A second shooter is basically a second photographer that will assist me throughout your day.
They’re super helpful if you are NOT doing a first look, have a larger bridal party, big family or if you’ll be getting ready in two different places.
They also provide a different angle than me so you’ll receive more images with different perspectives! Ex. While I capture you walking down the aisle, they can put their full attention on capturing the Groom seeing you for the first time.
Adding a Second shooter is an additional $50/hr. I reccomend having them for at least 4-6 hours!

If your Venue is within 25+ miles of me (Currently in Edgewood, wa), no travel fee is required. If it is over 25+ miles, a small travel fee will be added on for gas.
If your venue is over 100+ miles, the travel fee will consist of gas + the potential of hotel accommodations for the night, depending on when I leave.
-
Short answer — Yes!
All of my wedding packages either come with a complimentary session or have the option to add one on for a highly discounted rate
Like It — 25% off Engagement Session
Love It — 50% off Engagement Session
Gotta Have It — Complimentary Engagement Session

Absolutely! If you’re interested in this option, feel free to let me know and I’d be more than happy to send over my hourly rate.

To keep it simple, my travel fee would include my roundtrip airfare, hotel and a rental car. There is no exact price on my travel fee, since it’s based off the airfare and accommodations around the time of booking at your destination. Although the sooner it is booked, typically the cheaper it’ll be.
If you’d like a rough estimate on the overall price right away, a quick google search on flights and accommodations around your wedding date will give you a more accurate quote on how much the travel fee might be.
Typically I like to arrive at your destination the day prior and leave the day after your wedding. To ensure there’s no travel issues, I have enough time to prepare for your big day and will have time to import your files post wedding.
Let’s say I’m your girl and you’re ready to book with me..we can look at the rough estimate together and will find the best price for me to book. From there, I will handle all the financial details and bill you through your invoice. I try my absolute best to make this an option and will travel wherever you need me!

A day after session is a 1 hour bridal session that typically happens the day after your wedding or within that first week being a married couple, where you get dressed back into your wedding attire and we go take more portraits at a cool location!
Lets say you get married in a church but still want those elopement in the mountain pictures..a day after session is your perfect medium!
Sometime during a wedding day, we really only get around 30min to an hour to capture bridal images of just the two of you so this is a way to make sure you can still get both while you’ll be able to be fully present on your wedding day and not have to worry about getting all your photos done.

My hope is that working with me is a lot of fun and easy!
I try to keep all my sessions light with a ton of movement, talking, music and sometimes even alcohol lol
On wedding days, my goal is to obviously capture your day but I also try my best to be your go-to girl for anything you need. You need a drink? I got you. You need a mint? I got you!

Unfortunately If your session is outside of 25+ miles from me, a small fee is required. This is basically just to cover gas.
Although if you choose a destination that is on my bucket list, I’m willing to give a discount! (View bucket list here)

I would like to describe my working style as laid back, your go-to girl, while also being direct and able to make you feel comfortable and most of all confident!
I strive for the perfect mix of giving direction, movement prompts while also getting those in between candid moments along the way!
My editing style I would describe as true to color, enhanced, w/ warmth!
