— Heirloom add-ons

The printed pieces.

Most photographs end up living on a hard drive forever. These are the pieces that get printed, framed, mailed to grandparents, kept on bookshelves. Available with any collection.

Linen-bound album

Hand-bound by Lost Art Press in Kentucky. 12×12, twenty pages, twenty more if you'd like. Cotton paper, stitched binding, slipcase included. Designed by me, two rounds of revision.

Starting$1,400

Framed print set

Three framed 11×14 archival prints, hand-printed at Bowery Lab in New York, in solid white-oak frames. Set arrives ready to hang, with hardware. You choose the three from the gallery.

Set of three$960

Save-the-date cards

Letterpressed Save-the-Dates and thank-yous, designed around photographs from your engagement session. Printed at Studio On Fire in Minneapolis on cotton stock. Quantities to 200.

Starting$680

Parents' albums

Smaller 8×8 versions of the main album, identical layout, for parents and grandparents. Often four ordered as a set; price drops with quantity.

Each$540

Editorial engagement

A slower, longer engagement session — half a day, two locations, three rolls 120 medium format. For couples not booking the Full-day or the Weekend, but still wanting the printed editorial-quality engagement work.

Half-day add$1,200

Rehearsal coverage

Two hours of coverage at the rehearsal dinner, with priority on family portraits I can't make at the wedding itself. Most useful for big destination weddings.

Add$900

— How it's paid

The investment, in three parts.

— Part i.

Booking retainer

30% of the collection investment to hold your date. Non-refundable; goes toward the final balance. Most couples pay this within a week of confirming.

— Part ii.

Mid-point balance

40% of the balance, due 90 days before the wedding. A planning call usually happens around this point.

— Part iii.

Final balance

The final 30% is due two weeks before the wedding. Travel and any add-ons are billed separately, after the wedding, against actual cost.

— Common questions

Before you inquire.

Will you travel internationally?

Yes. Travel is welcomed at any collection level. The Whole Weekend includes up to $2,500 in travel; Half- and Full-day are billed at cost. I've shot weddings in Italy, Spain, Mexico, Iceland, Japan, and across the US.

Do you shoot only film?

Almost. Every wedding I shoot is at least 90% film. I bring a digital body for low-light and emergency backup, but I haven't ended a wedding day with the digital camera as my primary in five years.

How do you handle large families?

I take a list from you in advance, group it efficiently (twelve groupings is my max in twenty minutes), and we knock them out before cocktail hour. I rarely shoot family portraits longer than 30 minutes.

What happens if you're sick or injured?

I have three trusted associate photographers who would step in. They are people whose work I would happily put my name on. The contract describes this in detail; it has happened once in twelve years.

Can we add more coverage later?

Yes. Adding hours up to one month before the wedding is straightforward; closer than that depends on what's on the calendar. We can almost always make it work.

What's your cancellation policy?

The retainer is non-refundable. Reschedules within 12 months for any reason are honored at the original price. Beyond that, the contract describes a sliding scale.

Do you photograph same-sex weddings?

Yes. With the same enthusiasm and the same approach as I bring to any wedding. About a quarter of my recent work has been LGBTQ couples; you can see specific weddings on request.

Can we order more prints later?

Always. The gallery has a print store built in for fifteen sizes; album add-ons can be ordered any time the collection's gallery is live (one year, three years, or perpetuity).

Three collections.
