Gallery Delivery

Send me an inquiry form or email with your wedding date & details! I'll send investment details and customize offerings, including travel.
Once we finalize the details, let’s dot the i’s and make it official! I'll send you an exclusive 90+ page wedding guide with tips on planning your wedding, engagement, and bridal sessions, as well as send you a vendor recommendation guide I've compiled for you.

Then the fun begins! We'll have your engagement session, bridals, keep in touch, and get excited for your wedding together!
Around one month before your wedding, I'll send you a questionnaire to finalize details like your timeline, the family formals list, and any address any other concerns you may have.
Then it's wedding weekend! I'll be there every step of the way to capture and preserve those memories gone in a beautiful blur, so you remember how it not only looked, but felt. I’ll acquaint myself with your friends and family so I can capture your relationships perfectly.

After wedding day, I'll send you a handful of sneak peeks - okay, more like a few handfuls because I can't help myself. 6-8 weeks later,, I'll send your full gallery and we can start designing your full album that will preserve those memories perfectly! 
I can't wait!

Details include

I approach weddings with a gentle heart and helping hand, getting to know your family and friends and creating images made to last. I love capturing from both a beauty approach with posed, magazine-worthy images and a documentary approach to capture the real, in-between moments of your day.

I bring love, light, and laughter everywhere I go to bring an experience of a lifetime.

My Approach

Let's Work together!

Prior to the wedding day, I work alongside your wedding planner to create and finalize your photo timeline, create your family shot list, brainstorm locations, and truly understand what your photography priorities are for the big day. I provide a complimentary wedding guide full of help with tips for your engagements, bridals, and all things wedding. I also offer a vendor recommendation guide with all of the top vendors in my local area.

I take on a select number of weddings per year to create the best possible experience for all my couples throughout the entire wedding process.

The Investment

Most clients typically invest between $6,000 to $9,000 custom curated on their specific needs.

Shalae was the photographer at my wedding and she did an AMAZING JOB! She was punctual, easy going and so awesome to work with. The day after our wedding, she sent a sneak peek of some photos and they turned out AMAZING!

- Maddie

Shalae is an incredible photographer and she makes the experiences so fun and comfortable! As someone who's not very fond of being in front of the camera, I didn't mind it at ALL. She's a beautiful human - inside and out.

I aim to have your photos delivered within 6-8 weeks of your wedding day and I always love sending a handful of sneak peeks within 24-48 hours after your wedding. You’ll receive an email with an online gallery, complete with web-optimized images for social media, as well as high-resolution images ready to print.

When will I get my photos?

Yay! I’ll send you an online proposal with the contract and invoice. A flat-rate retainer is due to reserve your date and the final payment is due 30 days before your wedding. We can set up a payment plan or have one final payment, whichever you’d like!

We want to book! What’s next?

I photograph on both film and digital mediums! While I mostly shoot digital, I love integrating film for a timeless touch to your gallery, with such gorgeous colors and tones. This also allows me to edit the digitals to match the film photos more, too!

Do you shoot film or digital?

Typically, I deliver anywhere from 70-100 images per hour. This could be more or less depending on wedding size, details, number of photographers, and time. You’ll receive all of the best of the best images from your wedding day!
