FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE PRICING THAT'S HIDDEN BEHIND A PHONE CALL.
No games. No guessing. Just numbers.
Most couples invest around $6,750.
Packages start at $5,500 for day-of coverage, and scale up to $7,495 for full weekend storytelling — engagement session, welcome party, and album included.
You've probably had a vendor make you feel small for asking about cost. I won't be that.
8 hours of coverage, 2 photographers.
Calm coverage with confident direction — for the day itself, nothing extra.
THE COLLECTIONS
These are starting points, not one-size-fits-all — every proposal is built around your actual day.
what I recommend for full-day coverage
9 hours of coverage, 2 photographers, full engagement session, film cocktail hour experience.
A trial run before the big day — you'll know exactly how it feels to be photographed together before it counts.
10 hours of coverage, 2 photographers, engagement session + social hour, welcome party coverage, film + album.
The full weekend — polished, complete, and handled.
WHY COUPLES CHOOSE ME OVER SOMEONE CHEAPER
Cheaper usually means presets and batch-editing. I hand-edit every frame myself. Thirteen years in, fine art trained, and still the one touching every image before it reaches you.
Cheaper usually means a gallery link and nothing else. I build in a real, printed album — something your grandkids can hold, not a hard drive that dies in ten years.
Cheaper usually means one photographer instead of two — which means someone's missing your first kiss, your dad's toast, or the moment your mom sees you for the first time. I don't gamble with that. Every wedding gets two shooters, no exceptions.
I also cap myself at 15 weddings a year. Not because I have to — because a couple who books me gets my full attention, not a queue.
Thirteen years in — here's what things cost, and why.
