Luxury Photography, Transparent Pricing
packages & pricing
KEEP SCROLLING FOR SPECIFIC PACKAGES & PRICING
Photography is both a luxury service and an art, but I also believe in being transparent and upfront about my pricing. As someone planning to start a family and begin a new chapter with my own partner, I’m especially aware of the extensive research that goes into planning a wedding... that's why I make my prices clear from the start.
Although I offer affordable options, I bring a white-glove approach to every wedding and elopement. I believe everyone deserves high-quality storytelling from their special day without breaking the bank. Wedding packages range from $1,500 to $4,500, depending on factors like hours of coverage and package inclusions like heirloom albums.
Open to Travel Within the United States
I’m excited to announce that I’m now opening my books to include destination weddings anywhere in the United States! Whether you're tying the knot in Charleston, the streets of New York City, or the beaches of Hawaii, I’m here to capture your love story in any setting you choose. Let’s plan your dream destination wedding and create memories that transcend time and place.
Travel fees are included in my price list. I’ll work closely with you to ensure transparency and provide a clear breakdown of any adjustments as we finalize your plans.
Deposit Information
A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your wedding date for all packages. This amount is applied toward your total package cost and credited to your final payment. The deposit not only reserves your wedding weekend but also covers essential preparations, such as travel arrangements, administrative tasks, and hiring a second photographer if needed. By taking care of these details in advance, I ensure that your day is captured flawlessly and stress-free.
Inclusivity
Love is love, and every story deserves to be told. I am a proud LGBTQ+ friendly photographer, and my mission is to create a welcoming and affirming space for all couples. Whoever you are and whoever you love, know that you are celebrated here.
Coverage Guide
Choosing the right amount of coverage for your wedding day is essential to ensuring that every cherished moment is captured without feeling rushed or staged. With years of experience, I’ve found that starting with a base of 10 hours provides the perfect balance to document your day fully and authentically.
Here’s a look at what a typical 10-hour timeline (my Signature Package, the most popular) might include:
Getting Ready: Candid and detailed shots as you prepare for your big day.
First Look or Pre-Ceremony Moments: Intimate and emotional moments shared between you and your partner.
Ceremony: Capturing every vow, tear, and smile.
Family Formals: Timeless photos with loved ones to treasure forever.
Reception: From first dances to speeches and unforgettable party moments.
Additional Coverage
Consider extending your coverage to 12 hours if:
- You have multiple locations requiring travel time.
- Your guest list includes a larger family or friend group that will need more formal photos.
- You’d like after-party moments or a send-off captured.
Understanding your coverage needs is key to crafting a stress-free and seamless experience. Together, we’ll ensure that no special moment is overlooked. The result? A beautifully curated gallery that allows you to relive your wedding day for years to come.
