Custom Packages

That Fit Your Priorities

Life isn’t posed, and your photos shouldn’t feel that way either. If you’re thinking, “I’m never comfortable in front of the camera,” that’s okay. We know how to help you settle in and feel like yourself. Our approach is all about guidance, not stiff posing. We won’t tell you exactly how to look at each other or laugh—you already know how to do that. Our job is to create the kind of environment where meaningful interactions happen naturally. The result? Images that are relaxed, real, and unmistakably you.

After all, our job is to capture the story of your day—not create it.

We also don’t believe in cookie-cutter packages. Instead, we’ll help you build a custom plan that fits your day, your priorities, and your people.

WEDDING COVERAGE

They say there’s no “right” way to plan a wedding, and we totally agree! We’re all about getting to know your vision for the big day. You don’t want to have to sift through a bunch of generic packages and try to figure out if they have what you need. Our job is to help you come up with the perfect wedding photography plan. We’ll craft a couple of personalized packages based on exactly what you need—no extra fluff. The best news? We only take on one wedding per day, which means you’ll have our full attention. No distractions, no juggling. On your wedding day, we’re all yours!

Wedding collections begin at $3,000. Most couples invest between $3,500–$4,500 depending on their priorities.

Engagement sessions

We totally get it—posing and smooching in front of a camera can be a tad awkward, especially with a photographer you’ve just met. That’s why we’re all about starting with an engagement session. It’s like a fun warm-up where we get to know you two better before the main event. Plus, you can see firsthand how we roll and get comfy posing like pros.

Micro Weddings

And Elopements

Just because you’re planning something small and intimate doesn’t mean you should miss out on beautiful photography. Our custom micro-wedding and elopement packages are perfect for couples looking for meaningful, relaxed coverage tailored to a shorter celebration.

“They Will Not Disappoint!”

“They helped me stay relaxed and our entire bridal party had so much fun! None of the photos/poses ever felt forced or awkward and the pictures look amazing!”

-Ali & Nevin

“Matt and Carrie are amazing!”

“We LOVE our photos and they were so organized and professional the entire process. Our guests were amazed by how much they stayed out of the way but grabbed the most amazing photos.”

-Kim, Bride

“It was the right decision”

“Matt and Carrie are both wonderfully friendly and extremely easy to work with and it was undoubtedly the right decision having them be our photographers for our special day.”

Step 01

Getting Started:
Comfort, Confidence,
and Connection

Personal relationships are at the center of what we do! That’s why, before we ever take our cameras out, we like to connect with you as a couple. We’ll start by scheduling a time to meet in our studio, chat on the phone, or hop on a Zoom call. After helping you figure out how many hours you should book, we’ll send over a customized proposal that meets your unique needs. For the record, we only book one wedding per day and we never use subcontracted photographers. Our boutique model ensures we’re always the ones photographing and editing your photos—meaning what you see when you’re thinking of booking us is what you can count on for your day.

Step 02

The Wedding Day: Meeting Your Unique Needs

We don’t offer videography, photo booths, or any other add-ons—because we believe in doing one thing exceptionally well: wedding photography. Our focus is on delivering the best wedding experience possible, on the big day itself and in every moment leading up to it. When you work with us, you’ll get more than just beautiful photos. You’ll receive our expertise and experience, our honesty and authenticity, the comfort and care that help you feel truly at ease, the space to enjoy time with your family and friends…and, most importantly, images that reflect the very best version of you.

Step 03

After I Do: Heirloom Memories

We know you’re bursting with excitement to relive the magic and show off those amazing photos! You’ll get a little teaser for the ‘gram within a day or two of your wedding, and your full high-res gallery will be ready to view and share just a few weeks after the big day. Expect vibrant, true-to-life colors and stunning textures that make your story pop. No passing fads…just timeless edits that capture your essence. And because we’re all about the power of holding memories in your hands, most of our packages include a custom wedding album that tells your story—the one you’ll pass down through generations.
