Info & Pricing

 

Smiling bride with glasses holds vibrant multicolored bouquet surrounded by colorful floral arrangements.

In the time I have spent photographing weddings, I can confidently tell you that each couple and wedding is unique, so I believe your photography experience should be too. I work closely with each couple during the inquiry process to curate a custom experience built around your wants and needs and your level of investment.


I have always struggled with my pricing, because I believe every couple should be able to document their wedding day and not sacrifice quality or quantity because of their budget. I'm happy to accommodate a wide range of budgets, while creating an experience that reflects the quality and care that I put into each wedding.


I am only able to take on a limited number of weddings each year, which means dates are reserved on a first come, first served basis.

Day of

The day of your wedding, I will stay as out of the way possible! This helps me capture the day as it unfolds, encouraging more natural interactions and emotions between you and your guests (which is how we get those candid photos!).  Some posed and directed moments throughout the day include your family photos and formal photos as a couple/with your wedding party. My goals to keep you in portraits for as little time as possible, so you can enjoy the day you planned!

2-3 days after

You'll receive a link by email to your preview gallery 2-3 days after your wedding. This will include about 100 photos to hold you over until your full gallery is delivered.

3-4 months after

My turnaround times are an estimate and are subject to change based on the time of year/how busy I am during that particular season. I always notify you by email when I begin working in your gallery. I also update the gallery as I complete the photos, so you don't have to wait until they are all complete to enjoy.
