EVERY LOVE STORY is
DIFFERENT
Your wedding day isn’t just a date on the calendar — it’s a collection of moments you’ll never live twice. The way you look at each other, the way your friends laugh, the way your families celebrate together — those details are uniquely yours.
That’s why we don’t believe in cookie-cutter packages. We believe in building your coverage around you — your priorities, your timeline, and the moments that will matter most in 10, 20, 50 years.
Why we don't do cookie cutter packages.
your wedding day investment includes:
From there, we customize everything — from extra hours, to film photography, videography, custom designed engagement sessions, rehearsal dinner coverage, or parent albums — so you get exactly what you need without paying for what you don’t.
Anything between 4-6 hours is considered a micro wedding or elopement and will be quoted at a different price point. Please inquire for more information.

INTERVIEW and CONSULTATION
You'll start by filling out a form on our Contact Page. We'll schedule a face to face introduction where we will hear more about you and the vision you have for your wedding!

Get To Know Your Photographer
After booking, your photographer will be anxious to get to know you better! We want to know your likes, dislikes, dreams and vision for your wedding photos. We can meet over drinks or zoom if it's more convenient. Your engagement session is also great way to get started and for you to begin to feel comfortable in front of the camera.

WEDDING DAY
PREMIER NIGHT
your private photo reveal party
My husband and I met Karin and Halie at a wedding expo. There were so many vendors there all trying to get your attention with their flashy booths and gimmicks trying to pull you in. When we came across EVP, we were actually asked what was important to US. We had already looked into some of the bigger, popular photographers that are highly publicized everywhere, but after meeting with a few of those companies, we felt like just “another client”. In that initial conversation, we knew that EV was different. We connected very soon after and were blown away by their sincerity, passion, and knowledge. They saw us individuals; not just “another job”. We truly feel like they could be our friends. . They were amazingly organized and thorough in their approach to our vision and did an AMAZING job. EV Photography puts all of the special touches into their work and kind gestures towards their clients. There is NO OTHER PHOTOGRAPHER LIKE THEM! It was worth every penny that we spent and it truly felt like having a trusted friend shoot our day versus some nameless photographer from a big company that you meet the day of your wedding. We cannot recommend them enough!

Digital files are convenient — but they live on hard drives, phones, and in forgotten folders. An heirloom album lives in your hands, your home, and your family’s story.
It’s what your kids will pull off the shelf years from now to see who you were on that day. It’s the tangible record of your joy, your vows, your people — something you can feel, turn the pages of, and relive without needing a password.
When you choose EV photography you're not just walking away with beautiful photos, your walking way with your first family heirloom.
WHY YOUR ALBUM
MATTERS MORE
than FILES
INQUIRE
