The Wedding Photography Experience
West Michigan • Worldwide
This is the best chapter of your book, yet. This is your once-in-a-lifetime moment. And it’s finally happening.
Take a deep breath.
I know there’s a lot to plan and organize. But this moment is about you, that smoke-show fiancé of yours, and the story you’re writing together. So I’m here to make sure this feels like a breeze, to spoil the heck out of you two, and tell your story in photographs that make you gasp, cry, and swoon when you see them. Deal?
Let's do it like you dream it.
Let's do it like you dream it.
Your creative expert, day-of dress-floofer, and genuine friend...
...that just so happens to also be your photographer.
Hey friend, call me Nate! All my friends do. I know, cheesy-cheesy, but we’re about to experience one of the biggest moments of your life together, so we’re gonna become pals. Truth is: the more we’re all down-to-earth and chill and easy-breezy with each other, the more these photos and the experience will feel true to YOU. That’s when the magic happens, every time!

What’s in my wedding packages?
Here is a rundown of what you can expect to be included in my packages. Keep in mind that each package has different assets and exclusives, so shoot me an inquiry to get your full Price & Information Guide outlining specific details of each package!
Essentials
-
8 to 10 hours will fully cover a full wedding day, and 5 hours of photography covers a typical intimate wedding.
-
All photos taken will go through my hand-picking selection & hand editing process, so that you get the BEST OF THE BEST fully edited photos in print-ready AND social media/mobile ready sizes. (With full printing rights!) ✨
-
Within 24 hours, bestie! You’ll have at least 30-50 fully edited photos to choose from THE DAY AFTER your wedding, so you have something to tear up about, send to your pals & group chats, and post to social media. I GOTCHU. 😏
-
From booking day to “I do”, I am in your corner. I’ve been doing this for YEARS, and I’ve got your back. ✅ Email me, set up a Zoom call, shoot me your Pinterest board, you name it.
-
YOU WILL CRY. (Let’s be honest, I will also cry.) This slideshow video will include photo highlights from your day, set to sweet music, and just gives all the warm and fuzzy nostalgic feels.
-
Once your album is complete, I will mail you a beautifully crafted & engraved wooden heirloom photo box including some prints from your day and a USB drive that includes all your photos.
-
Within your gallery, I will give you exclusive access to the best photo print labs across the world, hand-selected by me. No but really—make a few clicks in your gallery, and drool-worthy prints will ship to your doorstep. 🎁
-
Right when you book, I will immediately send you my luxury 50 page “Wedding Guide” which is a value-packed guide to planning your wedding day with respect to your photography, to ensure stunning photos & a seamless experience for you. ✨
-
All my friends, peers, and connections in the industry will be yours to steal. :) Finding service providers you love, let alone trust is not easy, so consider me your official guide to finding the right ones.
-
About a month out from your big day, we will sit down for a meeting and create a custom Day-Of Timeline for you, so that we’re all on the same page and you can rest easy. 😊
Add-Ons
-
Double the angles, double the moments (and double the fun!). I will hire a second professional photographer to join me if your day would highly benefit from having one!
-
Let’s find somewhere special to you two, get comfy-cozy in front of the camera, and have some fun. All of my wedding packages come with a discount for engagement sessions.
-
Bust out that dress/suit/tux a second time for a bridal photoshoot! This happens on different day before or after your wedding day, to keep your big day stress-free, while still getting those smokin’ hot photos of the two of you. 🔥
-
All those sweet speeches, hugs, and reunions are some of the most special moments of the whole weekend. Don’t let them go un-documented! I always leave this as an optional add-on for you. 😊
-
Want your entire gallery delivered within 1 week instead of 1 month? I’ll clear my week for you with this add-on, so you can relive the best moments of your day while they’re still fresh in your mind. ⭐️
-
Think of how much more you will look at your photos if they are sitting in a beautiful, leather-bound, fine-art album on your coffee table for you and all your friends/fam to gawk at.
-
Feeling nostalgic and retro? Include a Film Photography Add-on and I’ll bring my film camera to document your day the old-fashioned way. There’s just something about film…📷
-
Need an extra hour or two in addition to your package? No problem. I offer a-la-carte hourly coverage if ya need me to stay an hour later or come an hour earlier. 🤝

Questions?
-
While the industry standard is 6-8 weeks (🥴), I deliver 20-50 "sneak peek" photos within 24 HOURS after your wedding day, and your final gallery will be delivered within ONE MONTH of wedding day!
-
Absolutely. In fact, your gallery has an integrated online print store where you can conveniently order from the BEST quality prints labs that I have hand-selected from around the world.
-
Heck yeah I do! My destination weddings/elopements are limited to 2-3 per year, but tell me where your love is taking us, and I’ll let you know if I have that date available!
-
I dual-write every single photo to two different SD cards, and then immediately back them all up to at least 2 additional security hard drives stored in a fire-safe box. 🔒
-
You bet I do! Just ask me for them. Also, if you book with me in Michigan, I can send you a complete vendor recommendations guide full of the best people to work with!
-
Easy peasy. You inquire, we hop on a brief Zoom call and make sure we’re the right fit, then I send you a contract + invoice you can take care of with a few clicks. ✅
-
As early as you can. (Even before engagement is totally cool!) Dates usually book up quick, and I’m only taking a maximum of 10 weddings/elopements per year right now to ensure top-notch attention given to all my couples.
