Virginia Wedding Photography Packages + Pricing
Understanding Your Photography Investment in Timeless Wedding Memories
I know that choosing the right wedding photographer is more than just checking an item off your to-do list—it’s a decision that shapes how you’ll remember your wedding day for the rest of your lives. Every wedding is unique, which is why I’ve designed my photography packages to meet a variety of needs, budgets, and visions. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration, a micro wedding, or an intimate elopement, my goal is to ensure your love story is captured authentically and beautifully.
I believe in transparency and trust, which is why I provide clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprises. From our very first conversation, I’ll work hand-in-hand with you to create a photography experience that reflects your style, priorities, and the moments you’ll cherish most.
Your wedding day is filled with moments that can’t be repeated—the quiet excitement as you get ready, the tears during your vows, the laughter on the dance floor—and it’s my job to preserve each of them. With a mix of technical expertise, storytelling artistry, and a commitment to creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience, I’ll ensure your photos tell the story of your day in a way that feels true to you.
Because for me, it’s not just about photography—it’s about creating memories you’ll hold close to your heart for a lifetime.

Are you planning something more intimate?
Not every wedding needs a full-day timeline — and that’s perfectly okay.
Many couples today are choosing elopements and micro weddings that focus on the heart of the celebration: the vows, the connection, and the people who matter most.
If you’re planning a courthouse ceremony, backyard wedding, vineyard celebration, or a small gathering with close family and friends, I offer dedicated collections designed specifically for intimate events.
These packages include 2–4 hours of coverage and are perfect for capturing your ceremony, meaningful portraits, and time spent celebrating together — all with the same thoughtful approach and timeless editing as my full wedding collections.
If your plans are leaning toward something smaller, you can explore those options below.
Fredericksburg and Richmond, Virginia Wedding Photography Investment FAQs
How much wedding photography coverage do we need?
The amount of coverage you need depends on the size and structure of your wedding day. Most couples planning a traditional wedding choose 6–8 hours of photography coverage, which allows time for getting ready, the ceremony, portraits, and reception highlights.
If you’re planning a smaller celebration or only want coverage for key moments, shorter collections may also work well. During our planning process, I help couples build a timeline so we can determine exactly how much coverage will best tell the story of your wedding day.
Do your wedding photography packages include an engagement session?
Yes. Each full wedding collection includes a complimentary engagement session. Engagement sessions are a great opportunity for us to work together before the wedding day so you can feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Many couples use these images for save-the-dates, wedding websites, or guest books, and they also help make the wedding day photography experience feel relaxed and natural.
Do you offer second photographer coverage?
Yes. A second photographer can be added to any collection, and the Diamond Collection already includes three hours of second photographer coverage.
Second photographers are especially helpful for capturing:
• both partners getting ready at different locations
• alternate ceremony angles
• cocktail hour candid moments
• reception details while portraits are happening
Having a second photographer allows more of the story to be documented throughout the day.
What is your photography style?
My editing and photography style is timeless, natural, and true to color. I focus on capturing real emotions and genuine moments without heavy filters or trendy edits that may feel dated over time.
The goal is to create images that feel authentic and that you’ll still love decades from now.
How many photos will we receive from our wedding?
Every wedding is unique, so the final number of images varies depending on the length of coverage and events throughout the day. Most couples receive several hundred fully edited images that tell the complete story of their celebration.
Your final images are delivered in a private online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints if desired.
When will we receive our wedding photos?
Couples receive a next-day sneak peek gallery within 24 hours of the wedding so you can relive the excitement right away and share images with friends and family.
Your full gallery of edited images is delivered after the complete editing process is finished.
Do you help with wedding timeline planning?
Absolutely. After photographing nearly 200 weddings across Fredericksburg, Richmond, and throughout Virginia, I help couples build a photography timeline that ensures the day flows smoothly while allowing enough time for portraits and meaningful moments.
This guidance helps reduce stress and ensures nothing important is missed.
Do you travel for weddings outside Fredericksburg?
Yes. I photograph weddings across Fredericksburg, Richmond, Charlottesville, Northern Virginia, and destinations beyond.
Travel within 150 miles of Fredericksburg, Virginia is already included in the collections, making it easy for couples throughout the region to work together.
How do we book our wedding date?
Booking is simple. Once you decide which collection is the best fit, I create a personal booking portal where you can review your contract and pay your retainer online.
Your wedding date is officially reserved once the signed contract and retainer payment are completed.
Do you offer photography for smaller weddings or elopements?
Yes. In addition to full wedding collections, I also offer micro wedding and elopement photography packages with shorter coverage options.
These are perfect for couples planning intimate celebrations, courthouse weddings, or smaller guest lists.
