welcome!

Thank you so much for choosing Way Up North Photography to capture your wedding. I'm very honored and super excited to work with you!

Information
I typically book anywhere from 2-6 hours of coverage for weddings and/or elopements. I spend the majority of the day photographing it as it happens—the candid moments both big and small, the details and decor your worked so hard to put together, and of course, lots of photos of you (the happy bride and groom!) along with your wedding party, family, and friends. A full gallery usually includes at least 100+ images per hour and is typically delivered four weeks after your wedding. I love shooting weddings at any of the amazing venues in the area, and I'm definitely a fan of those mountaintop/forest/backyard ceremonies as well.

Timeline
I can create a customized timeline for your wedding day, if desired! I can help you work out the details so your day will flow smoothly and you get the best photography experience possible. Of course, I always love to have as much time during the wedding day as we can for bride and groom portraits! It's best to schedule your bride and groom portraits during the prettiest light of the day, which is later in the evening/as close to sunset as possible (specific times will vary depending on summer/winter light). I understand that this might not be possible depending on your ceremony and reception times, so if we can't do the bulk of your portraits in the evening, I always suggest scheduling a few minutes during that time to slip away from the party and get a few shots of the two of you in the gorgeous light!

Portraits
I capture a variety of posed and un-posed portraits throughout the day, but mainly focus on those in-between-moments and interactions. I typically get the bulk of the posed group shots done during the formal wedding party and family portrait time—bride and groom, wedding party, and family/friends. I can provide a portrait shot list, if desired, and I’m happy to grab portraits at any time during your day!

Final Thoughts
I'm here to help during the wedding planning process in any way I can, so please don't hesitate to call, text, or email for any reason! I can follow a wedding day timeline and help keep everything on track, but I'm also pretty flexible and tend to go with the flow during the wedding day. I’ve done my fair share of weddings and know what to expect, so just trust me to take care of it and don’t stress!

The most important thing of the day is to have FUN! I want this to be fun for you and for your guests. I laugh, I talk, and I smile a lot. I want your wedding coverage to be as custom to you and your day as possible. I want to photograph all of the special moments and the details you don't want to forget. Don't worry about posing; I have a few ideas and will always direct you into the lighting and pose that looks best.

So relax, have fun, and enjoy this time together and let me do all of the work. I can't wait!
