Weddings
I have 3 different packages available for weddings! A deposit of $300 is due the day of booking your session and half the balance is due prior to the wedding.

Package 1 - $979( if booked after January 2024 $ $1300)
- 2-3 hours of time: perfect for capturing pictures of the wedding party and a few of the ceremony
- About 100
- An online fully downloadable gallery of all your edited photos .
Package 2 - $1,399 (if booked after January 2024 $1899)
- 5-6 hours of time: This time period is very popular and allows for a lot of time for pictures. I have had many people, however, ask me to stay longer in the day after the purchase of this package. I never mind a last minute "Can you stay a little longer?" but I want your day to be as stress free as possible, so please plan your time well.

- An online downloadable gallery so you own ALL your edited images .

Quick note about weddings:
I love shooting weddings, however, I will not take on too much. I will shoot up to 5 weddings from summer-fall. I am a solo photographer and I do not hire a second help (which keeps your prices down). I believe all weddings are different and I am willing to adjust to your day. Each session comes with a custom drive and a release to print but you also have the option to purchase professional prints at any time. If you would not like to purchase the drive and just the prints, we can talk about the pricing on that as well. More drives of photos can also be purchased with the fully edited photos, but only one is included on the pricing. I would love to sit down and chat, please message me for an appointment!
Please note I can always stay longer if needed but I charge $100 per hour extra ( 1/2 hour will be charged an hour of time ) please plan accordingly It is very common to ask the photographer to stay extra and it is so much easier if we chat about that ahead of time rather then that day and paying the extra $100 per hour .
with all photo sessions I do not sell or give out my unedited raw photos . I take pride in my work and level couple of professionalism and hard work I put into editing all my images .

Feel free to reach out and we can chat about your idea boards or what you have in mind for branding . Its always good to see if we are thinking on the same page .
Horse photos : This is not new to me but I feel like I need to have a seperate section for horse photos as they require a little more work . Anyone who has horses knows the photo shoot becomes"the horses" photo shoot :) They decide how it is going to go . It is important you have someone who is familiar with horses . I have 4 and they are my FAVORITE subjects (not always the most cooperative) but still my fav. $225 horse session includes me coming to you or your farm . I do barn shoots as well depending on how many people you have lined up to do seperate sessions my prices will vary . I may have to add a little for travel if its a great distance .
