Small Wedding Investment Guide

 

 

the nitty gritty

Here’s what an investment in wedding photography for a “small wedding” includes, from the first meeting to the final print.

 

Welcome!

We’re Joe and Jen, a husband-wife team of documentary wedding photographers


We fully understand the importance of documenting this exciting time in your lives, and we’re thrilled that our work has clicked with you enough to reach out and learn more.

A bit about us: as a couple ourselves, we’re sentimental about documenting love for others. How we work: first and foremost, we focus on building genuine relationships with our couples. This helps us create images that truly represent you, your people, and your story - plus, it’s our favorite part of the job!

After 10 years and 200+ weddings in business together, we believe that an experienced photographer is best to anticipate and capture the many moments that make up a wedding day. Our documentary / photojournalistic approach is organic, energetic, and honest. We want to show the heart of your day - the overflowing emotion, connection, and spirit of it - to bring you back to how it felt every time you view your photos.

How about you two? You simply can’t imagine life without each other, and you can’t wait for this next chapter together. As for your wedding day, you want to be present, to feel your day to the max, and to focus as much as possible on what (and who) matters most over trends and traditions that just aren’t you.

You want your photos to show the real stuff… the unscripted moments, raw emotions, honest personalities, and candid outtakes that make the day truly yours. If this sounds like you, then we may be the perfect addition to your small wedding!

This guide shows what an investment in wedding photography by us includes, from the first meeting to the final print. Here we go!

“What i hadn’t fully realized is how deeply photographers are woven into the fabric of a wedding day. We couldn’t have picked two better people to share that connection with.”

The Details


service

Our relationships with our couples are so important to us, and your investment with us includes excellent service through the entire process. We’ll invest time pre-wedding to help you plan for your small event, provide tips for great photos, and learn as much as we can about you two and your communities. On the wedding day we want you to feel like we’re part of the gang - a couple of friends who happen to have cameras.

As a start take a peek at Wedding Photo Prep guide, full of tips and FAQs about how to get the best photos possible.

Travel

We love to travel! For Midwest events more than 1.5 hours from Minneapolis a standard $500 travel fee applies. For US or international weddings >6 hours from Minneapolis the cost of round trip flights and 3 nights lodging applies.

Print Your Memories

We believe that prints are the most important part of the photography process. Digital images are the first step: great for widespread viewing and sharing, but ultimately temporary. Prints and albums are the final product, turning your memories into artifacts for you to cherish for the long haul.

We’ve curated a lineup of luxury albums, prints, wall displays, and items right through a shop in your online gallery. We guarantee that our paper and ink quality are accurate, durable, and meant to last for the long haul. After your wedding we’ll consult with you to select items that are perfect for you.
