PICK YOUR COLLECTION & ANY ADD-ONSI offer a number of different wedding day packages to ﬁt a variety of needs. My wedding collections are simpliﬁed so you can build your own custom package, this way you get exactly what you want! Add-ons include things like an engagement session, second shooter, additional hours, rehearsal dinner coverage, and more.SCHEDULE A CALLGo through the collections and FAQs, then let’s pick a time to hop on a Zoom or quick Facetime call together! This way we can go over everything you’re envisioning, and any questions you have. Feel free to come with a cup of coffee or your drink of choice in your pjs or sweats - that’s likely what you’ll see me in!LOCK IT INIf you’ve decided you’re ready to move forward the ﬁrst step is to pick your package and any add-ons. I’ll send over a contract for you to sign and set up a payment plan for you. I require a 25% deposit when you book which you can pay online through the contract or by sending a check. Then pop the bubbly because you’ve just booked your photographer!For weddings, I’ll be in touch about securing a date for your engagement session if needed, and about 1 month before your date I’ll be in touch to nail down your wedding day timeline. You are always welcome to email or text me - I can be slow to respond in busy seasons so please allow 48 hours for a reply!MAKE IT YOURSBefore we shoot together, gather some inspiration of photos that you love the feeling of. This helps me see your vision and bring those elements into your photos in a way that feels authentic to you. I’ll also send over a questionnaire to gather some extra details that will help me make the experience the best it can be for you. I honestly love when people share their Pinterest boards, but it is not necessary to come with every shot you’re wanting (bride walking down aisle, bridal party, etc.). I’ve got you covered with nearly 100 weddings under my belt. I do ask for a family photo list (all the groupings that you’d like formal photos with) to make that part of the day go smoothly and quickly.HOW THIS WORKS2025 WEDDING COLLECTION PRICING07

02 MY PHOTOGRAPHY PHILOSOPHYI BELIEVE:* that photography is a beautiful, tangible way to tell a story* in creating photos that show real, authentic love* that love looks different for every couple* in providing couples with authentic and creative images that memorialize and celebrate a specific time in their lives and relationship* that what an image represents is more important than the image itself* that photography should be natural and genuine, not fake or pose-y* that it is an honor to witness and capture real moments and real emotions between a couple* that photos are an investment to enjoy forever* that photography should be fun. Seriously, we’re going to have a lot of fun.SHOOTING PHILOSOPHYEMELIA K PHOTOGRAPHY08

On a wedding day, I love authenticity, personal wedding details, natural light andlots of time for portraits. I love working with couples whose focus is on one another and whoaren’t afraid of showing emotion and embracing a moment. I love couples who trust me to see and capture spontaneous and real moments of their day (rather than giving me a long list of shots and poses). I love getting to know a couple throughout the process and counting them as new friends.I believe your photos are worth investing in. They are one of the only tangible pieces you’ll be able to take away from your day to enjoy forever. TO ME, BEING A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER DOESN’T START AND END WITH ME. I ENJOY GETTING TO KNOW WHO I’M PHOTOGRAPHING AND CREATING A RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE WHEN I START TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE NUANCES, QUIRKS, AND QUALITIES THAT MAKE YOUR LOVE UNIQUE, IT ALLOWS ME TO TRANSLATE THAT INTO MEANINGFUL PHOTOGRAPHS, NOT JUST PRETTY PICTURES.SHOOTING PHILOSOPHY10

