Wpricing guide

Hello!
I am so glad you made it here. Let me first start out with
saying, congratulations on your engagement! I am so
honoured to be considered as a photographer for your big
day! This is such a fun and exciting time, and I love being a
part of a couples love story (even if it's behind the scenes).
As someone who has captured a lot of weddings and
planned her own wedding, I end up being a bit more than
just a photographer! I am a great person to bounce ideas off
of, help plan your wedding day time-line and just be there
to listen about all the ups and downs of wedding planning. I
honestly love it all and am more than happy to help.
In this pricing guide you will be able to get an idea on the
packages I offer and the items I offer a la carte. Please don’t
hesitate to send me an email back if you need more clarity
or if you want to work on a custom package. I can’t wait to
hear back from you!

Frequently asked
questions
how do i secure my wedding date?
In order to secure your wedding date in my calendar, I require a
retainer fee and signed contract from you and your significant other.
After all is said and done you will be officially booked!
why do you require a retainer fee?
A retainer fee is required as that date will be saved for you and I am
unable to book other clients on the date.
when is the remaining balance due?
The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding day. If
you would prefer to pay smaller installments after paying the retainer
fee and before the wedding, we can work together on a payment
schedule that works for you.
how long until we get our photos?
Within 24-48 hours of the end of your wedding day, I will send over
10-15 sneak peek photos of your big day. After that your full gallery will
be delivered within 4-8 weeks of your wedding day.
how do we get our photos?
Your photos are hosted on an online gallery. Here you can download
the whole album or individual photos. Within this online gallery you
can order physical prints straight from the site. Your gallery will be
available for download for 6 months after delivery date.

do you have travel fees?
I cover 60km of travel in my initial fees, any additional travel must be
covered by clients. If I am required to fly or ferry anywhere,
transportation fees and accommodations fees must also be covered
by the clients.
do you do videography?
I fully believe in the mantra “jack-of-all trades, master of none”. I
specialize in photography alone. I have worked and know of many
videographers that are amazing at their jobs and I am more than
happy to share my recommendations with you.
do we need a second photographer?
This is fully up to you and what you want out of your photographs.
Having a second photographer means you have another creative eye
capturing your day and getting alternate views. As the main
photographer I will be focused on the bride and groom, but a second
photographer can capture those other little moments that are
happening at the same time.
how do you keep my photographs safe?
In order to eliminate losing any images, I photograph your big day with
two cameras. Both of these cameras have dual memory card slots
with your photographs being uploaded to both cards. If one card
happens to crap out, there is a back up! I also have a third back up
camera should something happen to one of my main cameras.
After your wedding I go home and upload your wedding photographs
ASAP. These photographs are uploaded to two different hard drives.
However, that is not the end! I also upload your photographs to a
cloud storage, just in case a fire burns my house and computer down,
your wedding photographs will still be safe.

Enagement
sessions
Congratulations, you are engaged! It is so exciting that you and your
partner have decided to spend forever with one another. You might be
wondering if you really need an engagement session, and it's really up
to you both! But I have listed a few reasons couples choose to do an
engagement session:
1.
2.
3.
4.
A wedding is a beautiful way to share your love with your family
and friends, but often it takes time to plan and is quite far in the
future. After getting engaged you want to share your incredible
news and photos are a great way to announce your upcoming
nuptials.
Invitations, save the dates, guest books, displaying at the
wedding. A lot of couples will use their engagement session
photographs for the reasons just stated, but the list goes on!
I very often get told by couples that they are “camera-shy” or
“awkward” in front of the camera. No big deal! I am here to make
you feel comfortable and look like the kick-ass couple you are. An
engagement session is a great place for use to get to know each
other and show how I work. You will feel much more comfortable
on your wedding day after having an engagement session under
your belt.
Weddings are more formal. We will get some elegant and
stunning photographs of your wedding day, but with an
engagement session we can go to some really cool locations, act
a bit sillier and get a bit dirtier. You get the best of both worlds!

Post-wedding
sessions
Weddings are so much fun, but often couples will be surprised at how
fast it just flies by! A post-wedding session is a great way to slow down
your actual wedding day. There will be less pressure on you to get all
the photos crammed into one day, so you can mingle with guests, get
married, eat yummy food, give a speech and dance your hearts out!
So, what exactly is a post-wedding session? It’s another day for you to
get all dressed up and wear that dress or suit again! You will be more
relaxed without the stress of the wedding day. You can avoid bad
weather. You can choose any location you like and are not restricted to
a location close to your ceremony or reception. Maybe you want to
dance in front of a waterfall in your wedding dress, or strut on top of a
mountain in your suit! The choices are endless with a post-wedding
session and allows you more freedom on your wedding day.

Boudoir
sessions
A boudoir session is a great way to boost your self
confidence, feel sexy and beautiful. You can choose to
keep the photos to yourself, or maybe you gift them to
your partner. It is all up to you.
During a boudoir session we will connect on a deeper
level. Throughout the session I will be guiding you
through poses to make you feel fierce and beautiful. I will
be continually reassuring and supportive. A boudoir
session is a journey of self-discovery and I will be there to
help you find out how incredible you are as a person no
matter your body shape or size. Together we will crush
societal norms. And you will end up with some killer
photos!
Also, If you’ve ever wanted an excuse to go lingerie
shopping, this is it.

Adventure
sessions
Want to go on a hike? Maybe explore a new area only accessible by
boat? Adventure sessions are what you are looking for. These sessions
last longer than a regular one hour session. The goal is for me to hang
out with you both and capture the essence of you two as a couple.
That could be hiking, kayaking, climbing or whatever you are into! If
that doesn’t sound like your speed, and would rather spend the day
exploring a city, trying out breweries we can do that too!
Luckily we live in a beautiful province and have access to a lot of
different activities. If an adventure session is piquing your interest, feel
free to reach out and we can chat about all of the possibilities!

First Responder
appreciation
If you or your significant other work as a first responder, you qualify for
10% off any wedding or session package that you book with me. This is
my small way of giving thanks to those who deal with crazy things on
a day-to-day basis.
Why do I do this? Well, I grew up in a family full of first responders and
a lot of my extended family are first responders as well. My husband
also happens to be a firefighter. So to say the least, I am surrounded
by people that I highly respect and greatly appreciate for risking their
lives to save others.
Do you qualify? First responders are defined as those first on scene of
an emergency. If you are a police officer, firefighter or paramedic you
qualify for the 10% off!
Please make sure to mention this to me if you qualify so I can adjust
your invoice accordingly

true love stories never have endings.
