What to Expect When You Work With Me

Your wedding day will unfold like a beautiful blur of moments. The quiet anticipation, the spontaneous embraces, the joyful tears, the organized chaos, the pure celebration—my purpose is to capture it all with artistry and intention. These are the questions couples ask most often, and I'm here to make everything feel clear and effortless.

Photography has been my passion almost my entire life—I even majored in it in college—but it was my absolute love of wildlife photography that unexpectedly led me into the wedding world. My husband and I spent countless weekends exploring Colorado's wilderness, cameras in hand, capturing the state's incredible wildlife.

Through our adventures, friends and family began requesting portraits, drawn to the artistry they saw in our wildlife work. When a dear friend asked me to photograph her wedding, I was hesitant. "I'm a wildlife photographer," I told her. She laughed and said in her  Russian accent, "Your moose are beautiful—please shoot my wedding!"

So I did. And I absolutely fell in love with wedding photography.

There's something magical about the patience, timing, and instinct required for wildlife photography that translates beautifully to capturing authentic moments between people. Both require you to anticipate the perfect moment, to be ready when something extraordinary unfolds.

That's why Antler Run Photography honors both my roots in wildlife photography and my love for Colorado's majestic landscape. It's also why all my wedding collections are named after Colorado's native wildlife—elk, moose, deer, and other majestic animals that call our mountains home—a tribute to where this journey began and the wild beauty that still inspires every frame I capture.

Begin by completing my contact form, and I'll respond within 24 hours to arrange either a call or we can meet over coffee where we can get to know each other and explore your wedding vision together.

I’ve simplified my pricing with one base package and customizable options, so you can build coverage that fits your day — without paying for extras you don’t want.

All collections offer timeline support, unlimited planning guidance, a 72-hour sneak peek, and a beautifully edited online gallery. Heirloom albums, fine-art prints, and keepsake pieces are available to add based on your priorities.

Engagement sessions are available as an add-on and give us time to connect before the wedding day arrives.

Complete wedding galleries typically contain 600–900 professionally edited images, while elopements and shorter celebrations include 200–400. I never restrict based on arbitrary numbers. I edit and deliver every useable image minus duplicates. 

Your sneak peek collection arrives within 72 hours of your celebration. Complete galleries are delivered within 8–10 weeks, as each image is personally hand-edited to ensure consistency, beauty, and authentic storytelling. No shortcuts—only care and craftsmanship.

Yes! A second photographer is available for $500 per four hours of coverage.
It’s perfect if you want extra angles, more candids, or coverage in multiple places at once.

I'm excited to share that I've teamed up with two incredibly talented videographers, and together we're now offering a combo package!

Absolutely. Based near Denver, I photograph celebrations throughout Colorado and beyond. Share where your love story is unfolding, and I'll discuss any travel arrangements needed for your destination.

You're in wonderful company—most couples express this concern, then discover how enjoyable the experience becomes. I provide gentle direction when helpful while creating space for authentic moments to unfold naturally. And if your beloved pet is joining the celebration? I'm already enchanted. Extra points for formal accessories.

Completely. I maintain full licensing and insurance, plus comprehensive backup equipment—multiple camera bodies, lenses, memory cards, batteries, and complete backup systems. I also have trusted photographer colleagues available for true emergencies, though I've never missed a celebration. Your peace of mind is paramount. I am happy to provide a certificate [COI] to your venue

Once you've selected your collection, a signed agreement and retainer investment secures your wedding date. From there, I'll coordinate your timeline planning, engagement session (if included), and every detail to ensure your photography experience unfolds seamlessly.

 

I offer a simple 8-hour wedding photography package starting at $2,850.
It includes full wedding-day coverage and a beautifully edited, easy-to-share online gallery.

From there, you can personalize your coverage with optional add-ons to fit your priorities and your budget.
Payment plans are always available — I’m happy to help make it work.
