wedding galleries 

to be hung in your home, cherished in stories, and loved for generations

documentary

see real weddings

As a documentary style photographer, my job is to capture your personality, your love, and your actual experience in photos that feel like YOU...

"are my wedding photos timeless?"

Then the answer is yes.

if you are wondering

ask yourself this:

if the answer is "they do"

"do they feel like me?"

because if there is anything that is timeless

its true love.

GREAT WEDDING PHOTOS ARE GREAT BECAUSE THEY ARE REAL

I believe the best wedding photographs come from trust, connection, and understanding who you are beyond the wedding day itself. 

BUT Great Documentary Photography is not an accident

it is a coordinated effort comprised of

knowing your goals

timeline planning

vendor communication

venue scouting

I spend intentional time getting to know YOU before your wedding

I want to understand how you naturally interact, what makes you feel comfortable, and the little things that define your relationship. Whether it’s how you spend your weekends together, your love languages, or the sentimental details woven throughout your day, these conversations allow me to photograph not just the story of your wedding day but also the story of your relationship.

I LEARN your story, your dynamic, your vision, and WHAT moments matter most

documentary experience

my artistic approach

 My style is documentary with an editorial edge for portraits. I focus on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds while also guiding you when needed to create timeless, editorial portraits.

I ask lots of questions before the wedding to understand you and your vision. By understanding what’s most important to you, I can fully prepare for the moments you’ll want to remember forever. From gift exchanges to family traditions, knowing when and where these will take place means I can prepare lighting and angles so the moment feels natural and organic but the pictures feel intentional and documentary. 

the weddings
& Elopements inquiry form

To secure your date I require the contract to be read and signed and a non refundable retainer of 20% at booking, remaining balance due 30 days before the wedding or session.

I travel between Europe and the US frequently so travel costs differ from each wedding depending on where I am traveling from. In some cases travel may be discounted based on availability and location. Please inquire to receive an accurate quote. All travel weddings/elopements are priced individually depending on location and couples needs but starting price for bare minimum is listed above.

It depends on your wedding size and timeline, but 8-10 hours typically covers everything from getting ready to the main reception events. Extra hours can be added but time cannot be reduced. I only recommend 6 hours if it's a small wedding/elopement and there's no wedding party. I know weddings can be a full weekend celebration, my packages have a la cart options so you can build a custom package that suits your needs.

I highly recommend adding a second shooter to your coverage if you have a large wedding or are seeking a documentary style gallery. A second shooter is great for capturing different angles, candids, and moments happening simultaneously like both partners getting ready or getting both people’s reactions during a reveal moment. 

For weddings and large events I take 10 to 12 weeks for full galleries, but I send sneak peeks within a few days so you have something to share right away!

Yes! I know everyone's situation is different so we can create something that works for you! My current timeline is: 20% retainer at booking, remaining balance due 30 days before the wedding or session. If we need to discuss a custom plan please email me emckenziestudios@gmail.com.

For all circumstances, your retainer is non-refundable. However, you can cancel your session at any time up to one week of your portrait photoshoot, or one month of your wedding. Partial refunds are not guaranteed and will be determined by circumstance and time of cancellation. 

Weddings, particularly with travel, must be booked 8+ months in advance. Shorter timelines may incur rush fees.
