THE Wedding EXPERIENCE
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina with travel worldwide
Welcome!
You're either here because you've found your forever love or simply adore beautiful pictures... Either way you've found the perfect spot – I'm thrilled you've joined us!
Did you know that most couples spend just as much time with their photographer on their wedding day as their soon to be spouse?
That is why it is so important to choose someone who fits You and Your Personalities.
We believe photographs should be Stress Free, and yes - even Fun!
We use a variety of prompts and poses to make photo taking easy and Enjoyable while capturing Raw Emotions and Love.
We believe in capturing your Legacy for years to come.
I have a bubbly personality, I know when I need to get down to business (and tell uncle Jerry it's time for family photos-not the bar) but I also love to laugh and enjoy the day with my couples. Your wedding day is a Celebration of Love and should be treated that way.
The Investment
With years of experience we've realized our non-negotiables when it comes to properly capturing your wedding day. That's why all of our packages include:
-
At least 6 hours of coverage - Anything less doesn't allow us to capture the full story of your day. We want to capture those dreamy detail shots to magazine-worthy wedding portraits and all of the candids between.
-
All of your final images - This includes a custom, shareable, online viewing gallery to share your images with friends and family; high-resolution digital images with immediate online download and printing options; and digital and printing rights for all images.
-
A complimentary engagement shoot - Not only will this ensure beautiful save-the-dates but it's the best way for me to get to know you both and help to get you comfortable in front of the camera. This way, it feels like your friend is showing up to capture your wedding day instead of a photographer you've never met. We will also help train you in posing so your worries about wedding day photography can melt away.
-
Timeline assistance - We strive to create a photography timeline that allows us to capture stunning portraits of the two of you as well as all of the events and details of your day in an efficient way so that you can actually enjoy your day and spend time with your loved ones.
-
Posing & Direction - We know that most of our couples aren't professional models, and we love that! It's our job to pose you in flattering ways and help you feel more comfortable. We use a mix of candid images as well as prompts and poses to help all of our couples capture romantic images with authentic emotions and love.
-
Timeless editing style - Editing trends come and go. I you to be enjoy your photos for years to come. That's why I strive to edit in a timeless way that never goes out of style.
Starting at $3,100
Our couples have put in so much time and energy to create their dream wedding that's why we don't settle for a few snapshots - We strive to capture your love story and your legacy that will be passed down through the generations.
The Process
STEP ONE:
LET'S BE Friends!
We want your wedding day to fit you and your partner's personalities and visions perfectly, that's why choosing a photographer is no small decision. Before you book we will schedule a free personal consultation via a coffee date, email, text, call, or Zoom (whatever works best for you!) to see if we are a good fit together. I want to get to know the details of your wedding, your needs, & most importantly, you!
Frequently Asked
Questions
Describe your Style of photography.
I use various prompts and poses to capture authentic emotions throughout the day. My goal is to tell the story of your day starting from those dreamy detail shots all the way to the poppin' dance floor. I edit in a bright and timeless style so your photographs will last through the ages. I edit all of my photos to my timeless style with some light retouching. I do not heavily retouch skin or bodies. If you do have a few photos that you would like retouched, I have separate pricing per photograph at request.
Will you help with our Timeline?
Once you've booked, I will send you my personal wedding day tips and tricks that I have gathered throughout the years! In this package I have details on how to create a Wedding Day timeline. Once you know how you want your day planned out, send me over your Wedding Day timeline and I can create a photography timeline based on that. If you need more help, we can also plan a meeting to go over your details!
What is your Flow like on the day of the wedding?
I wear many hats on the wedding day. When it is time for portraits, I am very detailed and help my couples to pose. I also have prompts to capture raw emotions. During family photos I am authoritative and make sure we stay on schedule. But during times where you are just enjoying the day with each other and your guests, I am more of a fly on the wall, capturing candid moments and the details of your day.
When will we get the photos?
I give all of my couples a small highlight gallery within 72 hours of their wedding so they can share them with family and friends! My full-gallery delivery time is at-most 12 weeks during busy season.
How do you Choose what photos we receive? Do you send raw photos?
When going through your photos, I choose only the most flattering, best lit, beautiful images to process for you. We take out photos with eyes closed, hair blowing in your face, etc. We never give out raw images as they are large files that have not been processed and therefore do not showcase our final product.
Do you Retouch your images?
I make sure all of my images fit my timeless style. I will also do light retouching but do not heavily edit skin or bodies. If you do have a few photos that you would like retouched, I have separate pricing per photograph at request.
Do you charge a Travel fee?
Nope! We love traveling so much that we want to make it easy for you to book us anywhere in the world! We have a rate for anywhere in the United States and a rate for anywhere in the world!
How will we Receive our final images?
We deliver our photographs in personalized online album that you can download and share with friends and family. This album also includes a print store where you can order high-quality, color-accurate prints and various canvases. We also offer custom wedding printed wedding albums made to order.
Can we Request specific shots?
Yes - While there may be some things out of my control, I always do my best to help my couples capture their dream shots. I even encourage my couples to send me their inspo photos so I can add them to my shot list for the day!
How do we Book?
In order to reserve your date, we require a 30% retainer and signed contract. The rest is due one month before the wedding date. Our contracts and payments are all done on our safe and secure HoneyBook portal where we will also keep your wedding details, questionnaires, and other files for you to view when you'd like. Payments can be made with all major credit or debit cards. We also offer custom payment plans at request.
