You know your wedding photography experience extends WAY beyond your wedding day. That’s why I form long-lasting relationships with my couples so you have the most candid, loving, and breathtaking imagery possible. Get ready to laugh, joke, hug, and celebrate with each other and get photos that capture your love so uniquely you won’t believe they’re yours.
With AJP, you get more than incredible photos of the greatest day of your life. You get a friend who captures both the big moments and the spontaneous can’t-believe-that-just-happened moments.
Wedding collections begin with full day coverage, an engagement session, and a high resolution edited gallery delivered via online gallery.
Outside of the Carolinas or planning a destination wedding? Contact me for a custom package. Will travel for love stories!
I'm a person who loves to know details! I love information and doing my research, I also love when everything is laid out to me (do car dealerships bug you too?) Most of my couples share this trait with me. Don't see your answer here? Let's chat!
My editing style I describe as true to life vibrant colors, with natural skin tones. Photos that will remain timeless for generations to come. My shooting style, is a mix of traditional posed, candid & in between moments. The traditional posed photos for parents & grandparents, with lots of candid. Sometimes there are moments where I will need to be in charge, during posed portraits, family formals, etc. I can handle the rowdiest of crowds. There are also some moments, I will be a fly on the wall. Always making sure we are in the best lighting capturing authentic moments.
Yes I do require a planner. Though I highly recommend a partial or full service planner, I only require couples to have a professional day of coordinator on their wedding day. These are the biggest stress relief on your wedding day! Family member & wedding party (or goodness you!) running around trying to keep everything together, setting up & coordinating your vendor team, is the last thing needed on weddings days. Day of coordinators must be a legal business, and may not be an immediate family member or in the wedding party. Venue coordinators and Venue managers do not qualify as day-of coordinator, as they are there specifically for the venue and not the couple.
I include an engagement session in every wedding package. You are not required to use it, but it's one of my favorite ways to get to know you as a couple. Most people have never had professional pictures done, and none of my couples are models. Getting in front of the camera can be very nerve wrecking, which is the last thing you want to experience on your wedding day. We get all those nerves out of the way at your engagement session, we fly through all the formalities of the day, and some of my favorite inside jokes with my couples come from their engagement sessions. I travel all over for engagement sessions, especially for out of state couples.
I do! I shoot on both medium format film & 35 mm film. Film is beautiful, and my editing style is based on recreating the look of film. Shooting film takes out the middle man, and film gets developed, and delivered to me digitally almost perfect. Film also has its time and place. The right lighting, the right moments, so I do shoot both digitally & on film.
Multi Day coverage is available. From welcome parties, day after brunches, Indian weddings, and rehearsal & rehearsal dinners. Custom packages to cover your unique wedding celebration are available upon request, and something we can talk about during our consultation.
Your final gallery will be delivered within 6 weeks of your wedding date. Don't worry though, there will always be lots of sneak peeks in your inbox within 24 hours of your wedding date.
I average 75-85 images per hour that I am shooting. I love delivering our client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery. You will have the ability to print, share and download your images as much as you want. Online galleries stay up for one year, but you will also be receiving a USB drive with the same files on it to keep for a lifetime. I believe in freely sharing my work because that is what I would want if I were in your shoes!
Videography is available alone & as a package deal with Photography. Booking Photo & Video together adds on an additional team member to your day. Options to add on videography can be as simple as a ceremony film to remember you full ceremony, to a 7- 8 minute feature film. We work together for a cohesive flow, and to quickly finish all the formalities that come with wedding day coverage so you spend as most time with you guests & having fun! There are so many amazing videographers out there, that I always encourage my couples to look around as there are so many different editing/shooting styles out there! I have a list of referrals, I would love to share with you of videographer of varying styles who I love working with.
