PRICING + INFORMATION GUIDE
Congrats!
Thanks so much for getting in touch with me about your upcoming, special day - big hugs and congratulations again for sealing the deal! I am so excited to learn all about you, and hopefully get to join you on your day. It is an honour to preserve these invaluable moments for you and I do not take that for granted.
Hey, I’m Michelle
Some of my loves include: iggy’s, good movies, vintage home stuff, and bringing my film camera to all the neat places I explore.
As a type 4 on the Enneagram, I’m a creative soul with a deep love of human connection. Staying up late with friends around a campfire, and watching the sunset with Emilio and our dog Benni, are some of the moments that make me feel like home. I want to capture the things that make you feel like home, and everything that makes up who you are. This time in your life is worthy of being documented, and I want you to remember it for exactly what it is - no fluffy awkward poses, just the real stuff.
Why I can't wait to document your day
I distinctly remember my mom sending me off to my family's cabin in Ontario every summer with a disposable camera in hand, and I would just capture every single thing in sight with that plastic lens. Since then, photographing love and people's stories has turned into my most treasured creative outlet. When I’m asked to be your photographer, my goal is to photograph your connection in a way that is both artistically beautiful, and tells the honest story of you.
It's honestly more than taking a photo for me. I'm here to learn all there is to know about you, and create tangible artistic memories that depict exactly who you are. I'm about creating art out of your story, and that's why I am over the moon excited to document your day.

THE PROCESS
AND WHAT OUR JOURNEY WILL LOOK LIKE

Yay! We'll finalise your deposit and sign the dotted lines to secure your booking. You'll complete a questionnaire that'll help me to get to know you even better.
02.
LOCK IT IN
Now the fun begins - If you purchased this session or it’s already included in your package, let's shoot your engagements! We'll book a date, location, and discuss any other ideas you have in mind. I'll also help with any outfit inspo if needed!

ALBUM DESIGN
Optional Extras
IT’S YOUR DAY, SO YOU CALL THE SHOTS
01. Photographer by the hour
Whether you've planned a special morning ritual or a wedding after-party to keep the festivities going, I'm more than happy to help you capture all the moments. Simply add some extra hours to your chosen package and count me in!
+$500 PER ADDITIONAL HOUR
02. Rush Fee
Don't want to wait the usual 4-6 weeks to see your photos? The excitement is real and I get that. Skip the queue and add the rush service to have your photos in just a week after your wedding.
+$500 RUSH FEE
03. Film Photography
If you love the timeless and nostalgic look of film just as much as I do, then I would be happy to designate a whole roll of film to your wedding or session, These images will be digitally scanned at the highest resolution, and added into your final online gallery.
+$150 FOR A ROLL OF 20-30 EXPOSURES
Second Shooter
As much as I'd love to clone myself and be in two spots at once, it's a lot easier to get extra coverage if you choose to have a second shooter on the day.
This is a particularly good idea if:
You have a large guest list, and want to make sure we get shots of everyone that's there on the day
You and your partner are getting ready at the same time, and the locations are far apart
You're wanting photos of the ceremony and reception styling, prior to the arrival of your guests
Basically, the second shooter will act as my wingman/ wing woman, doubling the coverage of your wedding. We'll team up to make sure that everything is captured, from start to finish, locations far apart. Lastly having a second shooter will ensure photos are taken of the ceremony and reception styling, undisturbed by guests.
+$450 FOR A SECOND SHOOTER
Engagement
Authentically capturing just the two of you, being yourselves
This is where the fun begins. Let's be real, how many professionally taken photos do you and your partner have, ones that you really love and can fill your home with?
An engagement shoot is a chance for us to capture some really beautiful, candid photos of you and your partner in a relaxed environment. Just the two of you, being you. My ultimate goal is to photograph you for exactly who you are. Think of it as a fun date night, with me as your papparizzi! Trust me, I won't put you in any weird awkward pose, or tell you to say cheese, that's not how I shoot. You can count on me to make you feel comfortable, as long as you come to your shoot ready to completely let loose and have a goooood time!
You don't need to wear your prettiest dress or drive to the most instagrammable spot in Vancouver for beautiful photos. Sometimes the best photos are the ones that don't try too hard. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a gorgeous sunset or a mountian backdrop...but I'm also down to just chill in your living room with your favourite album playing, or build a campfire in the woods and exchange stories. Whatever speaks true to you, is what I want to shoot. So let's collaborate and create some freaking magic!
-
1-1.5 Hour Session, in your chosen location
Minimum of 75 High Resolution Photos
Shareable Online Gallery & Print Shop
+$600 (if not already in your package)
I grew up shooting with my little disposable cameras every chance I had, and even as a kid I loved flipping through my moms old film photo albums from the 90's. There's just something magical to me about film, and bringing that magic into my work has been a real passion of mine.
I photograph all sessions and weddings primarily with multiple DSLR cameras, but i love bringing my 35mm film camera along for the ride. if you've chosen to add Film Photogrtaphy to your package, I'll include all of the digital copies in your final gallery. So let's get weird and experiment together!
From a sweet wedding moment to an intimate capture of you two at the engagement session, a film photo will surely bring a sense of uniqueness and nostalgia to your gallery that you won't find anywhere else.

