Wedding Photography Prices
What You're Really Paying For
They say a picture is worth a million words for a reason. Wedding photos only increase in value over time as the images and stories get passed down for generations. I’m passionate about capturing couples who who understand the importance of meaningful, authentic photographs that will last a lifetime.
Beyond only capturing photos, hiring a wedding photographer means choosing someone who'll anticipate meaningful moments, document them with care, and help your day run smoothly.
I know I'm not the cheapest wedding photographer out there. And that's because I pour my heart and soul into the couples I work with: before the wedding, on the day itself, and long after the last song plays. I only take on a limited number of celebrations each year, so that I can fully show up for each couple with the time, care, and creativity they deserve.
My approach is hands-on, heart-forward, and grounded in genuine connection. I’ll fix your partner’s boutonniere, hold your pup’s leash, and make sure your grandma has tissues before she needs them. I bring a background in event planning and an eye for unscripted beauty—because your wedding deserves more than posed smiles.
Below are my baseline wedding photography packages and session add-ons to give you an idea of what fits your needs and desired investment, especially if you're wondering how much does wedding photography cost. I also have Investment Guides available for each of the different sessions I currently offer for a more in-depth look.

Second Shooter
A second shooter isn’t always necessary but it is always a fantastic addition to the wedding day. A second shooter brings another perspective and can ensure that all aspects of the event are captured. When added on to a wedding package, it will be for the amount of coverage I am booked for.
Day After Session
Day after sessions great for those wanting bride and groom portraits without the stress of wedding day timeline. We'll escape to a new location and take our time capturing more photos so you can spend more time less time posing for pictures on the actual wedding day (and more time enjoying!).
Rehearsal Dinner
Rehearsal dinner coverage is an amazing way to capture all of your closest friends and family in an intimate setting to kick off the festivities before the big day. This add-on can also be used for a welcome party, night before, or other pre-wedding celebration. Tell me what you're thinking!

Albums & Prints
I offer luxury printed wedding albums as a tangible keepsake from your big day, perfect to flip through now and for years to come. Or, opt for 100 high quality prints (ideal for framing) and a USB with your photos.
I Pride Myself On...
01
Prioritizing Your Day, Not a Photoshoot
Above all else, I want my couples to enjoy their day and have FUN. Your wedding shouldn't feel like an 8 hour photoshoot. I'll never push you to get the perfect shot, but rather join you on the dance floor to capture authentic moments. It's your celebration with your closest family and friends. Let's enjoy it (along with some pigs in a blanket).
02
Capturing All Love, With Intention
Love looks different for everyone and I'm here for all of it. I've spent time learning how to pose, light, and edit in ways that honor every skin tone and orientation. Whoever you are and whoever you love, I will always strive to make you feel seen and celebrated in your photos.
03
Keeping the Show Rolling
Thanks to my background in events, I know how to help pivot quickly and go with the flow. I pride myself on working with your vendor team to ensure a smooth day and help make sure even the little details are covered. Trust me, I care just as much as you do that your dress is properly bustled and your mom has tissues.
04
Being More Than Just Your Photographer
I'm not the photographer who collects your deposit and has one chat before the big day. Expect personalized quizzes to get to know you, session guides specific to your preferences, and in-person meetings. It brings me joy to help plan the smaller details, and I am always here as a resource to my people! If you need anything at any point, I hope to be the first person you think of.
05
Going the Extra Mile (and Then Some)
I'll get my feet wet for the shot, photograph in the rain, let you sit on my shirt so your dress doesn't get dirty, hand out fans and water to family, and deliver food to your grandma so she doesn't need to leave her seat. I put my entire heart and soul into your wedding day. I'm laser focused on YOU and anything you need.
06
Photos that Feel Like You
I care most about getting to know my people to create photos that genuinely feel like you. I'm always looking out for the small moments - grandma holding your hands, your parents' happy tears, that look your childhood bestie gives you as you walk down the aisle. I'm capturing authentic moments, not creating staged scenes for your Instagram.

Kind Words From Past Couples
"Elsie is, hands-down, the best photographer I’ve ever met."
From our initial Zoom consultation to the delivery of our wedding photos, she blew us away with her talent and personality. Elsie had a way of capturing the moment, not making you pose. She has such an eye for beautiful imagery. And she is an incredible mentor for those who want to get into photography! I could not recommend her more, truly. All day, every day!
- Charlotte & Russ
"Elsie shot our engagement photos and I immediately knew that we needed her for our wedding."
We recently got back all of our wedding photos and my husband and I were absolutely floored. Besides the fact that Elsie obviously has pure talent, she is a dream to have around on your special day (or any day). She is helpful, knows how to boost the mood, and feels like a seamless part of the occasion. I highly recommend her and can’t wait for her to be apart of other milestones.

