Wedding & Elopement Packages
DOCUMENTING YOUR LOVE STORY,
CAPTURING THE CANDID AND ROMANCE.
Every couple is unique, with unique needs. I know this is (usually) your first time getting married, so I understand how to tailor my offerings to your wedding vision, and provide guidance on what you may not realize you need.
Some require coverage over a period of a couple days, or would like the convenience of a customized album created by me. Depending on what the vision is for the wedding day, each couple will have services tailored to them.
All packages are a baseline, please inquire as my collections are custom to each couples needs.
This will include attention to timeline, travel, engagement sessions, and details about the final deliverables for your specific event.

What Sets
Me Apart
There are nuances to being a wedding photographer; The experience I have gained from years of shooting benefit you and solve problems you didn't know you might have:
Understanding family dynamics, working well as a team with your other vendors to make the experience flawless, anticipating poignant moments, knowing when to step in and guide, and when to fade into the background.
It also includes taking time to reposition my subjects to be in the most flattering light, making decisions on the fly to achieve the best results for your imagery. There is much deliberate thought and planning before the wedding day that I will do with you to ensure that each part of the day is documented beautifully and naturally.
My Style + Approach
I approach the wedding day from my couples heart and eyes - what would be important to them to reflect on?
What are the memories that they might wish they could re-live? I believe in capturing the candid, and the authenticity and reality instead of just pretty pictures; but we do both!
I love to learn about each client's vision for what they want to remember on their wedding day, what is most important, and who are the people who are the most important. All of this information allows me to document sentimental moments and look for the touches, glances, and interactions that mean the most.
I seek for what feels dreamy, and romantic, It is the main essence for my love for authentic and editorial art that comes together in a very documentary approach and shapes my photography style.
I like to think it is "chic editorial meets photojournalism."
I love answering questions and making sure you feel secure and safe with me as your photographer and liaison. There are so many great photographers out there, but one of the most important parts is choosing one you feel comfortable with.
How does it work?
The Initiatial Process
1) Setting up a call with me just to chat and get to know each other. I would love to hear about your vision and offer the best solution for what you need.
2) Working together is easy, once we decide we want to work together, I send an email with all the pertinent information to get your date secured.
3) Afterwards we can schedule your engagement session, plan for a venue walk through, or I can start working with your wedding planner to make this a fun and easy process.
FAQs
THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME AND YOU WONDER WHAT TO EXPECT, WHAT DOES A PHOTOGRAPHER ACTUALLY PROVIDE, AND WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE WORKING WITH ME. WELL I'VE GOT YOU COVERED.
Do you have preferred vendors you trust?
Yes I do! Please see my list here.
I have a selection of vendors to cover all your basis, from simple elopements, to large scale wedding days.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Oregon but am always down to travel. I spend quite a bit of time on the Oregon coast or in the mountains of Southern Oregon every year and am always happy to capture couples anywhere. Mexico, Greece or Italy anyone?
What is your turnaround time?
In peak wedding season it is 10-12 weeks for weddings and a 4-6 weeks for an engagement session. I take my time on each photo and edit a little differently from other photographers, adding my special sauce to my photos. :)
How do payments work?
Upon signing a contract with me, a non-refundable retainer of 50% is due with the remaining balance due a 1-4 weeks before the wedding date. I prefer to not take the remaining balance until then.
Can you edit or photoshop us?
Aside from my normal edits, I do not do any commercial level retouching. I am a documentarian by nature and edit out slight blemishes or odd things out of the background of an image. If you prefer heavy editing that can be arranged for an additional fee.
How do travel expenses work?
I will add the fee into the total cost of my package and arrange for flights and booking myself. There are instances in which flights or hotels need to be changed and I don’t want my couples having to worry about doing that for me.
Do you help in the planning process?
100% yes! I know what makes a good photograph and what kind of logistical and aesthetic issues might arise. I am here to help you execute your vision. Period.
I collaborate with all of the vendors involved and believe we are working as a team to make sure you and your partner have the best day ever. I have seen so many weddings that I am happy to advise and give you all the help necessary.
I am NOT a wedding planner by any means, I just help to facilitate, if you are wanting a more hands off approach to your day, I have wonderful planners I highly recommend!!
What do we wear for engagement photos?
I’ve got you! I have an entire Pinterest board and color pallet recommendations depending if you want to go more glam or more casual. Typically neutral color palettes are best. Blues, beige, mauves, black and white are always going to look amazing. Avoid logos or distracting patterns.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule?
That is okay! It happens! If you have to cancel your wedding completely, remember that the retainer is non-refundable but is transferable if you decide to book me at a later date. This is transferable only one time. If you have to reschedule, let me know in writing or via phone call at least a week ahead of time for couples sessions.
For weddings, I need to know 6 months in advance.
