Wedding Investment Guide
Choosing a photographer is one of the most meaningful decisions you'll make for your wedding day. I don't take that lightly. I want you to feel completely taken care of, fully present, and able to soak in every moment knowing nothing is being missed. I'm so glad you're here.
A wedding day has a lot of moving parts, and I'm here for all of them. I'll know when to step in and guide you and when to step back and just let things unfold. Because some of the best moments happen when no one's looking.
For most of my couples, that means documenting everything from getting ready in the morning to the emotional send-off at the end of the night. The quiet moments with your families before the ceremony. The tears during toasts. The dancing. All of it.

On a personal level
My husband Dylan and I have been married for seven years, and our own wedding is honestly what started all of this. Something about that day made me realize this was what I was supposed to do. And it still what drives my work.
Together we've built a little family with our husky, Atlas, and we love to travel whenever we can. Switzerland and Iceland are still on the list, but some of our favorites so far have been Hawaii, Oregon, Maine, and the Bahamas.
At home I'm the planner and organizer of all things. Our friends will tell you that before you even ask. I love hosting and putting together intimate gatherings; and more than anything we just cherish the time we get to spend with the people we love.

Before anything else, I want us to actually get to know each other. This is a big decision, and I want you to feel completely confident before we move forward. We'll schedule a complimentary discovery call — a FaceTime call or an in-person meeting, whatever works best for you.

After our conversation I'll send over a customized proposal, invoice, and contract. Take your time looking it over. I want you to feel good about every part of it. Once the retainer is paid and the contract is signed, it's official.

This is where the relationship really begins. I'll send helpful guides for your engagement session and wedding planning, and I'm always available for questions along the way. About a month before the wedding, I'll send a questionnaire so we can build your personalized timeline together.

Take a deep breath. You've planned every detail of this day, and now it's time to actually live it. I'll be right there with you, taking care of everything behind the lens so you don't have to think about a thing.
The Big Day

Within 48 hours you'll have sneak peeks in your inbox. From there I'll spend weeks carefully editing your full gallery — around 50 images per hour of coverage, the best of the best, and deliver it to you within 6 weeks of your wedding day.

"Couldn't recommend a better photographer"
Mirsa wasn't only a wonderful photographer she’s also a great person/friend! We found Mirsa on Google and the second we met her she didn’t feel like a stranger!
If you’re looking for a professional, fun, and down to earth person to cover your special events I couldn’t recommend a better photographer to get the job done!

A second shooter is someone I personally trust to show up for your day the way I do so that between the two of us, nothing gets missed.
What is a second shooter?
Second Shooters
What jobs do they fulfill?
- Making sure you don't accidentally see each other until you're ready.
- Getting shots of the same moment from different and creative angles.
- Taking photos of the groom and groomsmen while I take photos of the bride and bridesmaids.
- Running to grab the forgotten bouquet or the stray family member that wandered off during family photos.
- Focusing on your loved ones’ reactions.
- Getting candid shots of your guests during cocktail hour
- and so much more than either of us could plan for.
A second shooter typically adds over 200 images to your gallery. More angles, more moments, more of the day you'll want to remember.

Engagement Sessions
Most people feel a little awkward in front of a camera at first and that's completely normal. The engagement session is really about getting comfortable with each other before the wedding day, in a setting that's relaxed and low pressure. By the end I promise you'll forget the camera is even there.
Here's what's included:
90 minutes · 1-2 outfits · 1-2 locations · Online gallery · Polaroid prints
After booking I'll send you a guide with location ideas, outfit suggestions, and everything else you need to feel prepared and excited for the session.

Sample Timeline
A good timeline creates space to be present with the people you love instead of rushing from one thing to the next.
If you have a wedding planner, I'll work seamlessly alongside their timeline. If you don't, no worries — building it together is part of what I do. Here's a general guide for how much time I recommend for each part of the day.

Some days can't be contained to a set number of hours. Full day coverage gives your wedding the room it deserves, from the first quiet moments of getting ready to the grand exit at the end of the night.

A EARTFELT THANK YOU
I don't take lightly the fact that I get to do this. Being trusted to document the most important day of someone's life is something I will never stop being grateful for.
So thank you, truly, for even considering me as part of yours.
More than anything, I want my presence on your wedding day to feel like a calming one. Someone you don't have to think about, because you already know everything is being taken care of.
Enjoy every moment of this season — the planning, the dreaming, all of it. I can't wait to walk into your wedding morning ready to give you photos you'll return to for the rest of your life.
All my best,
Mirsa
