Best Value: The Signature Wedding Package

10 hours - $6500

Second Photographer and 2-hour Engagement Session Included

For those who want the full story, the Signature service provides thorough coverage and a relaxed timeline, giving more breathing room across the day and utilizing a second photographer to navigate multiple locations and capture additional angles. This option is particularly recommended if the ceremony and reception are in different locations or you’ll be getting ready off site. This is the perfect fit for a documentary style approach that also provides room for attention to details, such as editorialized displays of wedding wear, a flat lay or display of invites and special items, floral arrangements, and the settings of the day, and more buffer time in case things don’t always go according to plan. For those focused on enjoying their experience to the fullest and being in the moment, this is a great place to start.

The Essential Wedding Package

8 hours - $4000 ($500/hour)

1 photographer

Engagement Session available as an add-on at a discounted rate

For the low key couple looking for documentation of the primary elements of the ceremony and reception, with perhaps some getting ready photos. The 8 hours of coverage is fully yours to spend on whatever you like, whether that’s bridal party preparations to having first looks, before the full ceremony, having a private, pre-reception couple’s shoot, or planning for an afternoon start time with a recption that runs late. This package is recommended for weddings that have a standard ceremony and reception, centered at one venue and those emphasizing documentary photography coverage, focused on the moments of the day with a few editorial shots here and there of portraits, formal group photos, and not as much interest in details.

The Premium Wedding Package - Full Day

12 hours of coverage - $7500

Second Photographer, 3-hour Engagement Session Included

For the couple pulling out all the stops. In addition to the included 2nd photographer (8 hours), the 12-hours of coverage provides leisurely time to capture a full day of events from the wedding party having brunch, all the way through to the send off or late into the after party. The additional time and extra photographer is particularly beneficial for couples getting ready in different locations, for those choosing to do their portraits offsite, or those invested in capturing the setting and details of the day. This option gives me the most room to be creative, to you to be the most at ease during our portrait sessions, and to have a leisurely experience, where you don’t have to narrow your arrangement of the day to fit into the duration of photography coverage.

The Simple Wedding Package

6 hours - $3000 ($500/hour)

1 photographer

Engagement Session available as an add-on at a discounted rate

For the wedding with a brief ceremony and reception, with minimal focus on preparation, and balancing couple coverage with guests. This package is best for weddings centered at one venue and those with a no-frills approach. Simply capture the moments of the event as they come and maybe sneak away for some quick couples photos and a short list of formal family and group shots. Perfect for those on a budget or preferring a low key experience.

Micro Wedding/Elopements

Starting at 2 hours - $850

($425/hour)

Portraits Sessions:

Engagement or Separate Wedding Portrait Session - Short, Mid, or Long Form (regularly $350/hour)

(30% discount applied when booked with a Wedding or Elopement package)

Engagement Sessions are a perfect opportunity to have magical photos together in your own element at your own pace. Whether they’re used for Save the Dates, Invitations, your Guest Book, or just because, it’s a great opportunity if you want to get to know me a bit and have some “practice” in front of the camera beforehand.

A Wedding Portrait Session before or after your big day, in your wedding wear, can be instead of or in addition to portraits taken on the day. These portraits can be taken before the wedding, so you can have them displayed at or reception or in your guest book, or could be any time after, and can allow to you have photos somewhere scenic, out of reach of your wedding venue, or simply take the pressure off of your day’s timeline. They follow the same pricing scheme as engagement sessions.

Pets are very welcome.

1-hour - Short Form - $350

2-4 hours - Mid Form - Starts at $700

5-8 hours - Long Form - Starts at $1750
