Elopement Pricing

Elopements are special intimate celebrations shared with the inner most circle of your people. There are so many options to do for just you two & the few others you want to witness your day. I have seen couples choose to elope alone with their officiant, take time to capture photos & then have a dinner party with their loved ones to celebrate. You can also bring your closest loved ones on a much needed vacation to also celebrate your special secluded ceremony. You and your fiancé should enjoy whatever you’d like during this time. I would love to capture this special moment for you because I can bring a calm and comfortable enviroment admist all of the chaos. My husband and I have captured many weddings together and our favorites by far are to bask in the sweet quiet joy of the day with you both while also capturing each natural moment as they occur. We can be considered documentary and candid photographers while also bringing in a few formal “grandma shots” when need be.

Wedding Pricing

Ahh your wedding day is finally drawing near, we are so excited for you and your fiancé! You two deserve to be celebrated and have beautiful images to show your abundant love for one another in front of all the family and friends. There is always a special place in our hearts for medium to large weddings. But after all the sweet moments, the celebration, the amazing food, great dessert, and the partying, you will have your photos to remember it all. Rather than just hoping someone can match your dreamy, warm, romantic, & cinematic style, consider having Josh and I capture your day. We are more than just your photographers, we are your besties to ensure your day is everything you two dreamed of and more. We are your touch up people when you have a phone in the pocket or stray hair; We are your pack mule for the day to carry all of your essential items you could think of needing, we will most likely have it. We are your “people”, the ones who will not only cheer you both on, but who will ensure that we will do everything we can to make your day run smooth, on time, and as fluid as possible while still being able to live in the moment. We strive for documentary style and candid photography, which means every time we point the camera in your or anyone else’s direction, there is no need to look at us right away. Just enjoy each sweet soon to be memory, while you can. We will capture all of the raw, authentic emotions, while also finding ways to capture your genuine smiles. One final note, if you choose us you will have professional & bonus friends/family for a lifetime. We treat all of our brides & grooms like family from the moment we meet until they decide otherwise, we are always here cheering you on both before your wedding and after!

Engagement Session

My engagement sessions are 2 hours in length… “woah that seems like a long time” you may be thinking. But let me explain, please. I have met some tremendous couples over the years and I captured many 1 hour long sessions. I have found that my couples are left wanting more, which is a huge compliment in and of itself. So either we schedule an additional 1 hour shoot or we end our session much later than planned(which is not always a bad thing). This year though, I have chosen to extended to my sessions to 2 hours to allow for more creative freedom, more time to be goofy in front of the camera, more time to be comfortable with Josh & I, and more time to include all of your Pinterest inspiration boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you are seeking for a destination wedding out of state, please reach out to me and we will discuss pricing more in depth! If you are asking for a specific location within Michigan, Upper  and Lower,  the first 60 miles from my home are free and anything after is $2 per mile for round trip travel + a night stay if needed.

  • I am very blessed to say my husband Josh McNeil is my second shooter!

  • I am the only one editing the photos. A sneak peek will be shown within 72 hours of the session and the rest of the photos can vary between session.

  • I believe in having every moment count! If I capture it & I love it, you will see it. My photo giveback varies between sessions but I will be aware of all that I have captured so you don’t miss a beat. I roughly estimate a minimum of 1 photo per minute for engagement and proposal sessions, & at least 100 an hour for weddings. :) 

  • I have invested into a safe site that is well recommended by many photographers. Pic Time, is an online gallery that gives you versatility when receiving your photos. You may download the album straight through Pic Time’s website. You  can also purchase full printed albums, jewelry, canvases, and other forms of the photos that you love. I do make commission from each sale but it never required to purchase from the website.

  • I would be happy to order you an album or canvas after your wedding day! Just tell me your favorite one & I would be happy to have it displayed however you please! :)
