely manner and replaced when needed; the last thing we want is for poorly maintained, poorly performing, or substandard equipment to interfere with your special day!

Our pricing structure is an important part of how we guarantee our punctuality and the quality level of our finished product. Other businesses sometimes choose to cut corners in these areas, but our commitment to quality services and products will not allow for these shortcuts.

Photo Printing Services

We are proud to offer in-house printing services in our very own on-site lab! We can print any size up to A2 (approximately 17” x 22”) on a multitude of paper qualities and styles, including fine art offerings from Hahnemühle!

Our prints are hand adjusted and printed with archival quality pigment inks which provide greater color gamut and spectrum for more vivid colors, unlike the unstable lower-quality dye transfer processes found in most budget/drugstore labs which aren’t as vivid or accurate and fade over time.

Please see our Photo Printing Services page for more details!
