Before You Choose

How Couples Usually Decide

Coverage Length

How much of the day should be photographed — just the ceremony and portraits, or the full arc from getting ready through the celebration?

Guest Count

Larger celebrations often benefit from additional coverage, simply so every introduction and toast has room to be captured.

Events Beyond the Wedding Day

Rehearsal dinners, brunches, and destination weekends may call for more than wedding-day coverage alone.

Wedding Story Collection

Some weddings are more than a single day. They bring together family and friends from across the country, span multiple events, and deserve a level of coverage that allows every chapter of the story to be preserved.

The Wedding Story Collection is our most comprehensive experience — built for the whole weekend, not just the day. It begins the evening before with your rehearsal dinner, carries through 10+ hours of the wedding day itself, and continues into the next-morning farewell brunch, when the celebration softens and the goodbyes happen. With a second photographer, album design, and the room to capture every chapter, nothing is missed and nothing is rushed. Decades from now, these photographs won't simply remind you what happened. They'll remind you how it felt. Some celebrations deserve more than coverage. They deserve a legacy.

A Few Ways Couples Build on Their Collection

Not upsells — enhancements couples often choose once they know what their day needs.

Engagement Session

A relaxed session before the wedding that helps your portraits feel effortless — and gives us a chance to work together before the big day.

Second Photographer

Included in Signature and Wedding Story, and available to add to Essential — a second perspective so separate getting-ready spaces, the ceremony, and the reception are all covered at once.

Rehearsal Dinner Coverage

For couples who want the toasts and the gathering the night before preserved with the same care as the wedding day itself.

Wedding Albums

A printed, heirloom-quality album designed from your gallery — something to hold, not just scroll through.
