CUSTOM +


"IT'S NOT ABOUT TIMELINES OR PACKAGES. IT'S ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOURS IS EVERYTHING YOU EVER DREAMED IT WOULD BE. IT SHOULD BE TAILORED AND CUSTOM TO YOU! I CARE ABOUT YOUR STORY AND HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE REMEMBERED, SO LET'S DO THIS THANG TOGETHER AND MAKE SOME MAGIC HAPPEN! "





"Packages" blah blah blah



I hate packages.. and so should you.


Wedding packages = marketing 101 on how to make more money as a vendor and I have chosen a different path! That's not my heart towards you as my clients and I hate starting a convo off with "well let's talk about how much you're going to pay me and that will dictate the level of service we'll provide".. ??? NOPE, no thank you. You should never have to feel like you need to pay more to get what you honestly deserve from your wedding photog in the first place.


So I don't do them..


I exclusively offer an all inclusive type "package" only.


This includes:


  • CUSTOM TIMELINE DEVELOPMENT to help you get the ball rolling. Every conversation you have with vendors down the road will be infinitely easier once we've done this! This equals LESS STRESS..
  • A KILLER ENGAGEMENT SHOOT somewhere dope that feeds your soul and inspires your imagination.
  • DAY OF COORDINATION ASSISTANCE with my team keeping the trains running on time. Someone needs to do it and it should NOT be you! Plus we bring comms and look like secret service agents so your guests will be impressed.
  • MINIMUM TWO PRO PHOTOGRAPHERS that will capture every detail that you've put thought and intention towards to fully capture the story of your wedding day.
  • FULL DAY COVERAGE No charging by the hour here. My job is to tell your story and I wouldn't be a great story-teller if I missed the beginning or end!!
  • A TON OF GREAT PHOTOS so that when you swipe through your gallery it takes you back to relive every moment of the big day. So we deliver a ton. 500+
  • A FULL CUSTOMIZED DIGITAL GALLERY that you can easily access, download photos from, create favorite folders to share with and a print store attached for ease of production!! (Also, I give my cost back to you here in the store. I'm not trying to make more money from you this way and hopefully you can save a couple bucks!
  • A QUICK TURNAROUND TIME I deliver not just sneak peaks but full highlight gallery within a week of your wedding and have a 4-6 week turnaround on your full wedding gallery!
  • A NEW BESTIE FOR LIFE You're not just my clients, you're my friends. I want to make this experience an easy one when it comes to planning, flows, timelines and due dates. If you need me ever you can call, text, video chat, whatever! I'm always accessible. And when we're done we're going to be friends and I will take care of you in all future seasons of your life together.


Lets do this!

We'll set up a quick video chat so I may answer any questions you have and ask a few of my own.
