UNIQUE WEDDINGS

Welcome to Your Wedding Adventure

Your wedding day is more than a moment—it’s a sacred celebration of your love, a connection to the earth, and the beginning of a shared journey. Here, we honor the magic of the natural world and the authenticity of your bond, crafting an experience as intentional and unique as your relationship.

Planning your wedding with me is like cultivating a wildflower garden—thoughtful, organic, and deeply personal. From the moment you reach out, we’ll create a vision rooted in your story. During our first call, we’ll explore the landscapes that move you, the small details that make your love shine, and the emotions you want to carry through your day. Whether it’s a favorite poem, a shared playlist, or the golden hues of a sunset, these elements will guide us.

Together, we’ll shape your wedding day with care and intention. I’ll help craft timelines that flow as naturally as a river, recommend local artisans and makers who align with your energy, and offer ideas for experiences that deepen your connection—like sharing a meal with a private chef under the stars. Every suggestion will honor your vision and the essence of your love.

When the day arrives, I’ll be more than just your photographer; I’ll be a witness to your story and a creator of heirlooms. Through cinematic photography and video, I’ll capture the raw, unfiltered beauty of your moments—the laughter, the quiet exchanges, the wind in your hair. With the option to include 35mm film, we’ll weave nostalgia into art you’ll treasure for lifetimes.

Whether your love leads you to the misty forests of Oregon, the sun-dappled shores of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, or a hidden gem you’ve yet to discover, I’ll be there. My travel is always included, so your dreams have no boundaries.

Let’s create a day that feels like home—rooted in love, guided by intention, and as wild and beautiful as the earth itself. Your adventure is waiting.

INVESTMENT 2500.00 +

​

Every wedding is unique, and we believe in tailoring our services to fit your individual needs, vision, and budget. This is why all weddings receive custom price quotes, starting at $2,500 (photo or video only.) The starting point reflects the high level of expertise, experience, and personalized attention you will receive throughout the process, from the initial consultation to the final delivery of your beautiful wedding photos and films.

We understand that each couple has different expectations, preferences, and requirements, whether it’s the number of hours of coverage, special requests, or travel logistics. That's why I also offer hourly rates for those looking for flexibility in their packages. My work is not just about showing up on the day of your wedding; it’s about creating a meaningful experience, capturing the essence of your celebration, and ensuring that the final product truly reflects your story.

Since I travel nationwide, I adjust pricing based on location, time, and the level of service needed for your event. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, my goal is to create a wedding photography package that works for you while ensuring you receive the highest quality photos and films.

By providing a custom quote, I can better align with your expectations and ensure that you get the value you deserve, making your wedding day truly unforgettable.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW- ENGAGEMENTS

Every wedding package includes a heartfelt and complimentary engagement session, designed to nurture a connection between us and celebrate your unique love story. After signing the contract and securing your deposit, we’ll start weaving the details together—sharing Pinterest boards filled with natural inspiration, chatting about attire that feels like you, exploring activities that bring you joy, and preparing for an organic, flowy session. There’s no added cost; it’s simply a way to honor this journey together, grounding us in trust and creativity before your wedding day.

Step-by-Step Wedding Planning Checklist

Planning a wedding involves many moving parts. Here’s a step-by-step checklist to guide you through the process:

1. Secure Your Venue

  • Book Early: Popular venues can book up quickly, so start your search as soon as possible.

  • Consider Your Style: Decide whether you want a rustic barn, an elegant ballroom, a cozy backyard, or a natural outdoor setting.

  • Visit in Person: Schedule tours to get a feel for the space and ensure it aligns with your vision.

2. Find Your Vendors

  • Photographer and Videographer: Book a professional who matches your style and captures your day authentically.

  • Catering Team: Decide whether you want a sit-down meal, buffet, or food trucks, and sample menus before choosing.

  • Baker: Find a baker to create your dream cake or dessert table. Schedule a tasting to finalize flavors and design.

  • Florist: Choose a florist who understands your aesthetic. Discuss seasonal blooms and centerpiece ideas.

  • Hair and Makeup Artists (HMUA): Hire professionals who will help you feel confident and radiant. Book a trial session to refine your look.

3. Plan the Reception

  • Entertainment: Book a DJ or live band who can set the tone for your celebration.

  • Decor: Decide on rentals, lighting, and any DIY decorations you’d like to include.

  • Seating Chart: Work with your venue or planner to arrange tables and seating assignments.

  • Favors: Consider personalized favors that guests can cherish as a keepsake.

4. Create a Day-Of Timeline

  • Morning Prep: Schedule hair, makeup, and getting-ready photos with enough time to relax.

  • First Look and Portraits: Discuss a photo schedule with your photographer to capture every moment.

  • Ceremony: Plan for guest arrival, processional order, and any special rituals.

  • Reception: Include time for toasts, dinner, dancing, and any planned surprises.

  • Send-Off: End the night with a memorable farewell, like sparklers or a getaway car.

5. Hire a Day-Of Coordinator

A day-of coordinator ensures everything runs smoothly on your wedding day. They’ll manage the timeline, troubleshoot any issues, and keep things on track so you can relax and enjoy every moment.

Your Photos: Capturing the Day

Photography is one of the most meaningful investments you’ll make for your wedding, as it’s how you’ll remember your day for years to come. Here’s what to expect:

Turnaround Time

Great photography takes time! While editing and perfecting your gallery, I carefully curate each image to ensure it tells your story beautifully.

  • Turnaround Time: All final galleries are delivered within 6-12 weeks.

  • Sneak Peeks: To ease the wait, I provide a selection of 5-10 sneak peek images within 48 hours of your wedding.

Accessing Your Photos

Your final gallery will be delivered through a PASS online gallery—a simple and user-friendly platform. Once your gallery is ready, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to view and download your images.

Saving and Preserving Your Memories

To ensure your memories are safe, I recommend the following:

  • Download All Images: Download your full gallery as soon as it’s ready. Make sure to save the files in multiple locations, such as a hard drive and a USB drive.

  • Print Your Favorites: Digital files are convenient, but prints are timeless. Choose your favorite images to print through a high-quality lab for the best results.

  • Backup: Always back up your files to at least two separate locations to guard against data loss.

Tips for a Relaxing Wedding Day

Your wedding day should be a celebration, not a source of stress. Here are some additional tips to keep you relaxed and present:

  • Delegate Tasks: Let your coordinator, family, or wedding party handle the details.

  • Pack an Emergency Kit: Include items like sewing supplies, snacks, water, and touch-up makeup.

  • Take Breaks: Plan moments to pause and enjoy your partner’s company away from the crowd.

  • Trust Your Team: Lean on the vendors you’ve carefully selected to bring your vision to life.

Enjoying Your Day

Your wedding day is about more than schedules and logistics; it’s about celebrating your love and enjoying the moment. Trust in the team you’ve hired, take deep breaths, and embrace the unexpected. At the end of the day, it’s the moments of connection and joy that will mean the most.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey. I’m here to help capture your memories and ensure your day is as beautiful and relaxing as it deserves to be
