A PHOTOGRAPHY PROPOSAL FOR:
Alysa & Riley
June 30th, 2025
BOULDER, COLORADO
An eye for your family’s legacy.
My job as your photographer is to document the atmosphere, moments, and surprises that reveal themselves on your wedding day. And ultimately to give you photographs that will become a part of your family’s legacy.
Alysa & Riley
You're getting married at the Boulder Creek at Wedgewood, surrounded by 150 of your closest friends and family who traveled to celebrate you and your love for one another. Ultimately, you want a photographer who cares as much about the experience as you do about the outcome.
And that’s a good thing because as your wedding photographer, I want you to focus on being present, focus on each other, and focus on enjoying your time with your guests. Meanwhile, I’ll focus on documenting your connections and the emotion of the day. And creating timeless images that will age well and connect your memories to the moment as you relive the day through your photographs.
When talking with JoAnn, she mentioned the following is important:
Time to spend with friends and family so that you can experience the moments of the day
An elevated experience for your guests
Natural & honest photographs - nothing cookie cutter or overly forced
Images of both the big moments and small details
Images that give a sense of place & capture the scenery
You appreciate a more artistic approach
Your Mom (Ann) appreciates traditional photos that will age well
“Preston captured the most honest, emotional, and beautiful moments for us that we will cherish for a lifetime.”
— Katie & Sean

Collection 1
10 hours of Coverage
2nd Photographer
Engagement Session
Box Set of 50 Custom Printed
4x6 Prints700+ Images Delivered
This selection includes everything you need to relive the experience of the entire day with your guests.
The additional hours of coverage allow us to be there while you’re getting ready and straight through the send-off or last dance and even into the after-party.
Fact: The more at ease you are, the better your photos will be. An engagement session allows you to get comfortable in front of my camera and allows me to get to know you two more deeply. We can go somewhere with sentimental significance. Or I've got plenty of places to offer up. Regardless, you’ll get beautiful photos - of the engagement and eventually the wedding day.
Collection 2
8 hours of Coverage
2nd Photographer
550+ Images Delivered
This selection includes everything you need to tell the entire story of the day.
Your images are in good hands - regardless of who is taking them. Because unlike others I have a pool of second photographers who have the same skill set, ethics and approach. And by having two photographers at your wedding, we’ll be able to get photos in two places at once - which means even more memories to look back on.
Collection 3
8 hours of coverage
1 Photographer
400+ Images Delivered
This selection includes the essentials. With this collection, you’ll receive just what you need to relive the ceremony & reception without getting overwhelmed or too pinched for time.
Explanation of Services
Additional information about each of the above collections.
Timeline + Shot List Support
Your day is yours. And so is your timeline. So tell me what you want and need, and I’ll be there to make it happen. That being said, I’m happy to help you two figure out what you want and need. So, before the day arrives, I’ll send a simple questionnaire that will help uncover your priorities. Then we’ll do a phone call or meet in person to review it together and hash out any final details. I’ll look for any possible pinch points that might reveal themselves, and we’ll come up with a game plan to ensure that we get the photos you want without giving up time with your friends & family.
Black & White + Color
When you get your final collection of images, you’ll receive 75% of them in color. However, B&W transcends time, so I like to throw some in for good measure. And by removing the color from a photograph, you’ll be able to simply focus on the form and content on the images. Which means the photos will age well.
Fast Turnaround Time
You shouldn’t have to wait to relive the day. That’s why, within 48-hrs, I’ll send over previews of a few of my favorites. And then the full gallery will arrive 4-6 weeks later.
Online Proofing Gallery + Digital Archive
The online viewing gallery features all of the photos of your day and makes it easy to view, share, and even download. It also gives each of your family members and friends the ability to pick favorites. And because I personally edit the photos, you can feel confident that the high-resolution images on that gallery will actually look like the day played out.
Personal Use Rights + Digital Archive
Your high-resolution images are yours. You own them. So download them and do whatever you want with them. (But personally, I recommend showing them off.)
Engagement Sessions
Fact: The more at ease you are, the better your photos will be. An engagement session allows you to get comfortable in front of my camera and allows me to get to know you two more deeply. We can go somewhere with sentimental significance. Or I've got plenty of places to offer up. Regardless, you’ll get beautiful photos - of the engagement and eventually the wedding day.
Wedding Day Coverage
Here’s the thing: Regardless, of the amount of time you select, I’ll show up and shoot the sh*t out of it. I’ll pack light and blend in. And I’ll focus on the day holistically rather than exclusively the two of you. To be clear, I want to get good photos of you two, but I want it to be easy and natural and not overly contrived. And I want the collection of photos you end up with to tell the full story of the day.
Second Photographer
Your images are in good hands - regardless of who is taking them. Because unlike others I have a pool of second photographers who have the same skill set, ethics and approach. And by having two photographers at your wedding, we’ll be able to get photos in two places at once - which means even more memories to look back on.
Prints & Heirloom Albums
Frame them, display them, stick em in a glass box. Regardless of how you choose to showcase your wedding, just do it! And when you do, I’d love to help. Because unlike prints from Costco, when I print your images in-house, I print them on acid free and watercolor papers that stand the test of time. And should you not know which images to select or how to arrange the photos in your album, I’ll design and deliver it for you 4 to 8 weeks after you place your order.
