Wedding Photography

let's set the vibes:

All you have to do is spend time with those you love most; no performing for the camera here! The magic in authentic wedding photographs come from a release of expectations, lowering of guards, and immersing in the present moment. The more you just enjoy time with your favorite people, the more authentic your gallery will be. So bring on the open-mouth laughter, ugly crying, and sweaty dance floor moves.

Capturing what you're living,
rather than what you're expecting.

An Umnatched talent for

seeing light and shadows

“I cannot say enough about Athena to adequately explain how AMAZING she is. She first shot my brother’s wedding, then my sister’s, and this summer she photographed my own wedding. My only regret is that I am now out of siblings and we don’t have another wedding for her to photograph!! She is an incredible human being, she has an unmatched talent for seeing light, shadow, and architecture, and she is able to capture emotions of the day that many other talented artists couldn’t. She loves what she does, she loves her clients, and she truly cares.”

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?

Engagement sessions are always included in your wedding package! Think of them as less of a reason to prove you are engaged, and more of a reason for us to get comfortable with one another before I pop into your getting ready room on such an intimate day. In addition to getting to know each other more, breaking down the anticipation of “what will it be like to be photographed” plays a huge role in staying present on your wedding day. Engagement sessions tend to be structured like a date that you plan for yourself, and I’m the third wheel! 🙂

HOW ARE OUR IMAGES DELIVERED?

I deliver everything in a online gallery, from which you can download in either web or high resolution! You can download as many times as you’d like, and can send the gallery to friends and family so they can do the same.

DO YOU OFFER PRINTS OR ALBUMS?

Yes! You can order prints, canvases, cards, and more directly through your online gallery! I also offer albums, but there are so many customizable options that we will work closely to make the perfect one for you.

HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU DELIVER?

I generally deliver about 75-100 images per hour for weddings, and 150-200 total for engagement sessions. It’s so hard to choose between your smiles, so chances are if you and your partner are super giggly and cuddly, we’ll deliver a bunch!

DO YOU WORK WITH A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?

I work with a second photographer for about half of our weddings! Seconds are most helpful when you are getting ready at two separate locations, there are large wedding parties and/or a large guest count.

HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?

Weddings require a deposit of 50% and contract signature. We can do that all electronically sent right to your email.
