Wedding and Elopement Photography Services & Pricing
Photography gives me a view into those sacred, fleeting pieces of life — where love lives unfiltered, and stories are preserved with intention.
Nostalgia lives in the little moments — The cotton candy skies that replaced the predicted downpour. The way laughter and hairspray filled the air as your closest people circled you in love. The calm that settled over your chest when your sister-in-law curled your hair while you sipped your coffee — not worried about looking perfect, just ready to marry your person.
It’s in the way your dad looked at you with unshakable pride. The nerves that fluttered when you turned the corner toward a field full of the people who shaped you. And then, in an instant, everything else disappeared. Like you were underwater — a tunnel straight to your love. His eyes. His presence. That moment when forever quietly began.
My work is rooted in feeling, not formulas. I believe in creating space where you can slow down, soak it all in, and remember not just how your day looked — but how it felt.
What do you want to remember from your best day? Easy: all of it.
That’s why my wedding and elopement collections are designed with flexibility — from all-day coverage to intimate courthouse vows. Everything is buildable and customizable to fit the way your love unfolds. Because not every love story fits inside a box — and yours shouldn't have to either.
Let’s make space for the quiet magic and the loud joy. I’ll take care of the art. You focus on the memory-making.

Packages
-
All day coverage begins 3-4 hours prior to ceremony, and ends 30 minutes to 1 hour into open dance. This ensures we’re not missing any important moments, start to finish. This collection covers 8 hours of continuous coverage, leaving room for buffers in case of spontaneous moments, because maybe you just really want McDonald’s after leaving the church - I’m here for all of it.
Most chosen collection, couple’s average spend, $5,050.00.
-
For more intimate celebrations with shorter desired timelines. This collection includes 4 hours of continuous coverage. Coverage typically begins 2-3 hours prior to ceremony, and ends 1 hour into reception.

Yes, yes, and yes. I’ve traveled with my couples all across the United States in years past. From the Midwest's cornfields, the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee, hiking through Ohio's Hocking Hills, Martha's Vineyard and various spots on the East Coast, and ventured through Denver and its surrounding areas. Wherever your love is the loudest - I’m there!
All of my traveling weddings receive a custom proposal including all travel (mileage, fuel, hotel or accommodations, flights, rental vehicle, transportation, food, baggage fees, parking fees, and other related expenses, if applicable), and then I complete all of the booking for my own travel to take it off your plate.
Travel fees are location-dependent and determined on a case by case basis. A 40 mile radius from Hebron, IL is included in all of my wedding collections.

If it's me you want present for your life memories (insert me dancing like a lunatic), I require a non-refundable retainer (50%) and a signed contract to lock you in on my calendar.
Wedding photography is on 3 split payment schedule. The first payment is a non-refundable retainer (50% of your total). The 2nd payment (25%) is due at the midpoint, and the 3rd and final payment (25%) is due 1 week prior to your event date.

Life happens, I get it. If you need some flexibility in regards to your payments, make sure to let me know ahead of time. I do offer a delayed final payment 1 week post-event-date. The only stipulation is that zero post-processing will begin until final payment is completed.