Our day wouldn't have been the same without her. Not only is she absolutely so professional and a master of the wedding day chaos, but her warm and loving personality make even the most nervous bride and groom feel comforted. She is THE BEST! And her work is simply amazing.

"Can't recommend Elsie more - she is going to make your wedding the best day ever!"
We were so lucky to find Elsie! On top of being a super talented photographer for our wedding, she also included an engagement session and we immediately learned how personable she is! She gives guidance for poses because she knows what looks the best in a comfortable and confident way. This definitely carried over into our wedding day and she helped make the day stress free and perfect.
- Danny & Erica
"Elsie made me feel comfortable and good every step of the way while planning."
Elsie was amazing! We are so happy we hired her as our wedding photographer, and chose to have a second shooter as well. Elsie and Sara really brought the most amazing energy to the day. My bridal party and family all commented on how they matched our energy and really help pump us up and keep us in line. Plus the photos turned out so beautifully.
- Mikaela & Austen
"Elsie is beyond talented and so fun to work with!"
My husband and I were anxious about taking photos and feeling comfortable but she made it so easy. Our photos came out better than we could’ve imagined and will be something we can cherish for the rest of our lives! She was our ultimate hype woman and I cannot thank her enough for her hard work and time.
- Megan & AJ
"Elsie truly captured the look and feel we wanted for our photos."
From the minute we met in the parking lot it was like we'd been friends our entire lives. Elsie made us feel instantly comfortable, never rushed us, and was lively, fun, upbeat, and easygoing; we had an absolute blast working with her. I cannot recommend her enough for all your photography needs, she is THE BEST!!!
- Stefania & Eric

Seriously the best photographer you’ll find for any type of event or situation that you want to remember exactly how you felt in the moment.
- Linda
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer full wedding weekend coverage?
Yes! I love photographing full wedding weekends, it makes your photos that much more personal when I get to know everyone over the course of a couple days.
Often with destination weddings, I photograph multiple days so that we can get some shots around the city or area that you're getting married in.
If you're interested in additional coverage but maybe not the entire weekend, I also offer a rehearsal dinner and day after add-on.
Should you meet your wedding photographer before the day-of?
Meeting before the wedding is one of the best ways to ensure your photographer feels like an integral part of your celebration, not a stranger behind a lens.
We'll have an initial consultation via video call, and then an engagement session, which gives us a chance to get to know each other, discuss your timeline and cover any logistics. By the time your wedding arrives, you’ll feel completely at ease, and I’ll be able to blend seamlessly into your day, capturing your love story in its true light.
How long does a photographer stay at the wedding?
My wedding photography packages vary in the length of coverage, starting at 8 hours and extending to 10 and beyond (let's say, if you want after party or getting ready photos). My elopement packages begin at 3 hours of coverage, while couples sessions can last anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.
Additional hours are always available - we can discuss this when you chose your package so you have the exact amount of coverage (and photos) you want!
How many wedding photos will I receive?
Depending on your package and length of coverage, you will receive anywhere between 500 and 1,000+ photos from your wedding day, that are high resolution and professionally edited, made available to download in an online gallery.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes! I love traveling for love and my bags are packed... where are we going? Choose from my standard packages plus travel fees, or inquire about a destination wedding, where I'll craft a custom photography experience just for your celebration.
Can we order albums and prints?
My wedding photography prices do not include prints, however, I offer an add-on that includes 100 high quality prints and a USB flash drive containing all of your photos.
My premium wedding packages include a full service album design with a luxury bound book of photos from your day, which can also be added on to my other wedding photography packages. I also offer discounts on duplicates or parent albums in case you want a couple.
Should you take photos in your dress before your wedding?
Absolutely! Bridal sessions let us capture you in your dress without any wedding day pressure or timeline stress. You'll get comfortable with posing and movement, which makes you feel more confident on your actual wedding day.
Plus, you'll have gorgeous photos guaranteed, regardless of weather or unexpected hiccups.
Should I do a boudoir photoshoot before my wedding?
A bridal boudoir session is a powerful way to celebrate yourself before the big day. Whether it’s a gift for your partner or a moment just for you, it’s about stepping into your beauty with confidence. Many of my brides say the experience helped them see themselves in a whole new light.
This is your time to feel empowered, radiant, and unapologetically you. I create a safe, relaxed space where you can let go, have fun, and fully embrace the moment. The photos might be nice keepsakes, but the confidence is what will stay with you long after the shoot. If you’re curious, let’s talk.
