we so excited that you are interested in choosing us to document your wedding!
Joanna and Michael are nationally published wedding photographers who specialize in bright, clean and classic photos. With a deep love of people, we are committed to an experience based on service and attention to detail while creating a fun and comfortable experience in front of the camera.
We believe that wedding photography is done best when couples have a relationship with their photographer and fully trust them. This is how we have guaranteed and delivered incredible photography experiences to our JK Couples the past 10 years! When I arrive on a wedding day, I need to feel like an old friend and not like a stranger. This affects every aspect of how your photos will turn out! Keep reading to learn about our process and wedding collections!
You've thoroughly combed through our website, blog and Instagram feed and you like what you see. So the next step is setting up a time to chat to make sure we're the perfect fit for one another.
You're engaged!
Once your date is officially reserved with a $1,000 retainer, we'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day. We're happy to serve as a resource for vendor recommendations, timeline guidance and more!
Make it official
Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.
We check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within four to six weeks of your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.

"There are not enough words to describe Joanna and Michael. From the very moment I booked Joanna, she was the most attentive, accommodating, and patient person to work with. She truly smooths out every detail leading up to the wedding, things I wouldn’t have even thought about."
a dream to work with!

We’re big believers that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: twenty years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.

& GUEST BOOK ALBUMS
ENGAGEMENT & GUEST BOOK ALBUMS
Albums are available a la carte or as part of your wedding collection.
After we deliver your gallery, we'll work with you to design an album that will become an heirloom for your family.
Albums must be prepaid before design begins and typically take between 4 to 6 weeks to complete (including revisions).
With the exception of printing errors, all albums are non-returnable. Albums may be ordered anytime before or after the wedding day. The holiday deadline for beginning an order is November 1st.
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. We do this for a living and we still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why
we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to the day before the wedding.
Celebrating a season
Whenever you would like! We can shoot this immediately upon booking or if you're from out of town, we can schedule something closer to the wedding day.

Your online gallery will come loaded with fully edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photos on social media! We kindly ask for photo credit when posting and sharing.

Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a signed contract and a $1,000 non-refundable retainer. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be due 2 weeks before the wedding date.
