PRICING GUIDE
Even though I’m biased, I believe choosing your wedding photographer is your most important vendor-decision you'll make. Why? Because your photographer is the only person you hire that will be with you all day long. It’s so important you like them! On an average wedding day, I feel like I’m a therapist, cheerleader, coordinator, drink-getter, bridesmaid, artist, and your photographer. It’s a really unique relationship. More than any other vendor you hire, your photographer has the biggest impact on how your wedding day feels and flows because of what an active role they play! Not to mention, these moments can't be recreated or relived; you need a skilled and experienced professional who can anticipate all those moments and capture them for you (while making sure you have a blast while doing it!).
Here's what I want you to know: I work my butt off to make sure you have the best day ever. I'm all-in: every one of my couples gets everything I have to offer and all my energy and attention. All my experience, knowledge, and expertise of photographing hundreds of weddings, I give to you. From preferred vendor lists to timeline creation to a really fun engagement shoot to coffee (or drink!) dates to help you plan... all I care about is giving you the best damn experience possible and making this process fun and easy for you! Your wedding is a big deal - you deserve to have the most fun ever and have every moment captured well!
*please note I cap the number of California weddings a month, so availability is limited!

ENGAGEMENT SESSION
I love when my couples book engagement sessions because it’s SO great when we can build a relationship before the big day! Being in front of the camera for the first time can feel weird at first, but the engagement session is an awesome time to get to know each other and get you feeling comfortable in front of my camera. Then when the wedding day rolls around we are already bff’s and you feel at ease (plus it’s really fun - I promise - and it’s nice having good photos of you two to enjoy throughout the planning process!).
• These sessions typically last 1.5-2 hours, usually the 2 hours before sunset.
• These sessions result in roughly 150-200 images.
• Regular engagement session price for non-wedding couples range between $950-1500, so this is super discounted for my wedding couples.
Content Creator
Content creators work alongside your photographer (me!) and videographer to create behind-the-scenes footage available instantly. They curate and deliver vertical videos and photo highlights on a cell phone designed for social media storytelling uploaded and available next day, or same day if we use your phone!
Welcome party
This is a special event that is often overlooked when it comes to photography! It's such a fun and laid back event with your friends and family around - and typically it’s the first time you’re seeing everyone so it’s so exciting! Plus you probably put a lot of thought into your outfit and will look amazing. This coverage is really journalistic and laid back as I just capture you guys interacting with your guests (and some portraits if you want!).. Or if you wanted photography coverage of your bridal shower, bachelorette party, or morning-after brunch, the same price structure/timing applies!
‘day after’ portraits
This is a session where you and your boo get dressed up like you did on your wedding day and we have a couples portrait session. This is a fun option if you want to cut down on the portrait time during your actual wedding day, or if you had a special place in mind you wanted to take pictures but it's not feasible on the wedding day. Sometimes this is a nice alternative to a first look–we can even do this before the wedding day! Because who doesn’t want another excuse to get dressed up?!
ADDITIONAL HOURS
When your wedding needs more than 10 hours, or if you want to add one hour to my other packages.
TRAVEL RATES
For domestic travel (outside Southern California), expenses must be covered: flight, two nights lodging, and rental car. If you’re adding rehearsal dinner or morning-after coverage, it would be three nights lodging. Roughly estimate an additional $1000-$1500 to the package price for travel fees. Any wedding that requires getting on a plane and/or stay overnight for two nights is considered travel (anything outside the Pacific Northwest or Southern California).
Wondering if your wedding is considered a destination? Just ask!
• Destination weddings outside the U.S. starts at an additional $1500. Custom destination packages are available on a case-by-case basis and must cover flights, transportation, and three nights lodging.