Here are some of my favourites
Because your wedding photos were not meant to live on a screen! Bring your images to life with a fine art customized album that will last a lifetime. Handmade from the highest quality materials and fully customisable to your liking, I'll craft and bind your favourite photos into a fine art wedding album. We'll work together to weave a story and create an album design that you're absolutely in love with. Simply select your must-have wedding images and I'll get the ball rolling. If you're not sure where to start or simply can't decide, I'll be more than happy to help you pull it altogether. You'll get up to 3 revisions to note any changes you'd like with my design, and we won't send it off to print until you're 100% happy with the layout. You'll be flicking through this album for years down the road, reliving your special day all over again, so let's make sure its perfect!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you based?
I'm based in Langley, British Columbia, but I photograph weddings allll over the country!
When did you start photography?
Photography quickly became my passion and creative outlet from a young age. I photographed my first wedding at age 17, and was immediately hooked. A couple years later, after realzing university wasn't really for me, I decided to pursue my dream. I've been full-time since 2018!
Do you do same-sex weddings?
Of course!!! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day. This is a judgement free zone, I promise.
We're super awkward, can you help us?
First of all, don't you worry! 99% of my couples say the exact same thing. I specialize in natural and easy posing, that feels real and provokes real emotion. All you have to do is come to your session ready to belly laugh, get allll close and cozy, let those walls down, and trust me. It'll feel like a fun date night with a very enthusiastic third wheel.
How many photos will I receive?
I don't go off of a specifc number, but you'll receive approx. 500-800 photos, depending on how many hours we shoot and how jam-packed your wedding day is!
How will I receive my photos?
You'll receive a link to your online gallery with all the moments of your wedding day.
How long will it take to receive our photos?
It will take roughly 4 to 6 weeks to receive your final wedding photos. I put a lot of love and care into perfecting each image, which is why it'll take me a little bit more time to deliver your final images. If you'd like your photos sooner, please ask me about the rush fee.
We don't want our photos on social media.
This is your wedding and if you are uncomfortable with your photos being shared on my social media platforms, I will respect that.
Why don't we recieve every photo you take?
I take so many photos on your wedding day, like too many to count! I carefully handpick the very best ones, and only those make it into the final gallery. I would rather send you the best of the best, than hundreds of subpar images where you're either blinking in, are out of focus, etc. You can trust me that you will receive all the good ones!
Do you have a payment plan?
Yes, we can organise to split your payments into four installments. Just let me know if this would suit you.
Can I print my photos?
Of course, I'd love for you to print your favourite photos! You can easily order high quality prints through your online gallery.
What if I have to cancel or move booking?
Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The deposit is non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other booking for your wedding date. I'm happy to change plans if needed on a case by case basis, but there will be a rescheduling fee. I hope you understand that deposit is insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation.
Do you have any vendors you recommend?
Yes, from years of experience in the wedding industry I have come to work with some incredibly amazing vendors (some of which I used for my own wedding!). If you would like specific recommendations, just reach out and I will gladly send you my list!
How to book
Here's how you can lock me in for your wedding day :)
First of all, THANK YOU. I'm unbelievably honoured that you'd like me to be your wedding photographer. I truly can’t wait to get to know you!
SEND ME AN EMAIL AND WE’LL GRAB COFFEE OR CHAT ON FACETIME.
It’s important that we connect on a personal level, before we commit to working together, plus I want to hear all of the juicy details about you two and the dreams you have for your big day! We can also go over any and all questions you might have, and see if I could be the perfect fit in photographing your day.
MAKE A FINAL DECISION
There is zero obligation to book during our chat, so no pressure whatsoever. I want you to feel 100% comfortable and confident in your booking once we've hashed out all the details. If you're in, I'm in!
Please note that I do book out pretty far in advance, so it's best to get in touch with me sooner rather than later, to avoid any disappointment.
I can’t wait to meet you soon!! x
