How your adventure begins:
1. Inquire
Take a peek at my packages listed below for general pricing and to see what’s included in each option. If you feel like we’d be a good fit, please fill out the contact form to inquire. You’ll receive a response from me within 48 hours. From there we’ll schedule a call for us to get to know each other and to chat about your vision for your wedding day. During our call (and at any time!) I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have for me!
2. Book
Yipee! You have chosen me as your photographer to capture and document your wedding day! I'll send over a contract for you both to sign as well as an invoice with a retainer to hold your special date on my calendar. Once everything is signed and I have received your retainer it’s official! Shortly after booking I will send you my wedding guide as well as a questionnaire.
3. Plan
As you plan out your wedding day I am here for you as a resource to assist with things like timeline planning and vendor recommendations as needed! You’re welcome to set up a Zoom call with me to help craft a custom timeline for your day.
4. Your Wedding
The day is finally here and I’m SO excited to be a part of your wedding day! You’ll receive a few sneak peak photos from me within 72 hours of the date of your wedding, because I know how hard it can be to wait to see the photos. Your full online gallery will be delivered within 12 weeks of your wedding day.
My Style
Authentic and Intentional are both words I like to use to describe my style of photography.
I enjoy capturing couples and their wedding days as honestly as possible. My style can also be described as more candid and documentary, but I’m not afraid to step in and direct people with things like posing when needed. I’m also happy to capture “traditional” portraits with friends and family.
If you often feel awkward in front of the camera, no worries! I’ve got you! We all sometimes lock up in front of the camera and have no idea where to put our hands or what to do. I enjoy giving directions that will help you interact with each other, move around and laugh together. I won’t put you into any awkward poses, promise.
My editing style can be described as true to color and a bit more on the moody side. I love working with natural light and very rarely use artificial lighting (flash + external lights), but I do have the equipment if need be.
Why investing in your photographer matters
There are so many benefits to investing in a wedding photographer. It’s not just about showing up the day of your wedding to take the pictures. I want to be sure I document everything from the highlights of the day to the little special moments that usually go unnoticed.
I enjoy chatting with my clients prior to the big day to help with things like vendor recommendations, timeline building and assistance, and anything else that comes up. I also send a couple questionnaires to my clients through out the process so that I’m on the same page and know what their top priorities are when it comes to capturing their day. I want to be sure that we get to know each other at least a little bit before your wedding so that I feel less like a stranger tagging along with you both through out your wedding day. I feel like this also comes through in the images, where they feel less like they were taken from a total outsider perspective, and are more authentic and real.
What if we need engagement photos too?
A discounted engagement session can be added to any of my packages. If you are local to the Portland, OR area I highly recommend my couples to take advantage of this. Why, you may ask? This is for a couple of reasons. First of all I really love to meet the couples I will be photographing before their wedding day. We will have video chats between the time that you book and your wedding day of course, but this isn’t quite the same as meeting face to face. This also allows you both the chance to see how I work behind the camera and gives us the chance to get introductions out of the way. That way when I show up to your wedding day we are already comfortable together and we can jump right into things.
Questions Answered:
-
Feel free to get in touch and this will be one of the first things I’ll help you figure out. There’s a lot of factors that go into planning how much coverage you need and every wedding/elopement is different.
I offer a free consult call before you decide whether you’d like to book or not. This is when we can go over details of your day and I’ll help you pick the right package to fit your needs - you can always add more hours of coverage later in the process as well.
-
Of course! I absolutely love helping couples find the perfect venue or location to exchange their vows. I like to send couples a questionnaire or hop on a phone call to help you dream up a vision for your day. From there I’ll put together and send you both the very best location ideas.
-
Sure do. You’ll gain access to my vendor recommendations list and I’ll be available to craft a custom timeline for your day if need be. Some couples have a coordinator that handles the timeline for the day, but for those that don’t I’m more than happy to help!
-
Depending on the package you book some of my packages include a second photographer. For larger weddings or situations where the bride and groom are getting ready in completely separate locations (not at the venue) then I will often have a second photographer with me.
-
100%! I always shoot with two camera bodies on a harness. I’ve never had a piece of my gear malfunction, but I have a backup on hand in case anything unexpected happens.
-
I’m not anti-Photoshop, BUT I personally want the photographs I capture to be as close as possible to the real memories that are created. I’m happy to do very minor image alterations such as removing a couple pimples, but I personally don’t do any kind of slimming/wrinkle removing/braces/etc.
-
You’ll gain access to an online gallery where you, and if you’d like friends/family, can download your high resolution images or order prints!
-
Of course you can! I include printing rights in all of my contracts.
That being said, not all print shops or websites are going to be equal when it comes to print quality. A lot of places will print things with off colors, greenish or yellow hues, too much contrast, etc. I would hate for a client to receive prints like this, but it does unfortunately happen.
I highly recommend that you order your prints through me if you want to be sure your images come out perfectly and exactly how they’re supposed to. I make this super easy for clients! When you receive your online gallery you’ll have the opportunity to pick which images and what sizes of prints or products you’d like to order.
