We offer both photography and videography coverage. Our photography packages are captured entirely on film by Courtney. For weekend weddings, the minimum cost for photography coverage by Courtney is $5,000. For weekday weddings, elopements or courthouse nuptials, photography coverage by Courtney begins at $3,000 (Monday through Thursday).
I also have a trusted team of studio artists that help me capture video for couples, while I remain the point-of-contact throughout the planning process and retain creative control by editing all weddings my artists capture. My studio artists are personally trained by me (Courtney) and have the same style and approach as I do for all wedding days. I wouldn't be able to do what I do without them! These packages start at $4,000. And just for a quick reminder, my studio artists capture video only while I am the only lead film photographer on my team.
We capture video on super 8 film, camcorder and digital cameras. This is what we call our hybrid style. If you are interested in super 8 film coverage only, we offer customized packages based on hourly video coverage and how long you'd like your final video to be, as well as whether or not you'd like professional audio recorded of your ceremony/vows and speeches. As an add-on, we also offer digital coverage of your ceremony and speeches, if you're interested in having those pieces of your day captured in full. These packages are fully customizable.

Q: What is your turn around time?
A: Photography galleries are typically delivered within 8 weeks, and full video galleries can be expected within 12 to 16 weeks of your wedding date, while the trailer is delivered before that time.
Q: Can you explain how booking a studio artist works?
A: I have studio artists based out of Minneapolis, Madison and New York City. My studio artists are videographers who have worked for me for at least 2 years. They are trained in the same candid, home video style and fly-on-the wall approach. While I will remain your point-of-contact throughout the booking & planning process, they are availalbe for a phone chat if you'd like to meet beforehand! Otherwise they will show up on your wedding day, capture your day, then I will edit everything. Happy to answer any other questions on a call!
Q: Do you travel?
A: Yes, Courtney typically travels all over for weddings while her studio artists stay local to their home base.
Q: How do you go about editing or choosing songs?
A: I will send you a couple questionnaires throughout the planning process to gain insight on your music taste, priorities of the day, and how you and yours exist together in the world. Getting to know you through messages, phone calls (if that's your jam) and Instagram is very helpful for me in my process, as well!
Q: How do we go about booking you or one of your studio artists?
A: Please fill out our contact form and I will get back to you within 24 hours. From there, we can hop on a quick consult call or discuss your options via text or email. Once you have decided on the collection that best fits your day, I will send you a deposit invoice (50% of the total investment) and a contract to fill out. Once both are completed, your day is reserved. Contracts expire within one week of me sending them out.
Q: Do you have a travel fee?
A: I charge travel at cost. For example, round trip flight, car rental (if necessary) and at least two nights hotel accommodations. I usually book these myself then invoice for them once I have that completed. If your wedding is taking place outside of Minneapolis, we charge $40 per traveling hour. If it is over 2 hours outside of Minneapolis, we will likely also require one night hotel stay for safety reasons the night of the wedding.
Q: Do you capture full wedding weekends?
A: Yes, absolutely! I will create a few custom options for you to choose from if you plan to have events over multiple days. That is my favorite way to capture weddings!
