hello

soon-to-be married couple!

First off, congratulations on your engagement! I believe in being transparent and upfront about my packages. As you're budgeting and planning your new life. I am aware of the research that goes into planning a wedding day.. that's why I make my packages clear from the start.


Although I offer affordable options, I bring a white-glove approach to every wedding and elopement. I believe everyone deserves high-quailty storytelling from their special day without breaking the bank. Elopement packages start out at $500, while wedding packages range from $800-$1500, depending on travel requirements (milage and if it requires an overnight stay) and the hours of coverage needed.

The Treasured Moments Photography Experience....


One day you'll look back on your wedding day with your partner and loved ones, reaching for the album on your shelf. While the memories will stay with you, your photos will tell the story for those who weren't there.

As your wedding photographer, my role is to capture the essence of your special day and create a lasting legacy for future generators. From our first consultation to your complimentary engagement session and through your wedding day. I'll be by your side, taking care of the details. I'm there to capture the joy, laughter, emotion, and beauty of your wedding day. I love it when my couples relax, go with the flow, and enjoy themselves. I'll create you a timeline if you need it, bring along items that might be forgotten about that someone might need during the wedding day, and collaborate with you to design a TREASURED MOMENTS album to look back on.

Amazing couples have entrusted me to photograph their wedding and capture the memories that will remind them of their wedding day forever. I bring all that experience to your wedding. I know how to put you at ease if you’re nervous about having photos taken and I’m here to help every step of the way if needed. When it comes to the experience of having me as your wedding photographer.

Whether you're getting married in a field with a barn with 500 guests or on a mountaintop with your closest friends and family, I'd love to be there to capture the day that marks the start of your married lives together.

With the 2026 wedding season underway, with many weddings already booked. I've been adapting my editing style to focus on light & airy to true color. As you browse through my work, you'll see my first few weddings, which represent my early experimentation with learning my style I was aiming to establish. I believe in embracing growth is vital for all photographers, and looking back on my beginnings and favorite highlights from weddings showing how far my work has developed.

STEP 01

 

Consultation

If you think we're a good fit, lets grab coffee, do a phone chat, or text over the phone. I will learn more about your wedding dreams and discuss next steps for securing your date with a contract and deposit.

STEP 02

 

Engagement Photos

This package is for all wedding packages with 4+ hours of coverage. I will work with you to travel to destination sessions or have local areas to use for this. We'll get to know each other here and capture more perfect photos for your invite, save the dates, or announcements.

I love capturing the “in-between” moments, the candid shots that bring out the raw emotions surrounding your special day. These are the moments that make up your story.

STEP 03

 

Questionnaire & Gallery

Questionnaire: I will send this out 2 months prior to your wedding day. By providing me with detailed information, I can create a timeline to ensure all special moments are captured and be able to make the family portrait sessions go smoothly. Once this is filled out I will be back in contact with you to just go over anything, if I have any questions.

Gallery: Sneak peeks will be giving within days of the wedding, and your full digital gallery will arrive within 30-60days of your wedding date. I will email you a private gallery link (same link as your engagement session) where you can view, download, and share your images and order any professional prints and products.

After your gallery is sent I send out another questionnaire but this time its a feedback and is optional to do. Where you can tell me what you thought of your session and leave a review.  


STEP 04

 

Wedding day & Delivery

When the special day arrives, I will be by your side to ensure I capture all the moments while helping you stay present in them. I am more than just your hired photographer for the day I am your best friend.


I bring an associate with me on all wedding packages 4+ hours. Trust me you want this.. Why you might ask..

Coverage from Multiple Angles: While I focus on the main events, my second shooter captures different angles and candid moments, ensuring we don’t miss a beat.

Extra Details: They help cover additional details like décor, guests mingling, and reactions, enriching the story of your day.

Backup: Having a second shooter also adds a layer of backup, so all your special moments are doubly secure.

She is there is there to complement my work, ensuring that we capture the full depth of your celebration. She enable me to provide a richer, more comprehensive gallery of your big day!


Gallery/USB Delivery: Your wedding gallery will be delivered via email once it’s complete. At that time, we can meet locally for your USB drive, or I’m happy to mail it directly to you.

"I absolutely loved having Mandie as my photographer. She showed up on time, got everything set up, made sure she photographer everything that I wanted and more! She kept me on time with everything and made us laugh! She posed us perfectly for each picture and even let us change it up if we wanted to. She even helped with the times to walk down the aisle. She got the most candid photos, especially of my daughter doing her "makeup" when we were getting ready. I love working with her and you guys will to!"

My husband and myself decided to elope out of the blue one day and only had about over a month to plan. Mandie worked with us so well for such a short time frame! On the day of our ceremony she made sure we got every picture we could have wanted and got my good pictures with both of my boys (3&1 at the time)! I highly recommend Mandie for any and all of your photography needs!

Mandie was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. She made both our engagement session and wedding day feel so easy and natural, even when we were nervous in front of the camera. Her attention to detail and ability to capture real emotions is something truly special. Every photo feels authentic and beautifully done, and we could not be happier with how everything turned out.
