As your wedding photographer, I will also serve as a resource for timeline planning and location scouting. I will help map out your day so you are able to live fully in the moment and get the most out of your photography coverage.

During the weeks and months leading up to your weddings, I’ll act as a personal guide, offering vendor recommendations, tips and tricks, and more. Feel free to slide into my DM's - I love hearing from my couples as they come across inspiration for their wedding day!

It’s time to capture this special, fleeting season with beautiful photos! Your engagement session is a great opportunity to get comfortable with me and my camera and practice taking pictures together. Plus, you can use the photos for Save the Dates, wedding websites, and more!

If we’re a good fit and you’d like to move forward, I’ll send you a proposal with a contract and invoice to make our partnership official. Once the contract is signed and retainer met, your date is secured on my calendar and you can breathe a sigh of relief! I will be in touch with a welcome note, along with my complete wedding guide and calendar link for you to schedule your engagement session!

Leanne & Adam
The small details, the professionalism, the CARE. It was obvious Janelle cared so much about our day & wanted to make sure all the boxes were ticked. I left everything up to her, and literally could not have imagined a better result. If you want a wedding photographer who will care about your day as if it was their own, HIRE JANELLE!!
If I could give more than five stars, I would. Janelle made our day so special from the second we booked.
Kim & Joey
We hired Janelle for our wedding photography and can't thank her enough for all that she did. When our original venue fell through, we had to pivot and Janelle jumped right in to offer her help with finding a new venue. Her kindness and professionalism are unmatched. I truly believe that our day wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it did without Janelle as our photographer. Thank you endlessly Janelle!
If you're thinking of hiring Janelle for your photos, RUN don't walk!
Morgan & Kyle
Coming from two people who were a bit nervous about having professional photos taken, we are so thankful Janelle was the one to capture our special day. She has such a talent for making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed while capturing all of the special moments. The photos blew away our expectations, and made us feel like we reliving our day all over again.
Janelle is exceptional at what she does, and we will forever be grateful for how special she made our day.
Chloee & Josh
I could not be happier after working with Janelle as our wedding photographer. Janelle is so very kind, humble, sweet and professional and this was evident from the time we booked her, to the time she delivered our photos. Janelle’s attention to detail and direction during our wedding day was excellent, resulting in the most stunning array of photos, which we truly could not be happier with.
" She is beyond talented and is truly a positive ray of sunshine."

FAQ
get in touch >
Still have questions?
I've been told by many clients they felt a sense of ease and comfort while working with me. I am professional, organized and a planner by nature. I thrive on structure, time-lines and love to keep the day running smoothly. At your wedding, I will adapt to my environment. I will provide direction and help guide my couple and groups through poses. While directing, I allow space for interpretation so posing feels more natural to you.
7. What is it like to work with you on our wedding day?
I average 50-60 hours per wedding. This includes consults, timeline planning, engagement session, location scouting, travel, hours worked on wedding day, culling thousands of images, backing up files, editing hundreds of images and delivering client galleries. Also factoring in the expense of photography gear required to effectively capture a full wedding day.
5. Why is wedding photography so expensive?
All clients will be given access to a password protected online gallery where images will be available to download in both high-resolution and web size, which will be available for you to print, share and download.
3. How will our wedding gallery be delivered?
All wedding photography will be edited and delivered within 16 weeks. I will also provide approx. 50-150 preview images (depending on package) within a week of the wedding for you to enjoy while you wait for your full galleries!
2. When Will our wedding gallery be delivered?
You can expect roughly 50 edited images per hour when I am actively shooting your wedding, or 70 images per hour when adding a second shooter.
1. How many images should we expect?
I accept credit cards, email transfers and cash. You will receive an invoice along with the contract at the time of booking. A non-refundable $750 retainer fee is required upon booking to secure date. The retainer fee goes against the total amount owing, and the remainder is due two weeks before the wedding date.
6. How is the payment made?
I would love to see your Pinterest inspiration or to discuss any specific ideas during our final consult call, From a creative standpoint, I do not work best when I am focused on executing from a shot-list, so my only ask is to present your ideas ahead of time.
4. Can we request specific shots?
Your love is special and worth investing in, celebrating, and documenting. And while I can’t freeze a cherished moment in time, I can help you relive it again and again through beautiful, evocative imagery that makes you smile.
If you’re ready to move forward, the next step in the process is to book a consultation call with me. We’ll get to know each other, talk through your options, and find the perfect collection for your love story. I can’t wait to get to know you and share in your joy.
