Our approach to Weddings
The key to a successful event is comfort.
Our goal as photographers is to document the organic side of you and yours, and the people you’ve chosen to spend your days with. Rather than barking orders and telling your guests to do things our way, we prefer to find those little ways they show how much they love you. Like the glances, touches, and laughs. The gestures and the jokes. And we’ve been known to throw around some jokes, too.
With two of us behind the lens, we’re able to get the action and reactions during those favorite moments. We have two unique and complementary styles that allow for your story to be told from start to finish in a way that makes you feel like yourselves. Few people feel fully comfortable in front of the camera, but we find the ways that make your natural selves emerge. We always include a practice session with our wedding contracts as an ice breaker, a get-to-know-you session. Without a doubt, we find a number of commonalities between us that deepen our relationship into more of a friendship rather than the hired help. When all is said and done, we love these connections with our clients, and capturing their love story is just the beginning of that chapter in our lives.
Our goal as storytellers is to be sure all of our clients enjoy reliving their love story in an album. While we offer two styles of albums, not every contract includes one and you can choose at any point after your wedding to have us design one for you. Our wedding clients invest an average of $5500.
Now that you’ve found us, what happens next?
Once you’ve submitted an inquiry with us, we will set up a time when we can all meet, either virtually or in person. Google Meet has been an awesome way for us to connect at times that are convenient for everyone. We invite you into our workspace to first learn about the two of you and offer a glimpse into the Love Wins process of capturing your unique love story. We will then share our brochure that spells out some of the many options you can choose from that suit your specific needs. After the contract is chosen and signed, a 50% retainer will be required to save the date with Love Wins as your photographers, the balance due on your wedding day. We only book one wedding per weekend of availability so that we can devote our full attention to you. Engagement Sessions are included and can be scheduled at any time after you are officially on our calendar, during any season. We have been known to spend a day on the slopes, enjoying some brews, meeting up for a date in the city, or taking a journey around to some natural features that Vermont is so famous for. Share with us your inspiration and ideas for our practice session together and we will create a uniquely fun time to document.
Where do surprise proposals and elopements fall?
Surprise Proposals may just be the funnest things to plan. They are always an adventure, require a great deal of planning and off-the-cuff shooting, and always involve the element of surprise. We work with our clients to create a plausible story, a plan for their proposal including a playbook for them to study, and the quiet patience required to be sure we don’t draw attention to ourselves. We allow the moment to unfold before our eyes, documenting it in real-time. Then, we reveal ourselves and take a few more casual poses to document the momentous occasion. Proposals begin at $450.
Elopements are simply weddings that require less to-dos, fewer players, and often an element of adventure. Whether it is on top of a mountain, exchanging private vows before the larger ceremony, or a small gathering of the most important people, elopements provide just as much emotion and foster the same amount of love as a more traditional wedding affair. As two people who chose to elope as a way to send a message to our blended family that simply stated: we are here for you no matter what, we can appreciate these intimate affairs and love the opportunity to capture those love stories exactly as they were intended to be - full of love. Elopements begin at $1500 for two hours of coverage.
