What is your Pricing?
Theee question, am I right?! While every Wedding is unique, most couples choose to spend between $5000-7000 with us, on average, for their Wedding Day Coverage & Engagement Session! We’re here for a good time AND a long time, and are fully committed to giving you our absolute all!
When it comes to how much coverage we may need for your specific day, we ask you to trust us in making our professional recommendation for what will give you the best images and more importantly…the best Wedding Day!
We are also happy to create a customized Collection for in-between hours, multi-day events, and additional photographers.
We offer non-wedding sessions (engagement, portraits, events, anniversaries, etc.) A la carte.
Contact us to inquire about our pricing.
Do you offer other Photography Sessions?
Yes! We love Weddings, but we also love photographing Engagements, Anniversaries, Proposals, Brands, Families, Models, and Events! Inquire about our pricing here.
I’m planning a more intimate affair! Do you photograph Elopements or Small Events?
Absolutely! For more intimate Weddings/Events, we offer customizable coverage and would LOVE to discuss your plans! Depending on the needs of your event, some smaller events/elopements are photographed by one Photographer (either Brandon or Shannon).
How would you describe your style?
Yes yessss! Let’s get into it!!
For our shooting style, we consider ourselves well-rounded, but always lean to the editorial/candid side! From photographing your most precious details and capturing beautiful candids to directing you into natural poses and creating some fierce magazine-worthy looks, we’ve got you covered. We’ve had the privilege of learning from some amazing photographers with varying styles and we apply all we know to capture your unique moments.
Our style is a mix of candid, editorial, and lifestyle photography. We go for images that are chic, full of life, and a little funky!
How many photos will I receive?
Around here, we believe in quality first. However, we also believe in leaving in the “bloopers”. We’ll go through all images and select the best and most flattering ones, as well as joyful candid moments. You’ll probably laugh out loud at some crazy faces on the dance floor that we just can’t leave out!
Our general rule of thumb is that we’ll deliver 35-50 edited images per hour of shooting, but more often than not go over that! There are many factors that determine how many images you’ll receive from us. Rest assured that beautiful poses, candid moments, and all the details will be accounted for!
How will I receive my images?
All collections (unless otherwise noted) come with an Online Gallery available for one (1) year from your final delivery date. They are beautifully organized galleries of your big day that can be shared and downloaded directly to your phone or laptop/desktop! You can also easily order professional prints directly through your gallery!
Do I need a Print Release?
Unless a specialty series (like Boudoir and Mini Sessions), all sessions/Wedding Collections come with a Print Release. This allows you to print from wherever you like, although *not all printers are the same*!
We beggggg you not to print from your local big box store or drugstore. We offer professional printing right through your Online Album, to produce beautiful, heirloom-quality prints that are guaranteed to last decades.
Do you design physical albums?
We LOVE designing albums for our couples! We use high-quality professional printing companies and work with you throughout the design process to be sure what you receive meets your expectations. From mini books to Coffee Table reading to heirloom albums over multiple volumes, it’s imperative to us that we support you in finding tangible ways to pass down and relive your beautiful memories.
But remember, these aren’t your flimsy throw-away albums. They are crafted and printed to stand the test of time to be passed down through generations!
When you’ve been married 50 years, what will you look through? A beautiful album you can touch and hold that serves you with a lifetime of cherished memories you’re able to instantly connect with? Or a social media feed?
How much does an album cost?
For smaller albums that are perfect for Family and Engagement Sessions (awesome for a sign-in option for guests at your wedding!), investment ranges between $500-$2000+.
For larger wedding albums, your investment can range drastically depending on the material, the number of pages, specialty designs, boxes, and typically fall within the $1,200-$4,000 range. Again, keep in mind that this is a lifetime and generational investment, for decades into the future. And you deserve the best!
How do I book?
Step One: Consultation
Our booking process is fairly easy, but we like to be thorough to make sure we’re the best mutual match!
Once you inquire with us, we send over a brief Questionnaire to learn a bit more about you and the big day! Brandon and I LOVE reading your answers, and if we determine that we might be a perfect fit for you, we’ll send over a link to schedule a Call/Zoom with us!
After we chat, if you and we both still think we’re a match made in Wedding Photographer heaven, we’ll create a sample Timeline for you to determine exactly how much coverage is perfect for your day!
We find that couples almost always need more time than they think, and while we work efficiently, the last thing we want is for you to be checking your watch on a day when you should be fully engaged in each moment. We keep this in mind and recommend coverage based on your preferences, adding in buffers for those times things run behind. And yes, there is something that runs behind at every. single. Wedding.
Our favorite amount of coverage time tends to be 10 hours, but every day is different! We find that most Wedding Days need somewhere between 9-11 hours of coverage.
Step Two: Confirm your Coverage
After we have sent over our recommendations, we’ll break everything down and will include a quote for the coverage we are recommending! Once you have time to review and are ready to make it OFFICIAL :), we’ll send over your first invoice and our agreement via email! Both can be signed/paid online, and you are welcome to download copies of all for your records!
Step Three: Pay Invoice
Once the first invoice has been paid and the agreement has been signed, we’re all yours!!
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! Depending on how far your Wedding is booked out, we offer multiple payment arrangement options for you to choose from.
You’re a bit out of our price range, BUT we love your style! HELPPPP!
When you reach out to us, let us know of the rest of your Wedding Day style and details!! If you’re getting hitched at a dream location of ours, having a Wedding out of country, a super unique day planned, or have incredible style, WE STILL WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Do you offer custom pricing?
Absolutely, and we actually prefer it!!
Do you want it all, and don’t want to have to calculate? Let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll create a customized proposal for you to review. For example, do you want an Engagement Session, Boudoir Session, Rehearsal Dinner Coverage, Wedding Day Coverage, AND an Album all included in one proposal? Done and done. Just let us know and we’ll take the guesswork out of it and present a fully realized solution!
What do you shoot with?
We love Nikon, and shoot with Nikon gear. We are currently shooting on Nikon’s new mirrorless system, and have lenses that range from 24mm-200mm. Everything we need to fully capture every moment of your day. And we are constantly upgrading! We carry multiple lenses and camera bodies at all times in case a backup is needed!
How do you back up our photos?
We shoot with two memory cards in our cameras at all times, and keep your images stored in multiple places until they have been fully delivered to you! You will still want to download your images in multiple places for yourself once delivered, but technology can fail or become obsolete…which is why we still recommend getting with us on designing a Wedding Album for you!
Do you provide the RAW files?
No, we do not ever provide RAW files to clients. The images you will receive will be edited Jpegs, downloadable at high resolution.
What do I wear/Where should we shoot for our Engagement Session?
This is where we ask you to trust us! Once your Session is booked, we’ll send over some questions to help us determine the types/styles of locations that speak to you! From there, we’ll discuss timing, wardrobe, hair/makeup, and all the little things that will make your session a gorgeous success!
But if we can give a piece of advice…whenever our couples truly trust in us and give us plentyyyy of information to go on, we create some pretty epic sessions!! So as we say in our sessions for those perfect, laughy moments…just go with it!!
