Why I'm Not Raising My Wedding Photography Prices
(Even With Tariffs Looming)
Rising tariffs are shaking up the photography industry, and many are increasing their prices. Here’s why I’m keeping my rates steady, and what that means for your wedding experience.
Wedding photography is facing a new challenge: increasing tariffs on camera equipment and imports that affect everything from lenses to batteries to the smallest gear bag zippers. While many professionals are choosing to raise their rates, I want to take a moment to share why I’m not raising my prices right now and what that means for you.
My couples come first. Always.
Yes, I'm a business owner. But I'm also someone who deeply cares about the people in front of my lens. You're trusting someone with your story, your legacy, your once-in-a-lifetime day. And I take that responsibility very seriously!
Instead of passing the rising costs along to you, I'm choosing to absorb the impact. I invested in some new gear earlier this year in anticipation of these changes, and while things like import fees and shipping costs continue to shift, my goal is to keep your experience untouched. You deserve a photography experience that feels grounded, joyful, and stress-free, not one burdened by economic shifts beyond your control.
Luxury is about care, not just cost.
You're already investing in me, and I want that investment to feel worth it every step of the way. For me, luxury isn't just about price points or packaging. It's about the intentionality, service, and the way you're treated before, during, and after the wedding. That’s the standard I’m committed to!
Custom coverage for every couple.
While I have a starting price for my wedding photography collections, every package I deliver is customized to fit your celebration. No two love stories are the same, and your photography coverage shouldn’t be either. Whether you're planning a multi-day event, an intimate micro wedding or elopement, or something that falls beautifully in between, I’ll work with you to build a collection that reflects your timeline, your priorities, and what matters most.
This approach allows you to invest in what you need, without paying for what you don’t. It’s luxury with intention!
Will my prices stay the same forever? Probably not.
Like any sustainable business, I’ll continue to monitor market shifts and make adjustments when they’re needed. That being said, I promise to be transparent if and when those changes come. For now, I want my couples to feel confident booking with me, knowing that I’m doing everything I can to prioritize their experience.
You are worth it!
Now, enjoy these photos of my sweet angel couple Emily and Josh when Emily and I were visiting our hometown of Boone, NC. Emily and I were in high school together, and now, as fresh thirty year old women, spend most of our time wondering how we got here. She is an incredible, hilarious, gorgeous, and intelligent woman, and it is a blessing to know her and love her! Josh has been such an amazing addition to her life, and I am so glad she found him! I am positive he knows how lucky he is.
