a letter to my couples
Every couple's story is a unique masterpiece, a story woven with strung sentences of shared experiences and dreams. Not is this story made with these shared experiences, but it is also comprised of two individuals who are joining together to create one full work. I understand that your wedding day is not just an event; it's a chapter in your whole story, and I am honored to be entrusted with the task of narrating it through a camera lens.
My documentary approach is rooted in authenticity and storytelling. With a passion for storytelling, I will create a visual narrative that reflects the true essence of your relationship and all these shared experiences.
If you're ready to embark on a journey to document your love story in stunning imagery, I invite you to explore my wedding photography services and discover how we can turn memories from your special day into a timeless masterpiece.
Each of these packages are designed to work into your perfect day and can be customized to meet your specific needs. I am thrilled to be working with you!
thanks, anika
Wedding Packages
All wedding packages will include full resolution downloads from a digital library. The library will contain all the best images from the day, which usually means around 300-500 fully edited and high resolution digital images. Each package also includes a complimentary engagement session or bridal session. You will receive the full galleries within 4 weeks following the wedding date.
8 Hours
We start with an initial consultation call where we will discuss the vision for the wedding day. From there, I can create or adjust the schedule to ensure there is enough time to capture every moment. With 8 hours of coverage, I will document all the special moments of your big day. After the event, you'll receive a gallery of 350 or more photos. I understand the excitement of seeing your photos, so I provide a gallery preview within 2 days of the event. We will continue to communicate during this process, so you can relax and enjoy every moment knowing that you are in capable hands.
10 Hours
Similarly to the 8 hour package, we will hop on an initial call. The package includes everything stated above, under the 8 hour section, with a few additions. Your photo gallery will contain extra images, which will create a total of about 450 or more photos. In addition, I offer discounted rates to shoot photos at your rehearsal dinner. There are a few additional surprise goodies, as well!
Film Add-on
I will include one roll of film that will be incorporated into your digital wedding gallery. You will have access to download these images at the same time as the rest of the gallery delivery.
how does the story inspire the images?
I want to learn about absolutely everything that relates to each of you and your love. Some of these things range from how you met to your typical or favorite activities and experiences. I want to incorporate all the details you have carefully chosen to integrate into your day. Are there family traditions you will be doing? Are you getting married at the spot where you met? How did you go through the wedding planning process and where do those wonderful personalities show in the venue, the flowers, or the food?
This can also be incorporated into your engagement session. We may decide on a location, activity, or vibe for the photos that matches your love. Are we going to the beach where you had your first date? Will we be playing cards like you do every Friday night? Are we sipping cocktails at your favorite speakeasy bar? Together, we will choose a location and a look for your images that truly matches you, your vibe, and your desire for the photos. This only comes with a careful planning process where I discuss location suggestions, we can choose activites, and you can coordinate your most favorite outfits to fit the look we are aiming for. Being a documentary photographer, I will capture each of these things as naturally as possible, in order to show your true selves.

Travel
I would absolutely love to travel to your wedding. Due to the customized nature of travel expenses, I will create a custom quote to match your destination and your wedding plans based on accommodations and dates for your wedding.
The Investment
Your wedding will be essential for telling your unique story, which is why my packages are customizable. The pricing may be a bit daunting at first, but you are investing in memories that you can look back on for a lifetime. These are the images that will be passed to your children and your grandchildren, and it is essential you have an amazing gallery that reflects that value. There are starting rates for the 8 and 10 hour packages if they are within a two hour drive. If they are outside that boundary, there will be additional travel fees incorporated to account for additional time required to get to and return from your event.
8 hours of coverage | $2,500

Engagements & couples | $500
Celebrate the excitement of your engagement by taking photos in some of the most beautiful places throughout the Pacific Northwest. From the breathtaking hills, mountains, beaches, and more, there are many options for you to choose from. We will go to this location and shoot photos for around 1.5 to 2 hours. Your gallery will have approximately 75 high quality and fully edited photos. They will be delivered in a digital gallery. Engagement sessions are complimentary when you book for your wedding!
Flawless Bridals | $500
Bridal sessions are such a fun and beneficial thing to do before the wedding day. They allow the couple to take beautiful photos in wonderful, hand selected locations before the actual wedding. They allow the bride and groom to take photos in a stress-free way separate from the wedding timeline. Sessions can be in a beautiful location with more artistic or detailed shots. We can spend more time taking photos of you and less time worrying about waiting guests. This helps speed up the wedding timeline by removing the need for bridal photos day-of. Instead, we will focus on family photos and the whole bridal party, which will be much more efficient.

You will receive a fully edited gallery of around 35-40 photos for download.
