A micro wedding typically includes a smaller guest list (up to 50 guests). Even though the guest count is smaller, this type of wedding is often planned. Many couples choose choose to spend their full wedding budget - just on fewer people. Think: a beautiful wedding dress, elegant florals, candlelight dinners and open bars. Please note that micro weddings with more than 50 guests, multiple locations, and/or 8+ hours of coverage are best suited for full day coverage.

A minimony is even smaller than a microwedding and typically includes no more than a dozen guests or so. Although smaller, minimonies typically include many of the traditions found at a larger wedding. Think: a commitment ceremony, florals, a catered meal, beautiful portraits.

This is probably already a term you're familiar with. A couple can't wait to be married and they want to skip the traditional ceremony, so they find a witness and someone to conduct the ceremony. Think: Pam & Jim at Niagra Falls in The Office. These days, elopements might be spur of the moment but they may also be planned. Romantic locations, beautiful attire and intimate images of the two of you.

We know postponing a wedding is not an easy decision. If you find yourself in this situation, we ask that you let us know ASAP so that we can work together to find you a new wedding date. If you choose to reschedule your wedding for a new date, we do require an additional retainer to hold the new date.
Should we be unavailable on a new date, we will do our best to help connect you with a photographer who is available, whether that be one of our associate photographers or another professional photographer who we trust to capture your wedding in the same style as us.
This depends on how many locations you want to include and the number of guests. We can guide you to the perfect collection once we hear more about what you're planning.
We are fortunate to be a full-service studio of multiple photographers. No matter who photographs your wedding, your photos will be captured and edited in our signature style.
Our minimum is our 45 minute session. This is appropriate for a small elopement with limited time for portraits.
YES, all of our clients walk away with a tangible heirloom album of their wedding day. We would love to work with you, whether you're interested in a highlights album or a large two-volume album of your day.
You'll receive sneak peeks within 24-48 hours. Then you will have a pre-scheduled Reveal appointment to view your images within 3-5 weeks of your special day, depending on the type of event you are planning.

"A week after our wedding, I cried happy tears when we saw the preview gallery of the photographer's favorite photos—we knew we chose the right person to capture our day! The final product is stunning—the composition, lighting, and all of the details are carefully considered and consistent."
