Obviously every session, elopement, and wedding are different. Every couple has different expectations. Venues and locations are unique.
Travel times vary.
These timelines are meant to give you a general idea of what to expect from each package and are in no way timelines set in stone for your day.
Although most couple's sessions are used for engagement photos,
they can be used for a variety of purposes other than the standard engagement shoot, such as:
Whether you're renewing your vows or just didn't have enough time on your wedding day to take full advantage of all the beauty the PNW has to offer, we can always come up with some valid excuse to put your wedding clothes back on and head out on an adventure!
Obviously you're hoping your proposal won't take the entire 90-minute session, and it won't! What I highly encourage though is that you secretly pack a change of clothes for your soon-to-be fiancé so after they break down in happy tears, you can do an impromptu engagement session. Trust me, the flurry of emotions and excitement isn't something that can ever be recreated in subsequent shoots so take full advantage of this moment!
I treat maternity sessions just like any other couple's session with the slight exception there might be just a touch more belly-grabbing than normal. No cheesy maternity poses here!
Hiking time is included in any session so while we can't get too adventurous with my standard couple's sessions, you do have the option to add additional hours on so we can really get out into the backcountry!
Discounted rates begin at the four-hour mark. We'll determine your hiking abilities and pace and then go from there in creating a custom package as adventurous as you two are!
You know your budget.
You know who you want as your photographer. But how are you supposed to know which package is right for you?
Each and every day is unique to the couple's vision but to get the downlow on how your day could go, keep scrolling!
