Investment. What a word, huh? It implies a giving of ones self - time, resources, vulnerability, in order to gain a reward. The truth is, and you can excuse us while we step up onto our soapboxes, what you put in, is what you get back, and that reward, when it comes to photography, is not a stagnant one. To get real personal, when I look back on photos of my kids, you better believe the tears runneth over as I study their tiny features that have turned from chubby toddler elbow dimples, to slimmed out big kids with pointy elbows and everything. And that’s just the physical changes. Their spirit has evolved, too. It takes but a single photograph sometimes to recall the made up words they used to use daily but have since been retired to our memories. That’s what we’re doing here, really.

As one father of the bride put it, “I did not think it was humanly possible to relive the preciousness of that evening.  I was wrong. You’ve made it live forever.” So, screw storytellers, we’re basically immortalizers.

In all reality, you’re hiring real live human people (hopefully ones that you actually like - seriously, that’s important), to write your love song for you.  It’s the song that never ends.  And we’re not talking about closing to the 90’s kids television show lambchop, though that’s probably stuck in your head for eternity.  We’re talking the kind of song that ebbs and flows, and just when you think it’s finished, it goes on.  As life evolves, so does the way you see your love story, and the people that are a part of it.  That seems to be a pretty worthwhile investment if you ask us.

But what will I get?

What a fabulous question. Thanks for asking. The short and long of it is, no matter which package you choose, they all contain the following:

• 6 + hours of photography coverage with Ashley + Ben

  Every package includes us. We have always shot together and can’t imagine doing it any other way. To put this into perspective - we really like each other, for one, but we also got into the business together as a team. That means, you’re not just getting a main photographer and their second shooter, you’re getting 2 highly skilled photographers that have been developing their skills as a unit for over a decade. We have our song and dance down pat and our work compliments one anothers in a highly unique and seasoned way.

• GIF’s

  We love a GIF. Introducing movement into a gallery invokes a whole different sensory experience. Every package comes with complimentary GIF’s woven throughout the story as we put forward every effort to make you sob like little bebes when you view your imagery for the first time (and the time after that, and the time after that, and so on and so forth).

• Online gallery

  The ease of the new age means your images live in an online gallery - which makes sharing them and ordering (the most beautiful) print products, a breeze. When we got married, we got everything on a disc, and we’ll refrain from sharing how annoying it was to share our pictures with our friends and family - hint, there were no soft breezes involved.

• High resolution downloads with a handy dandy print release

  While we are absolutely obsessed with the print products you’ll find in your gallery, we’d be lying if we said you wouldn’t ever need the ability to print on your own. Insert image here of Ben driving back and forth from our apartment to Walmart 3 times on Christmas eve because we were trying to print our photos for Christmas presents and didn’t have a print release readily available once upon a time. You know where you don’t want to have to go 3 times on Christmas eve? Walmart. Let us save you many many hours of labor so you can sit and drink hot cocoa by the fire, instead.

• Access to our exclusive planning resources

  We’ve been around the block a few times at this point and we’ve got the journey documented in a few clever ways to make the wedding day feel like a very very special walk in the park on a beautiful day.

• Travel + Lodging

  There’s no extra fee for travel costs for us, your friendly photographers who like to sleep in beds, anywhere in the US.