REHEARSAL DINNER COVERAGEWhether you’re gathering around a bonﬁre for dinner, playing cornhole in your backyard, or sharing drinks and stories around the table, kicking off your wedding weekend is where so many memories are made. It’s a perfect time to capture laid back candids of your closest friends and family being them-selves. Plus, it gives me the chance to meet everyone beforehand so they’re comfortable in front of the camera on your big day. Let me know what you’ve got planned for your wedding weekend and how we can incorporate this into documenting your story.• Includes 2 hours of coverage.ADD-ONSStarting at $600DAY AFTER SESSIONYour wedding day may likely be one of the only times that you’ll have all your people in one place to-gether, and you should be present with them and savor every moment of it. Instead of taking you away for an hour of your wedding day for portraits, we save that for a session the day after. I’ll of course still grab a few photos of just you two on the wedding day, but this way we can feed two birds with one scone. You get to soak up all the magic of your wedding day and have a stress free shoot with no time crunch. It also helps gives us the chance to shoot beyond your venue in a beautiful location during golden hour or sunrise. • Includes 2 hours of coverage.Starting at $750ENGAGEMENT SESSIONThis is one of my favorite parts! Engagement sessions are easy to add on to any package and I truly believe they are a vital part of the wedding experience as a whole. Engagement sessions are the time where we get to know each other, I get to see how you interact together, and you become comfortable in front of my camera. We get to shoot in any location you choose, you can wear what you’re comfort-able in, and there’s no guests begging for your attention. It’s just you guys and me, unfolding your love story. Engagement sessions are typically 1 hour.$650EMELIA K PHOTOGRAPHY14

ADD-ONS CONTINUED SECOND SHOOTERIf you’re getting ready in separate locations (I can typically cover both if we have a plan for it, talk to me about your plans to see if this is a good ﬁt for you), or are having a large wedding over 100 people, I recommend adding on a second shooter. They help me capture moments I may miss when there’s a lot going on or I can’t be in two places at once.$100/ hour - 4 hour minimumRUSH TURNAROUNDMy wedding turnaround time is typically 10 weeks, but if you’d like all your photos back within 10 days of your wedding this is a great option. If you’re eloping or having a small wedding where you can’t have all your people attending, this may help them feel like they were there with you. $500EXTRA HOURSIf you need an extra hour added onto your coverage, whether it’s during booking or the day of. Some-times things run behind schedule - you don’t need to be stressed about a time crunch on my behalf. I’ll capture all of it.$400 / hour2025 WEDDING COLLECTION PRICING17

Why spend a significant portion of your wedding budget on photos that will only be seen on Instagram and your iPhone? I can’t stress the importance of printing your photos enough! It can be so easy to say you’ll create an album someday, or that you’ll do it yourself. Trust me, I’ve been there! To be totally honest with you, I said no to an album from my wedding photographer because I thought I could do it myself and save some money. After hours of my time and many tears trying to work with an online album builder, I finally caved and had a professional take over.Save yourself the time by ordering a professional handcrafted leather or linen bound album. I take the work out of the process by designing your album and sending you a proof that you can look over and edit. You also have the freedom to design albums in your online gallery. You’ll be able to view your photos on items ranging from thank you cards to canvases. By having an album that is also a work of art, I guarantee you’ll be looking at your photos far more often. 8X8 LEATHER ALBUM$800.00ALBUMS & EXTRAS8X8 PARENT ALBUM$400.0010X10 LEATHER ALBUM$1,000.00ADDITIONAL SPREADS$75/SPREAD12X12 LEATHER ALBUM$1,200.00WALNUT PRESENTATION BOX$300.002025 WEDDING COLLECTION PRICING19

However, if something goes awry (looking at you, COVID!) and you need to change your date, your deposit could be transfered to your new date.Q: How do you accept payment?A: I have an online payment system that you can access once you sign a contract. I also accept mailed checks if that is more convenient.Q: What do we do if it’s raining on our wedding day or engagement session?A: I’m happy to work with you to find a new date for an engagement session if the weather is poor. However, don’t be afraid of rain! I’ve photographed a number of outdoor weddings in a complete downpour, and let me tell you the photos turned out epic. Whatever happens on your day, I am all in!Q: How many images can we expect from our engagement or wedding?A: The number of images depends on the amount of coverage hours.

The benefit of a second shooter is really during your ceremony or first look to get multiple angles, and if you’re getting ready in different locations.

An engagement session is typically 1 hour and we can work together to pick the perfect location.Q: Does it cost to have you travel to our wedding?
