NATALIE & SHAWN
Photography Proposal | August 29th, 2026
Let’s capture magic together.
It is an honor to be thought of to capture such a special moment in your lives. Thank you for reaching out and thinking of me to document your wedding day!
Documenting love stories is a privilege, and it is even more fun and special to work with people I know. For referrals from friends and family, I like to include a 10% discount for any of the packages you select!
Here is how it works: I have outlined a few of the common photography packages below. These are largely just starting points! Some of the larger packages have engagement sessions baked in, and there is a list of some of the additional services we can talk about on the side. Take a look and see which package fits closest to your ideal coverage time and plan for your day. All these bundles include some built-in wiggle room, as I like to arrive early and shoot a little longer than budgeted. I am more than happy to make changes to make a package that fits what you need, so just let me know where you would like to make adjustments!
My goal with the couples I work with is to be as unobtrusive as possible. I prefer a journalistic approach, giving you both the space to enjoy your celebration with your loved ones, and capturing authentic and candid moments throughout the day. I take a minimal approach to posing, preferring to just offer light guidance and using portrait sessions to give couples space and time to spend with just each other. Obviously there is some necessary coordination for family and group shots, but we can work together to develop a list ahead of time to make that a smooth and quick process and get everyone back to the celebration!
Regardless of how you’d like me to be involved, I am so grateful that you thought to ask! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions for me. I will be in touch to schedule a consultation call with you to talk through what fits for your day.
Cheers,
Ryan
PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGES
-
Engagement sessions are a great way to get some of the jitters out being in front of a camera. Some packages do include an engagement session. If you book this separately and decide to book a package that includes the session, we can deduct what you’ve paid from that package price!
Starting at $550
1 Hour of Coverage
Typically just one main location (can be a trailhead, or a park with multiple ‘scenes’).
Outfit changes are welcome!
-
This is for your standard wedding coverage. A typical timeline would cover about an hour of getting ready shots, wedding party photos, ceremony, family photos with coverage wrapping up about an hour into reception.
Starting at $2,450
6 Hours of Coverage
Planning / Scheduling Assistance Available
Online Gallery / Print Release
-
This package gives more room in a standard timeline for a full wedding day, capturing more candids during the morning getting ready, allows more time for a First Look, an off-site portrait session, and fun party candids during open-dancing. This package is helpful for those with larger guest lists & larger wedding parties or families, giving us time to gather the group shots & combinations!
Starting at $3,550
9 Hours of Coverage
Planning / Scheduling Assistance Available
Complimentary Engagement Session (1hr, scheduled separately)
Online Gallery / Print Release
-
This is the all-inclusive package for weddings, with no limits to coverage time. This is for those couples that want to prioritize the candids and extra moments throughout the day, or for those with traditions and ceremonies that extend beyond just a few hours in the afternoon and evening. Full day coverage is non-limited, and in certain cases coverage can include rehearsal dinners or additional events throughout the weekend.
Starting at $5,100
~12 Hours of Coverage
Planning / Scheduling Assistance Available
Complimentary Engagement Session (1hr)
No Travel Fees!

-
($195 / Hour) - for those timelines that need a little extra time, or for when you know your guests are great at dancing and you want some fun candids from the dance floor! We can add extra time at any point during the planning process, even day of in most cases!
-
($60 / per roll) - Film looks are fun, and there can be some wonderful elements and effects only possible on an old SLR. I shoot on a Nikon F3, and use either Kodak Gold 200 or Portra 400, though I do take requests if you have a favorite film stock.
-
($300) - Sometimes it is fun to get shots of your ceremony or the reception space from above. This service is subject to FAA regulations, and might not be available at every venue.
-
($550) - This add-on is like an engagement session, only we skip the golden hour and opt for twilight or true night. This can be at a dark-sky spot with the milky way or some beautiful stars, or in some neon-lit dive bar that you and your partner love for a documented night on the town! Includes some travel allowance.
-
($600) - For those that want some extra candids of the celebrations the night before your wedding! Can be formal or informal. Coverage time is intentionally flexible to accommodate for a variety of event styles and shooting outside of ‘eating’ time.
-
($30 / Camera) - These images are usually super fun, if not just funny. Put a few of these out during cocktail hour! I’ll collect them at the end of the night and get the film developed.
-
($90 / hour) - Assistants are taught to shoot similar to my style, and their photos are edited within the full gallery to achieve a cohesive vision.
I can’t be everywhere at once, so an assistant is a great idea if you have multiple locations for getting ready, a large wedding party or family photo list. It can be nice to have another photographer to capture candids and grab & grins during cocktail hour and the reception!
*This is the one exception to the friends and family discount, as this fee goes towards paying the assistant for their time and vision!
