Why I Don’t Send My Investment Guide Right Away—And Why It’s a Good Thing

filed in:


If you’re looking for wedding photography pricing, you might be wondering why I don’t have a full investment guide available upfront. And I get it, you want to know what to expect before reaching out! But here’s the thing, your wedding isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your photography package shouldn’t be either. Rather than sending out a generic pricing guide, I take the time to get to know you first, ensuring that what I offer is perfectly tailored to your day.

I believe your wedding photography experience should feel intentional, personal, and completely tailored to you. That’s why I offer all-day coverage as a foundation. No clock-watching, no worrying about missed moments, just full, heartfelt storytelling from start to finish.

Every couple and celebration is different, which is why I don’t offer cookie-cutter pricing or pre-made packages. Instead, I get to know your wedding vision and priorities first, then create a custom investment guide that fits exactly what you need.

As an East Coast and Nashville wedding photographer, I’ve worked with couples hosting everything from multi-day destination weekends to intimate backyard elopements, and I know how valuable it is to have a photography experience that reflects your day.

A Custom Experience, Designed for Your Wedding

While every proposal is unique, my 10-hour wedding day packages start at $6,997. From there, I’ll craft something completely tailored after we connect. That means before I send anything your way, I’ll ask a few key questions and schedule a quick call to hear more about you both.

Why the call first? Because I don’t just want to know the logistics—I want to understand your energy, your priorities, and what matters most to you. That’s the only way to build something truly meaningful.

Some couples want multi-day coverage to capture the full weekend story. Others are hosting a more intimate, streamlined day. By designing your package with you (not for you), we make sure it fits just right—nothing more, nothing less.

Why Connection Matters in Wedding Photography

This is about more than a transaction. It’s about trust, connection, and creating space for real, emotional storytelling. I’ll be there for every moment—from the deep breaths before your first look to the sweaty, champagne-soaked dance floor—and I want you to feel completely at ease.

That’s why I don’t believe in just sending over a pricing guide and calling it a day. I want to hear your story, learn what excites you most, and make sure I’m the right person to document it.

And listen—I know this process isn’t for everyone. Some couples want quick quotes, and that’s totally okay! But for those who value a more personal, tailored experience, this approach makes all the difference.

Wedding Photography That’s More Than Just a Photoshoot

One of the biggest benefits of this custom approach is that it allows your wedding day to feel exactly as it should—a celebration, not a photoshoot.

When couples choose me, they’re not just hiring someone to take pictures. They’re investing in a photographer who values how the day feels just as much as how it looks. Someone who gives you space to be present, who gently guides when needed, and who always keeps the focus on your experience.

That’s why I encourage couples to think beyond just the budget. Because when you work with someone who truly sees you and designs the experience around you, the entire day flows better—and your photos reflect that.
