Pricing

We do transparent pricing

that fits… YOU

Who the heck decided that wedding photographers (and all vendors really) shouldn’t put pricing on their sites? I don’t know, but it drove me bonkers when I was looking at vendors for my own wedding. I know you’re busy people who ain’t got time for that, so I’m all for pricing transparency.

I would never dream of telling you that you can’t have 8 hours of photography without an album, or that you have to get a second photographer if you don’t need it. So, build whatever you want!!

Pricing FAQs

This is a great question with a… complicated answer. Sometimes it can be best to talk all about that on the phone (you can schedule a time to do that on my contact page) but, what I can say is for your standard wedding, at a wedding venue, with mostly traditional things happening you’ll need 6-8 hours of photography coverage. If you’re doing things to the beat of your own drum, or having a more low key celebration, you can look at 3-5 hours of coverage to see if it works for you.

Hours of coverage are continuous from the start to end, and second photographer hours need to overlap with the hours that I am photographing your party.

This is one of the most common questions I get asked when folks are building their packages, and here are my usual rules. You don’t need a second photographer if…

  • Your guest count is under 100
  • You are getting ready within a 10 minute drive of each other
  • It is easy to move around your ceremony site
  • There are no rules about where photographers can stand during your ceremony

You do need a second photographer if…

  • Your guest count is over 150
  • Your wedding party is bigger than 7 on each side (so 16 total people)
  • You are getting ready more than a 10 minute drive from each other
  • You want lots of getting ready photos with no moments missed in each getting ready space
  • Detail photos are VERY important to you
  • You don’t want to do a first look, but do want all of your separate wedding party and family photos taken before you see each other at the ceremony
  • Your ceremony space is hard to move around
  • There are only a few places that a photographer is allowed to stand during your ceremony (like many churches)
  • You have a large extended family that might benefit from an extra set of hands organizing them

These rules are not hard and fast, but are a good starting place when you are making the decision to include a second photographer in your wedding package! I’m always happy to talk through your options here in more detail too. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

YES! I love engagement sessions and finding amazing locations from the front range to in the city to take fun photos of you together. Standalone engagement sessions start at $750 and include 50 images, one location, and 45 miles of travel from Denver, Colorado. Hit me up if you want to talk about booking your engagement session 🙂

I love small weddings, elopements, and intimate wedding celebrations just as much as a 150 person party. My pricing is the same for both wedding coverage and elopement coverage, with a minimum of two hours. So head on up to that pricing calculator and see what might fit your needs. I recommend at least two hours at least to start with, but it might surprise you how fast the time flies! If you want photos of you getting ready, or photos at a bar or restaurant after your ceremony, you may need to think about three or four hours of coverage.

Yes! Although, surprise proposals require a lot of extra coordination and planning on my part, so pricing starts at $900 for a one hour proposal session.

90% of the time, no! But, due to high demand in the 2023 wedding season, I’ll be requiring a minimum of 5 hours of coverage or 4 hours of coverage plus an Engagement Session on peak season Saturdays (May-October). Thanks for your understanding!

We are so happy with our decision to hire Kate! Neither me nor my husband are too comfortable in front of the camera and in fact, we even toyed with the idea of not having a photographer at all, but I am SO glad we changed our minds. Looking at the photos now I cannot even imagine not having them. Kate did a fantastic job of capturing the day and really telling a story. She was so good at putting us at ease and just making sure we had a good time and looked like ourselves. You will not regret putting her in charge of capturing your day.
