Welcome.
Choosing how much to invest in a photo and video can challenging!
Thanks for your interest in me and my company documenting your wedding! It is an absolute honor to be considered to capture this once-in-a-lifetime event for you.
As you read through this guide, you’ll notice that there’s a LOT in here. If you are wondering which package combo is the best fit for you, don’t hesitate to text or email me, and I’d be happy to help.
Choosing a wedding photographer is a huge investment. After reviewing this guide, we’ll hop on a phone or video call where I can answer all your questions, chat about your wedding day, and determine if I’m the photographer for you — before any money is sent or contracts signed.
Happy planning, and I look forward to connecting with you!

What’s the difference between a wedding and an elopement?
Great question!
Elopements are designed to be a more intimate wedding experience. *Usually* elopements have 4-12 people in attendance, and weddings are larger groups.
Elopements are typically for the couple who is dreaming of incredible photos and video that involve a hike to somewhere with lovely geography, OR are for the couple who wants to have a memorable wedding with their close family while staying on a budget.
Weddings have a larger guest list. Sometimes you’ll hear the term “micro-wedding”, which often refers to a wedding that has 13-40 people in attendance.
We’ve worked at weddings that have had anywhere from 60 to 300 people in attendance.
How you plan your wedding is totally up to you, but the way we think through and plan photo and video for elopements vs weddings is a bit different, and is why we have different investment levels for the two categories.

Engagement sessions are a super fun way to create so fabulous photos for wedding invites!

I cannot emphasize enough how much I LOVE bridal sessions (especially in the studio). They are such a fun opportunity to get more content in that incredible wedding dress, and— we can get really creative with the pictures. Bridal sessions have a unique way of capturing more of your personality and creating true art.
Wedding Day Content Creator
$125/hr
phone video coverage & social story creation
additional A&B team member
must be booked during the time that A&B is covering photo, but does not have to be booked for the entire photo coverage window
This add-on is a concept that is pretty new to the wedding industry!
Wedding Day content creators are an additional A&B team member who stick with me and capture behind-the-scenes video and social media content for you! (Many clients like having some TikTok trends filmed too!)
This position is a great way to have video memories captured without going the full wedding film route.
Second Photographer & Videographer
$200/hr for each additional A&B member
A fantastic way to ensure that more of your day is captured! Having a second A&B team member documenting your day is a great way to capture more angles, more details, and more memories.
HYBRID second photographer & content creator $150/hr
48 Hour Sneak Peeks
$200
Want to post wedding pics right away so that loved ones can see them? While sneak peeks normally take 1-2 weeks, rush editing is available to share those memories quickly!
Keepsake Photo Box
$100/box
Included in the Whole Day wedding package, this add-on is a custom-designed A&B walnut memory box. (I worked with the manufacturer to make these!) The box can hold about 30-50 4×6″ prints and has a custom USB with your wedding sneak peeks + a link to your full online gallery. This box is an awesome way to share wedding memories when family and friends come over.
Instax Polariod Cameras
$250
Want to have a instant film photo station at your wedding? I have a collection of instax cameras that I can bring with me! These are an awesome way to provide cute film party favors for your guests, or to put together a fun memory book.
Note: this add-on is a camera rental only (I currently have 6 instax cameras that are included for this price). If you would like me to purchase and bring the film, I would be happy to! The purchase price of the film will be added to your invoice (with no additional markup).
Selfie Station
$500
I have a collection of photo backdrops + a mobile backdrop stand. Having a photo backdrop is loads of fun for your guests, and creates a fun activity space for during cocktail hour and the reception.
This add-on pairs nicely with the Instax camera rental option if you want to have a designated selfie/group photo space.
What’s Next?
Fill out the form below!
I’ll respond to your inquiry email soon to let you know if I have your date available, I’ll also include sample galleries in my auto-reply email so that you can see images from a whole wedding day.
If I do have your date available~ We will set up a video or phone call to chat more about your wedding day, package selection, and booking details.
If I don’t~ we have two options! I can send you a list of some FABULOUS photographers I know that you can ask about covering your wedding, OR we can chat about what it would look like to have an associate photographer cover your day & have me edit.
In the meantime, talk with your partner about budget, work together to write a list of any questions that you have for me before we chat.
Kind Words
You won’t regret it!
The sample pictures were provided extremely quickly and the final portfolio was on time and BRIMMING with amazing photos. I love how she organized the photos into a timeline so I could find what I needed and live through the night all over again. 10/10.
I highly recommend hiring Kate to be your photographer.
Weddings are one of the most important days for wedding couples. Therefore, it is important that every vendor stays on top of their roles to help make the wedding day go perfectly. Before the weddings, I sent out a detailed timeline, floorplans, and vendor to-do list. At both weddings, Kate showed up on time and stayed on top of her tasks as a wedding photographer. She takes beautiful photos and is very easy to work with.
I highly recommend hiring Kate to be your photographer. I have confidence that you would love her and her work.
