What to expect on your wedding day
You won't see me hauling around big lights and equipment, or interrupting a precious moment to get the "perfect" shot. Part of my process as a wedding photographer is essentially being invisible during your wedding day. This means working with natural light, capturing candid moments, only a few posed photos and prompts throughout the day. No interrupting special moments, no forced or fake moments. Only the genuine, beautiful, perfectly imperfect.
Your gallery will consist of a combination of candid and genuine moments, with a sprinkle of posed or prompted photos throughout the day. As a photographer, it is my job to document the day, not control it.
A luxury experience for the laid back lovers who find beauty in the perfectly imperfect.
All wedding packages include:
-
Complimentary engagement session
-
Optional itinerary planning assistance
-
Coffee meet-ups (my treat!) to go over wedding details
-
Online gallery to share and download high resolution photos from
-
Wedding gift, with a keepsake flash drive loaded up with all your wedding photos
On average, couples invest $3,000 to $4,000 for their wedding day package.
No two weddings are the same, and your day is a beautiful and unique experience that may have different needs from another. Fill out the contact form, and we'll hop on a call to identify what your needs are and go over pricing!
Larson-Paulson Wedding
“Maddie did our engagement photos and our wedding photos, she is the absolute best to work with! Checked with us nonstop to make sure she was capturing everything we wanted. She is easy to communicate with and so helpful for people who are terrible at taking pictures (me). I haven’t received my wedding photos yet considering I got married yesterday but I already received some gorgeous sneak peeks literally only a few hours after she left! But if the rest of my photos are anything like my sneak peeks and my engagement photos, I know they’re going to be amazing. I recommend her 1000%.”
Interested in booking?
Here's how it works:
01
Fill out the contact form here
You will receive an email back within 24 hours to go over basic wedding details and set up a call to identify your needs and ensure we are a good fit. After our call you will receive an email with your custom wedding packages to choose from.
02
Once you choose your package, I will send over a booking link that contains a contract, invoice, and questionnaire. Once these items are ticked off, you are officially booked! *Cue happy dance*
03
Next we will set up your engagement session. During this time you will get some guides from me via email, such as outfit guides, itinerary planning tips, etc.
04
In the time between your engagement session and your wedding, we will meet up for coffee (or tea/drinks) 1-2 times to go over final wedding day itinerary, shot list, etc. You are free to email me at any time during this process, from booking to wedding day, if you have any ideas, questions or concerns. After this step, all that's left is to say "I do"!
What if I don't need engagement photos?
4 Reasons Why You Need An Engagement Session With Your Wedding Photographer
01
Form a Friendship
Your photographer is going to be there with you for every moment of your big day. They will capture your special moments, advocate for you, and do their best to make your photography dreams come true. You don't want a stranger in that position. Taking the time to shoot engagement photos allows you to see their personality, create memories and for some people, even make a new friend out of their photographer. Just about every wedding that made my favorites list were ones that I took engagement pictures for as well. You really are hiring more than just a photographer, you're forming a friendship.
02
Check The Vibe
As cringe as it may sound, you may not vibe with your wedding 'tog. Having the chance to work with them and capture some photos gives you the opportunity to see if you actually like their business personality. I can't tell you how many people I've heard claim they didn't like their last photographer because their personality was cold or they were rude. You want to vibe with your photographer, not dread the thought of having them by your side all day. Be open and honest with the feedback you give your vendors. And if in the end you don't think it's a good fit, maybe it's time to find a different photographer. *Psssst this goes for you too, wedding 'togs. It's okay to cancel contracts and refund if it's a bad fit. Some red flags are best listened to.
03
Free. Photos.
As of 11.16.23 all wedding bookings will come with a free engagement session. I used to upsell and charge for the addition of engagement photos, but it just didn't sit right. As a photographer, I see the importance of getting to know my clients and taking the time to really form a bond ahead of the wedding date. It's because of this (Also cost of living, yikes.) that I've decided to add engagement sessions as a part of my regular wedding packages. I want to get to know you. I want to be more than a stranger taking pictures on your wedding day.

MORE Photos
"Yeah, but we already took engagement photos." Congrats, you get more! Every photographer has different style than the next. My engagement photos won't look the same as the last. Now you get more photos, different poses, different editing style. And this way, you get to know your wedding photographer.
