Photo+Video Packages
One Team. Twice the Story
Why juggle separate vendors when you can have seamless storytelling from one creative team? My combined photo + video packages give you the best of both worlds — stunning photography paired with cinematic video that captures the atmosphere, emotion, and energy of your day. It’s better value than hiring a photographer and a separate videographer.

What is a complimentary engagement session

Are the pictures mine or does the photographer own them?
