Documentary First. Editorial Always.
the experience
Your wedding day deserves to feel like more than a photoshoot. My approach blends documentary storytelling with intentional editorial direction to create imagery that feels honest, elevated, and timeless.
One of the things I love most about photographing weddings at Ivy Manor is the variety the property offers. Couples can move effortlessly between elegant gardens, architectural details, open lawns, and intimate hidden spaces without ever feeling rushed or needing to leave the venue. The result is a gallery that feels diverse, emotional, and uniquely reflective of your experience.
Most Ivy Manor couples invest between $6,000–$9,000 for wedding photography coverage depending on the length of coverage, wedding weekend events, and additional experiences.
