Photographers vary in experience, equipment quality, skill level, time management, and people management. I am a full time photographer, but not all photographers are. We all vary so much in our art, ability, and financial standings. Also remember that there are not an unlimited amount of weekends, so we only have so many days to book weddings. Time and dates are valuable.
After 10+ years shooting weddings and being full time for 7 years, I have found this pricing structure to be the best for me. The price is not just about the hours you see me working. You are purchasing my creative art for your day. Each photographer captures a wedding completely different. Time and money goes into the emails, business expenses, contracts, timeline creation, editing, photo storage, the wedding day coverage, the engagements, keeping up with trends and skills. There are so many things that everyone can't see built into the price.

I recommend second shooters for weddings with multiple locations or getting ready locations far from ceremony site. It is a great way to make sure the bride and groom are both captured. But this is not a must have for average size weddings.

Yes I do! I am always wiling to travel! Let's go on an adventure! I've shot in Washington State, Bahammas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Iowa, and Florida. Contact to learn more.

YES! We will meet before you book on the phone or in person. I'll send that wedding guide your way too. Then we meet again before the wedding to finalize details. But I am always available for you to text and call.

$350- 1 hour - 35+ images - 2 outfits

I give you a style guide and a Pinterest board to help you choose the best outfits and location for your engagement.

You do not. I don't have albums/prints in my packages for cost saving on your side, and tax savings on mine. Your digital gallery will have an option to buy prints but is not mandatory. It is through Mpix. I recommend ordering albums from Artifact Uprising. Albums are only offered with Package 4.

The retainer is $800 and is paid when you sign the contract and locks in your date. It is non-refundable due to you taking a date that I can no longer book, it pays for the corresponding time, and client meetings.

Travel cost varies per location.There is a travel cost for engagements and weddings outside of the Springfield/Branson area. Contact for details.

The amount of photos depend on the time you use and events of the day. The packages come with full download rights to all photos. The galleries also have optional access to buy prints and albums. Usually galleries have 500-1200 (full wedding) photos. With a second shooter that adds about 200-300 photos. Elopement galleries are 200-700 photos.
